I’m Due for a Summer Dress Overhaul, So I’m Buying 8 Under-$100 Nordstrom Styles

I avoid putting on picky or clingy clothing and rather opt for pieces that are breathable, comfortable, and can quickly be dressed up or down– i.e. the ideal summertime dress. I took to Nordstrom’s sale area to discover eight breezy designs from Madewell, Free People, and more.
Zella Departure Travel Shift Dress

My mother is a T-shirt gown connoisseur, and one of her favorites is Zella’s Departure Travel Shift Dress, calling it comfy, lightweight, breathable, and easy to style. She’ll definitely be stockpiling on her go-to summer dress while it’s on sale for 36 percent off.

The short-sleeve T-shirt dress comes in 3 colors– black, gray, and green– and sizes XS through 2XL. It includes a team neck line, two large patch pockets, and a side slit that stops at the knee. The dress includes a stretchy knit material that can be quickly pulled over your head, a breezy shape that falls away from the body, and a length that hits at about mid-calf, depending on your height.

Free People Catalina Mixed-Media Minidress
I’ve been consumed with the mixed-media dress pattern. The last time I remained in D.C., I saw many people using the design, and ever since, my good friends and I have been searching for more pieces that mix knit and woven fabrics. So, stumbling across this Free People Catalina Mixed-Media Minidress for 35 percent off was a significant win.

It is available in orange, green, and white and sizes XS to XL. The length stops at about mid-thigh, depending upon height, and both juxtaposing fabrics are made from 100 percent cotton. The upper half– a stretchy T-shirt-like knit product– has a traditional team neck line and pre-cuffed sleeves, while the bottom half is made from a crisp and breezy woven material, including great deals of fullness and covert pockets on both sides.

Madewell Ariana Midi DressMadewell is one of my go-to brand names for summertime dresses that are always high quality, versatile, and comfy. When I found that the Ariana Midi Dress that’s been on my wishlist for months is on sale for 50 percent off, it was an immediate include to cart.
