I am the proud owner of too-many but much-loved inexpensive dresses. Which I suspect you know well by now! In any case, I recently came across a motherlode of great options that might pique the proud cheap dress owner in you. They include the $21 (!) cut-out dress, above, this Marni-like Julia Jordran, this River Island animal-print midi, this puff-sleeve Asos maxi, this Opt mini (looks like Sea or Ulla), this tiered ASTR, this kaftan-spirited H&M, and this eyelet En Saison. There's also a slew of them on sale here!

Ulla Johnson's consistently stunning streak of wanderlust-spirited designs has rightfully earned her a cult following. (See her latest drop here!) Of course, her signature look has also spawned less expensive lookalikes, and, you know what, it doesn't hurt to check them out: the ruffled maxi, above, is a knockout, with its batik print and floaty feel. Also compelling are these by Spell, Farm Rio, Zara, Roller Rabbit, Sika, and A.L.C.

In case I didn't tell you, I'm getting dress revenge. Meaning: I am going to make up for all of last year's non-dress wearing with future non-stop dress wearing! And I'm building up my arsenal with giddily affordable, statement-making frocks including the chic chain print Mango, above, this floral ($20!) Asos, this paisley Rahi mini, this cut-out Likely, this LSpace wrap, this feather-trimmed River Island (go up a size!), and this ruffled Roller Rabbit.
