There are so many things I love about summer: the picnics, trips to the beach, the hot days and breezy nights. But here’s the thing: summer isn’t summer without a super cute sundress. In fact, several sundresses would be better because it’s important to have the right dress for the right occasion. You know, nothing too revealing for the playground, and something on the flirty side for a night out with the gals.
Every mom deserves something new for summer, so we say it’s time to shop for a new summer sundress (or three). Check out our favorite picks. Colorful, fun, sexy, floaty — we’ve got something for everyone.
