Finally, finally I can stop wearing tons of layers and let my legs be free — preferably while walking around my neighborhood in colorful, printed spring dresses. Now that the world is on its way to getting vaccinated, I'm more excited about getting dressed than I have been in over a year, and admittedly can't stop browsing for clothes I might wear for future made-up occasions. I have a spring birthday, so I want something poufy to celebrate in (even if it's for a small park hang), and I'm also feeling the whole '00s comeback, meaning a tight, strappy mini is a must. The Pully Top Is the New Strange Fashion Trend Celebrities Can't Stop Wearing My spring dress shopping list seems to grow by the day, but since I can't realistically buy everything I'm lusting after (without going into debt, that is), I might as well share my picks with some other fashion lovers, so we can benefit. Some of these designs are bold and whimsical, while others are subtle and sexy. There are a few meant for cooler days, with longer sleeves and sweater material, while a handful will work for that random spike in temperature, or can easily be layered over a button-down or T-shirt. Still, each and every dress is super cute in its own way, and you'll want to scoop one (or two!) up before they sell out.
