Happy Wednesday! Today, I’m highlighting spring [and summer] dresses under $30 with Forever 21. I have put together two shopping boards below. One board showcases must-have maxis you’ll wear all summer, and one displays short dresses that will take you to family & friend reunions, shopping dates, coffee and brunch on the weekends, and everything in between! (Note that Forever 21 offers free shipping on orders over $50.)

Budget Friendly Maxi Dresses

I adore the wispy pastel colors and the floral patterns that are everywhere for spring right now! I appreciate how many of these maxi dresses also measure longer, so depending on how tall you are – flat strappy sandals or cute wedges will take these dresses anywhere. They are also a perfect transition piece from spring to summer. (Click on any of the images below to go to the exact product.)

Budget Friendly Short Dresses

These shorter dresses just scream summer to me! Raise your hand if you’re a teacher because who doesn’t need some of these during your months “off” work?! I don’t know how many times throughout the summer I find myself meeting E or girlfriends for a quick lunch or happy hour, or toting around friends & family who are in AZ visiting to site see, brunch, shop, and enjoy the sunshine. No matter what – I’m always looking for cute, flattering dresses that help me stay chic in our hot summer temps. (Click on any of the images below to go to the exact product.)

What type of dresses are your spring and summer “must-haves”? I’d love to hear!
