I'm excited to share these two summer dresses with you that I found at Target and will be wearing all season long. They are super affordable and so cute!! As you guys know, I'm obsessed with blue and white stripes (it might be a problem) so I was immediately drawn to this stripe dress. I just love the feminine ruffles and wrap silhouette with a tie at the waist, making it a fun twist to this summer classic and very flattering. I'm all about breezy, comfortable dresses this time of year (especially when it hits 90 degrees! Eek!). And you can dress it up or down with block heels or flat sandals.

Polka dots are having a huge moment right now and were all over the spring runways. Although saying that also makes me laugh because doesn't it seem like stripes and polka dots are always in style?! But seriously - ladies, don't ever get rid of your stripes or polka dots because they will always be a classic look. I love that this polka dot dress has a fun little cut out detail with a knot in in the front giving it a modern feel to this retro style dress. Oh and there are pockets!!! There are a ton of adorable polka dot dresses at Target right now including this white and black one that I also love!
