Party in Pastel
This dress just begs for sun and good times with friends. The cutout back gives it a slightly summer vibe, but if you’re ready to wear it for spring, all you need are some sandals and some sunscreen—picnic on the quad, anyone?
The Confetti Dress: $35.00, MISS KL

Neon Wave
A show stopper for sure! This bright blue bandeau dress is perfect for when you need some extra energy. The key to wearing this dress is confidence and a shining smile! Some nude peep toes wouldn’t hurt, either.
Megan Turquoise Bandeau Skater Dress: $23.00, Shelikes.com
Under $50:
Bold Ballerina
Don’t let the bubblegum pink of this dress fool you: it can be tough, too! With a criss-cross open back, skater skirt, and knit fabric, this dress can go anywhere, but we prefer it for a night out. Add a statement necklace if it’s warm, and if the night takes on a chill, a leather jacket is the perfect finishing piece.
Neon Crossing Cutout Dress: $29.50, Threadscence
Under $100:
Red Alert
Relaxed and laidback, this dress is perfect when you want to throw something on quickly but still look presentable. The ombre distressing adds visual interest and the hem highlights legs in a modest way. Wedge sandals or flats would work well here, as would a stack of metallic bangles for a little sparkle!
Rhythm To Die Rust Red Ombre Dress: $58.00, LuLu’s
Under $200:
Sunny Day
Finishing off our list is this eye-catching yellow dress. With an angled peplum construction and deep V-neck, it is refined but unique all at once. Try it with basic pumps to best balance proportions.
