With summer fast approaching the number one item on my client's shopping lists are dresses, dresses, and more dresses.
With that in mind I recently spent a day at my local Nordstrom trying on dresses in search of ones worthy of recommending. It's important for me to make sure the fit, fabric, and feel are just right before I recommend them to my clients and to you as well.
I lost count just how many dresses I tried on... it was a lot... but it was worth the time and effort! See for yourself... Below are the winners that I know you'll love and live in all summer long!
Keep scrolling to see which dresses made the cut... there are plenty of pretty ones to choose from, including cocktail dresses, floral sundresses, and everyday dresses too...

I couldn't resist sharing this jumpsuit with you. While trying on dresses for this post I came across this beauty.
Jumpsuits are versatile and easy to wear, they're also on-trend this season. You can easily dress them up with some heels and statement jewelry, or dress them down with some sneakers and a denim jacket. Love, love, love this one below!
I'm also sharing the slingback sandal that I wore while trying on all the dresses. It's an ankle flattering, fashionable shoe and a smart alternative to tall heels. Feel free to pair it with any of the dresses I recommended above...
