The $45 Summer Dress You'll Never Want to Take Off

One of the most useful pieces of clothing in our summer wardrobes? The wear-anywhere dress that you can actually wear anywhere. We're talking to work, for summer parties, at weekend brunch, on vacation, to a summer barbecue, and wherever else you deem worthy of a dress.

While T-shirt dresses are comfy, Instagrammable vacation dresses are, well, Instagrammable, and puffy-sleeved, ruffled, and off-the-shoulder dresses are feminine and romantic for weddings, this cute and superaffordable Belted Button-Down Dress from the POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's is what we like to call a "wear anywhere, any time" style that looks great on every woman.

That might sound like a grand statement, but look at it! The midi silhouette hits at a flattering point that's as suitable for the office with pumps as it is with block heels and shell earrings for a summer party. The lightweight cotton fabric means it's breathable enough to wear with sandals and a straw bag for a weekend stroll or styled open over a bathing suit at the beach. With a flattering tie waist, you can dress it up with gold heels and sleek earrings for a date or channel French-girl chic with a fisherman tote and slides at the farmer's market. A total wardrobe hero! Oh, and even better, it's only $45 — how could you not scoop it up in both red and blue?
