(Susana Manaco Gold Penelope Dress $156)

A simple jersey dress or a basic cotton tunic. There’s nothing better than a piece of clothing you can throw on with flats in the daytime, dress up with heels for the evening, and look amazing either way. Keep reading for our picks to jump start your spring dress wardrobe.

Feeling flirty? Then the Dot Dress from American Eagle ($49.50) is the perfect spring dress to fit your mood. It’s easy and breezy with it’s layered skirt and the added width at the bottom. The bubble gum pink color and the fun little polka dots make it ultra girly. This dress will go perfectly with a white bag and a backless wedge heel.

For something a bit more serious but equally comfortable, try the Dark Blue Cotton Linen Belted Jumper Dress by Walter ($159). The silhouette of this dress truly looks great on any figure; it’s just the right length to balance out proportions from top to bottom, and the belt will cinch in the waist and create that coveted hourglass figure.

Don’t forget about prints! The Marc by Marc Jacobs Star Blossom Dress ($378) is definitely a print to die for. The hot pink on this simple empire style dress contrasts perfectly with the black and purple print. This piece can easily be worn in the daytime or the evening, but most importantly it will be eye catching either way.

The shapeless look is definitely still in, and Tibi is doing it well with the Green Print Trapeze Dresses ($317). We love that this dress isn’t terribly body conscious but is bold in color and in print at the same time. The seafoam green and white will definitely pop and are perfect colors for spring. Pair this super short mini with a super high strappy sandal.

You certainly don’t have to be uncomfortable or over dressed to make a statement with any of these dresses. As soon as you get one of these dresses in your closet, we’re sure you’ll be counting down the days until spring.
