On Wednesday night I went into the city for dinner with my dad and sister and wore this amazing Saloni dress. I got so many follow up questions about it that I decided to do a full post on the exact outfit I wore and link up a bunch of amazing spring dresses at different price points. This one is definitely an investment piece, but there are so many beautifully bright spring dresses out there right now for under $100 and even under $50. I rounded up some of my favorites below.
I impulse-bought this orange sweater blazer (which I already have in grey and navy) because I got a little chilly but holy cow, how perfect was it for the dress? The salespeople at J.Crew were freaking out as was I. This whole outfit and all the colors just makes me smile which I really needed this week because we’re currently on day six of Amalia’s flu and I’m about to truly lose my marbles.
It was fun to wear this outfit on the streets of new york. Multiple people stopped me to compliment me on it, including an old man randomly dressed in a tuxedo. So that was fun! I love the bright colors in the dress pattern and with the pink headband and orange jacket, I felt like a human rainbow.
I haven’t gotten mine yet, but Tuckernuck just came out with an exclusive line that is absolutely gorgeous. I quite literally love every single piece in the collection. I included this green patterned dress (my personal favorite) and this shirt dress below but I have to give a shout out to this incredible maxi dress that is basically what my dress dreams are made of. Bravo, Tuckernuck, bravo.
My friend Alex also just dropped 12 new prints in her line, Persifor. This dress/print combo is my favorite followed closely by these cute pineapples.
There are also a lot of great options here for under $50 including this orange floral romper and a super flattering faux wrap dress that I have in two colors from last spring.

You look beautiful in that dress! Lovely assortment in all price points too! Thank you!
Thanks, Melanie!
This dress is so so gorgeous!!! I love a good spring dress, and need to do some spring shopping to add to my collection this season. I absolutely adore the madras plaid J. Crew dress you linked! So freaking cute! I hope Amalia starts to feel better soon. The flu is very sucky, but she is a strong little one, and she will fight it off soon! Here for support!

I just got that madras dress and it’s even better in person. And thank you so much! I hope she’s better soon too.
OK I have a big problem with this post – how do I pick just one?!? LOVE them all!!!
I know. It’s a major problem and I’m sorry for causing you stress 🙂
LOVE the blue and white dress from J Crew Factory!! What size do you have? The reviews say it runs a bit big.
It does run large. Both of mine are size 2 and still slightly loose. I usually wear 2 or 4.
Super cute, post! Where are your sunglasses from? I’m on the hunt for a new pair and love yours!
Thanks! They are the Karen Walker “Super Duper” glasses and I have had them for years and years. They are an investment, but worth it IMO.
Love these dress picks! That orange blazer is such a fun touch!
Such a darling dress! And that orange blazer looks amazing on you.
