I live in the south, and it is already 100% too hot for pants! Who else can relate? 

I love finding versatile summer dresses that keep me cool and that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. These days, going to the grocery store can feel special, so why not get dressed up a little? 

I recently found this coral, ruffle hem dress from Target. It’s a steal at only $24.99! If you have a RedCard (I have the debit card option), you get free 2-day shipping. That’s an even better deal!

The dress is flowy and oversized, so I recommend sizing down if you want it a little more fitted. Beware though that the smaller you go, the shorter the dress will be on you. I got my regular size and like the flowiness. I think this dress is cute with gold wedges, but would also be cute dressed down with flat sandals or even cute tennis shoes.

There are also other color options, including a leopard print! I think that would be such a great transition piece. You could wear it with sandals in the summer and pair it with a denim jacket and booties for fall. 

The material feels expensive and not cheap. It does not stretch, but I didn’t feel like I needed any stretch since the dress flows so well. 

I’ve linked this dress in plus and regular sizes, along with some other ruffle hem dress options! Every dress is priced below $50, making those such a great deal to add to your summer wardrobe. I’ve also linked wedge options (these are old from Torrid) and my favorite casual tennis shoe option. Happy shopping!
