If you're looking to make a statement at your next Summer fete, we've got the perfect find — minimal effort required. This little striped and colorblocked mini ($49) is multifunctional, adorably sweet, and just a little different than your average seasonal stripes. Picture it on the beach with sandals, at work with a blazer and ballet flats, or a cocktail party with an oversize clutch and a pair of strappy leather heels. With a wear-it-anywhere style and an under-$50 price, it would be silly not to, right?

We're stocking up on Summer dresses, the kind we can wear as easily to the office as we can on vacation. We spied this denim A-line shirtdress ($56, originally $93), and thought how perfectly it fit our requirements — and our budget. Besides the fact that we always love a LWD for Summer, we're also smitten with the easy silhouette to play up with a pair of girlie wedges, or down with strappy, flat sandals.

Since Summer is practically synonymous with effortless glamour, we want nothing over done. Our dresses should be easy to slip into, to layer over our swimwear, and to take us to the beach. The answer to what we're looking for looks like this — a beautifully printed maxi dress ($70, originally $78) that would look as perfect on the shore as it would at an outdoor wedding.

We need that throw-it-on everyday kind of dress, the one that's almost black but not, has some sexy detailing, short enough to show some leg and our fresh Spring sandals, and basic enough to pair with a denim jacket or little cropped blazer. Enter this Roxy sundress ($44) that answers all our needs and doesn't put a big dent in our bank account.
