easy to throw on, fun, budget-conscious summer dresses?

I really, REALLY want one this year. Something fun and lightweight that I can wear on my day off without feeling overly fussy. I'm looking at this one:

But I want something in a fun print too. Thoughts?

Oooh; that looks like a fun summer dress! I stalk my favorite stores at the end of the season usually for summer dresses, so I can get them for $5 and $10 :p

Mmm, but if I had to go right now to get one that wasn't too short (F21!), I'd probably try something like the Gap and use a coupon!

I love comfy, knit dresses and usually stock up at Old Navy and Target.

I'd say Gap...with a coupon of course! I've also had hit or miss luck at the Nordies Rack. Also the BP section at Nordstrom, the sale rack at Banana Republic, and Urban Outfitters...Or thrift and vintage shops!

Macy's for dresses, always.

Sierra Trading Post has some great deals and nice styles. But it's all online so you have to take a chance with ordering. They almost always have coupons floating around too.

Target and eBay for many of my dresses. Depending on if you're in the South, Beall's Outlet often has great dress selections. Also Ross is a dress treasure trove.

Hmm kind of everywhere. I wear dresses a good majority of the summer (thought i'm working on changing that up a bit for this summer!). Budget friendly I'd first hit up H&M and Target but they're really everywhere. My main factors usually are length and if they have a built in liner because i'm not a fan of wearing a slip when it's already 80-90 outside.

TJ Maxx and Target.

Try eBay too, I'm just getting back into eBay. Great deals (but also high addiction potential!)

I found a lot of great dresses recently at Lord & Taylor -- for some reason the one near me has WAY more dress selection than Macy's. My days are quite casual, so I was looking for much the same thing you are. I left with four dresses!

I like that dress you posted. I'm tempted to order that myself!

I am a big fan of Target for true wash and go dresses, usually casual in style. I also like Banana Republic and BCBG for work dresses.
