8 Dresses I’ve Been Wearing On Repeat

May 30, 2024

My spring and summer wardrobe is all about comfort and staying cool. For me that means wearing lots of dresses.  They’re the perfect way to beat the Texas heat. So whether I’m running errands or meeting friends for lunch, I like the thought of throwing on a dress that I know flatters and fits well. For this post today I decided to share 8 dresses for spring and summer that I’ve been wearing on repeat that fit the bill. And the best news is that most of these are on sale right now, so grab them while you can. Bonus, if you’re petite like me, they’re all petite friendly and some come in petite or plus size too.

A woman stands on a stepping stone in a garden, wearing a long green eyelet dress and holding a brown tote bag. She adjusts her sunglasses with one hand. The garden has blooming red flowers, and a brick house is visible in the background.

The prettiest grass green midi dress in an eyelet material. It has a smocked waist that’s figure-flattering. I’m wearing size XS here, but actually exchanged for a Small for a little more room in the bust area. I paired it with my Marc Jacobs small jacquard tote and a pair of strappy slides.

A woman in a sleeveless red dress stands on a stone pathway in a garden. Behind her are trees, and in the background, a body of water with a fountain can be seen. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

This red midi dress is a good option for a date night outfit! I love the tie on the side for a figure flattering fit and the bottom hemline has an embroidered eyelet which adds a nice subtle detail to this gorgeous color. Also comes in blue. I’m wearing size medium, but could’ve worn a small too. Paired with comfy gold cork slides that runs true to size.

Dress // Slide Sandals // Stud Earrings // Watch

A woman stands smiling in front of a brown wooden door with a floral wreath. She wears a white dress, sunglasses, and sandals, holding a tan tote bag labeled "THE TOTE BAG MARC JACOBS." The doorway is framed with brick, and she stands on a woven doormat.

White linen utility style dress with short sleeves. Runs tts. Wearing size 4. Also comes in petite sizes but I like the longer length.

Dress // Sandals // Belt // Tote Bag // Sunglasses // Smart Watch

A woman stands indoors, smiling at the camera. She is wearing an olive green sleeveless dress with an elastic waistband, hands in her pockets. A wooden cabinet and abstract painting are seen in the background.

This olive green midi sweat dress has been a go-to dress lately! One of the comfiest that I have. Runs a touch long on us shorter gals but looks amazing regardless! Available in other colors too and I just ordered the navy myself.

Dress // Smart Watch // Hoop Earrings // Flat Sandals // Necklace

A woman stands on a porch in front of a wooded area, wearing a sleeveless, lavender dress with ruffle details and a waist tie. She is smiling, has long brown hair, and is wearing sandals. The background features trees and greenery.

Here’s a lilac colored midi dress that’s perfect for all spring and summer events! It’s so pretty with the tiers and ruffled hem. Wearing size small dress. It will be shorter on you tall ladies.

Dress // Earrings // Sandals // Necklace // Bracelet

A woman in a red and white floral dress stands in front of a brick house with a wooden door, a floral wreath, and a potted plant. She is wearing sunglasses and clear sandals, holding a black handbag.

Red floral dress for spring and summer. It has beautiful button details on the bodice. The style is both feminine and sexy at the same time. The fabric is a soft polyester and the dress is fully lined with a slit at the side. I’m wearing a size Small. Nice for date nights, lunch, weddings, and more. Cute with a jean jacket topper too.

Dress // Necklace // Earrings // Heels // Sunglasses // Bag

A woman takes a selfie in a mirror, wearing a sleeveless, coral-colored dress with a gathered waist and long, flowing skirt. She is in a dressing room with additional clothing hanging on the wall behind her. She holds a phone in her right hand.

Here’s a fun summer dress that you should wear on your next vacation (excuse my sneakers)! This is a pretty terra cotta color. I love the tiers and the ties at the waist. Runs big. I’m wearing an XS. Longer on me at 5’2″.

Dress // Sneakers // Smart Watch // Bracelet // Pearl Charm

Loft navy and white striped midi dress

I think this navy and white striped dress is ultra flattering for most body shapes. The direction of the stripes and the tie at the side of the waist cinch in at all the right places. I’m wearing size XS in regular and I don’t mind the longer length on my petite height.

Dress // White Sneakers
