The Perfect Summer Dress Under $100

Ashley Robertson in Bell Sleeve Dress

Each Summer, we all search for that perfect dress. You know, the one you can wear to a wedding, party or throw on with ballet flats for brunch with your girlfriends. Well, this is that dress for me. I found this floral dress at Nordstrom Rack, just before we left for Paris, and knew it would be perfect to wear to dinner one evening or pair with flats for a day walking around the city. 

Our first day in Paris, was so nice. The weather was a little gloomy, but the 70° temperature was a nice break from the 90’s we left back in Dallas.  This dress was perfect to wear! I loved the feminine details with the bell sleeves and babydoll waist.

I’ve also been on the hunt for a pair of Gladiator Sandals with a block heel. I love these and the heel height is practical for a day on your feet. I was very surprised how comfortable these are! Nordstrom Rack is one of my favorite places to find deals on designer shoes & dresses. Now that you can shop online, it makes it so easy to find the look.

Stay tuned for more snapshots from Paris! Until then, you can see more from our trip via my Snapchat [the teacher diva], Instagram or Facebook. Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely Sunday! xx Ashley

    I love NR but every year I find there are less true designer brands sold vs. designers licensing their name. Then things are marked up Khols style to make it seem like you’re getting a deal. In reality you’re getting lower quality items and paying to feel good about having a “designer” label…

    I find shopping in store produces better results because you can dig for premium labels. I even scored a Valentino rockstud bag 60% off because two studs were missing (which I got replaced for free in 5 minutes at Valentino). Anyway, great store + cute outfit.
