Sweet Summer Dresses

We all love a great summer dress. They're easy, pretty, and lightweight for hot summer months and can easily go from day to night. Summer dresses can take the year's biggest trends and make them a little flirtier.  Here are a few things we're loving at Pretty Chatty- plus they're all under $60!

Nordstrom Soprano Print Ruffle Sleeve Dress- $44
The sleeves on this little shift are just too sweet. 

Old Navy Ruffled Chiffon Maxi Dress- $39.94
The floral on Navy makes this a great dress for sultry summer evenings.

Merona Target Ruffle Front Maxi Dress- $32.99
A sunny dress with a little more coverage!

Ann Taylor Loft Cascade Ruffle Front Dress $49.50
Hello- Tangerine Tango! 

Francesca's Collection Globe Trotting Dress - $38

Gap Neon Crewneck Dress $49.95
Neons are hot this summer, and this is a great basic tee dress made more exciting by the bright pink hue.  

Old Navy Cross-Yoke Dress $24.95
Chevron is everywhere and this dress is a great way to wear the trend. 

eShakti Ruffle Front Dress- Some sizes/colors $35.95 (Others $59.95)
The little white dress is summer's version of the LBD. We love this ruffly number- so feminine!

eShakti Bow Tied Floral Dress $59.95
You know you love that little bow detail.

Modcloth Summer Fair Dress- $47.99 
A little bit of innocent lace looks great with this melon-colored dress. 

 Modcloth Toile You Need Dress $47.99
There's something oh so romantic about this cornflower blue toile. 

AE Scalloped Lace Dress- $59.50
This is such a sultry pick, but sweetened by the soft scalloped detail. A great date night dress.

We hope you enjoyed this pretty range of inexpensive summer dresses, they're definitely a staple in our wardrobes!

Where are you shopping for summer dresses this year? 

Stay beautiful,

Roses and Ray Bans

I've always been in love with the various bloggers and their amazing outfit posts. I think they're always so put together, but unique at the same time. Since Hannah and I decided to venture into Pretty Chatty, I definitely knew I wanted to start doing these posts as well because it's a new look into my daily life. I didn't know where to begin except for in my "Fashionality" folder on my Macbook, where I keep a variety of saved outfit inspiration pictures I've collected from Pinterest, Tumblr, and even Facebook. I usually play it pretty safe, but I was excited to try out some new outfit combinations for the sake of this blog. Today's outfit was inspired by one of mine (and Hannah's) current favorite style icons, Dianna Agron, in this picture:

The look is so effortlessly chic and totally perfect for transitioning into Spring with the Chambray top tied over a fun patterned sun dress. (Plus, I was dying to find a way to wear this orange floral dress I bought last Fall that's been gathering dust in my closet!) I think the Chambray top is a must for every spring wardrobe because it's a perfect neutral layering piece that is comfortable, loose, and goes with so many different outfits, it's crazy!

Chambray Top - Old Navy, Orange Floral Sun Dress - Forever 21, Sunglasses - Ray Ban, Wedges - Frye, Watch - Michael Kors, Bow Necklace - Tiffany & Co, and Nail Polish - OPI Stranger Tides

Take time today to really stop and smell the roses (like I got to during this shoot). There's nothing like the beautiful fragrance of roses blooming in the spring time to make you appreciate your day. 

Sealed with a kiss,

Danielle
