10 Fresh Frocks Under USD60 Perfect for the Junior Fashionista

Saturday, August 4, 2012 • by Roselle

For the junior fashionista who loves to shop (or for the mommy who loves to dress up her teen princess), how about we head over to Nordstrom and go dress-shopping today? They have some really gorgeous pieces that you can sport this summer, and layer with other items for back-to-school fall season.

If you’re feeling a bit lazy, don’t worry. We took the liberty of selecting ten (10) dresses you can start with. These are super cute and extremely affordable. Well, are you ready to shop?

The Ever Reliable Trapeze

A failsafe dress that you can dress up or down. Wear it alone this summer or layer it with other items once the cold weather starts. Perfect with sandals or boots too!

Mimi Chica Oversized Trapeze, USD44

The Denim Dress

Update your denim dress for summer with this cute chambray number from Band of Gypsies. For fall, wear it with tights, a fitted long-sleeved tee, a coat, and maybe a cute beanie to go with. OR, simply top it with a sweater or a button down tied at the waist!

Band of Gypsies Smocked Tank Dress, USD48

The Strapless Day Dress

Another effortless number you can easily transition to fall with just a few add-ons. Figuring out how and what to wear with this one is a no-brainer too!

Mimi Chica Floral Strapless Dress, USD48

The Neat Nautical

You can’t not have at least one fresh and preppy nautical item in your closet this summer. And whoever said you won’t be able to wear this come fall? Just layer it with a sweater and some boots and presto! You’re done!

Lush Nautical Stripe Midi Dress, USD48

The Lace Frock

No matter the season, every young fashionista should have a lace frock in her closet. It’s delicate, lady-like, romantic, and completely versatile:

The Ruffled High-Low

Flirty ruffles and a high-low hemline are the perfect formula to looking fabulous. Why not try it with this piece from Leola? For fall, just layer it with some knits, a cute hat, tights, and boots. What do you think?

Leola Couture Chiffon Midi, USD52

The Polka Dot

Much like those nautical stripes, a girl should also have a girly dotted dress. This piece from Dee Elle is the perfect one to grab. It’s young, fresh, timeless, and comes with that playful schoolgirl vibe:

The Sporty Colorblock

Worn alone, this colorblock dress personifies sporty summer dressing. But try it with other pieces this fall and you’ll be surprised with the looks you can achieve:

The Sheer Chiffon

Another failsafe dress you can transition to fall with ease. Layering it with the right pieces is always the key. Are you up for it?

The Wild Card

Something unexpected but easy to wear. Dots, mesh, and bright color rolled into one. It’s the perfect statement dress to sport this summer. Come fall, tone it down with a sweater or a coat; do the layering drill. Ready?

Soprano Sheer Yoke Dress, USD46

Well, what do you think of these ten (10) selections? Don’t you wish you could just grab all 10? Or are you craving for more? To shop, simply head over to Nordstrom. Have fun!
