    35 Gorgeous Floral Dresses Under $50

    Turns out florals for spring *are* ground-breaking when they're this affordable.

    1. A GORGEOUS midi dress I own and wore on a recent weekend getaway but had so much fun while wearing it that I forgot to get a pic in it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Suffice to say, it's the BEST.

    2. A ruffled V-neck mini available in enough colorways (including five floral options) that if you'd like, you could wear a different one for each day of the month! It's good to have options.
