Although brands are slowly rolling out their fall collections, I am still on the hunt for summer dresses. There is currently a heatwave in NYC, it feels as if it is 100 degrees and all I want to wear are flowy dresses. Something I can throw on, feel comfortable, and still look chic. With so many different styles and prints, it takes all of my will power not to buy everything I stumble upon. This is why I need to shop for affordable dresses. I have gathered together some cute summer dresses for under $200.

When I was in Ohio, my mom and I would drive to the Park of Roses to walk around the garden. For those of you who do not live in Columbus, Park of Roses is exactly how it sounds. It’s this huge park with baseball fields, playgrounds, standard park attributes, but it also has this large section filled with flowers and a beautiful water fountain. With a little research, I found out that Park of Roses is one of the largest public gardens in the U.S. They have a variety of roses like floribunda, damasks, gallicas, and centifolias, as well as perennials, herbs, bulbs, and ornamental trees.

Another day, another floral dress that I love to wear. But this time I am wearing it in… what’s that? A garden! My the coincidence of it all insert winking face. It’s no surprise that I have a deep love for floral dresses. From a maxi to mini dresses, I swoon over the beautiful feminine print. I mean my blog name doesn’t have blooms in it for no reason! My life is surrounded by flowers from my decor to my phone background to yes, the majority of my wardrobe.

Some of us may not be able to enjoy the beach or layout by the pool this summer. But if there’s a will there’s a way. I am planning on spending a few weekends trying to find a spot in the park 6ft away from everyone else. To lay peacefully with the sun on my skin and pretend life is normal. Whether our towels lay on the sand or on the grass we will find a way to wear our swimsuits and get a tan (wear your SPF!). Heading to and from the park or the pool one needs a cover-up, especially here in New York. I am not about to walk around the city in just my bikini. And no sarongs for this lady. I need something to easily throw on over my swimsuit and one that is acceptable to wear into a store or restaurant.  I currently have a romper that I wear, but would much prefer a cute cover-up dress.
