I was wondering if you have any ideas where I can find an affordable and cute Easter dress. It would also be nice to find a dress than I can wear on a daily basis other than Easter. —Anne
Every girl loves a new Easter dress. Indulge your feminine side and stick to your budget with a cute, affordable dress that you can still wear after the last deviled egg is gone (mmmm...eggs). Here are 10 options to help you out (click any image to shop):  |
1. Wear this versatile jersey dress from Old Navy with a camisole, cardigan, pretty belt and heels for Easter festivities, or with a denim jacket and white Converse sneaks for running errands. Also comes in dark blue or black at OldNavy.com, just $10!
 |
2. Easter dresses don't have to be floral, frilly or pastel. Here's a sophisticated wrap from Twelve by Twelve in a brilliant blue that still shouts spring!
 |
3. The always-flattering wrap dress is perfect for Easter egg hunts or the office. Also comes in black at OldNavy.com, $12.99 to $19.99
 |
4. This is the dress I'm considering for Easter, which I would pair with a 3/4 sleeve eggplant-purple cardigan a la Elle McPherson. The color makes it so right for spring, and the casual, shirtdress fabric makes it appropriate for everyday. It's kinda stiff and tunic-like, so if you want something that drapes, this won't work. Also comes in berry, brown or black at Target, $24.99

5. You'll either love or hate this bold mod print, but trust me, it looks better in person! Target's Merona line has a couple really cute dresses in stock right now that are all very garden-party chic, including the one shown here, another style in raspberry/navy/white and a pink eyelet-lace shift with a notch collar that I just loved. (I think they're trying to make up for Isaac's absence.) While you might not wear this dress every day, at this price you can afford to get yourself something fun for Easter and all your summer parties. $44.99 at Target.com

6. How can you resist this vibrant hue and those delicate ruffles? Wear this ELLE collection for Kohl's dress with a cardigan and demure accessories for Easter, then dress it up later for a dinner date or cocktails with slinky heels and a fab clutch. $32.99 at Kohls.com
 |
7. Here's another coral number (this color's everywhere!) but in a classic shirtdress style. Playful color, conservative cut makes this a winner for Easter Sunday and beyond. $49.99 at Martin + Osa
8. I'm all about Nicole Miller for JCPenney because the prints are beautiful and unique, so you can actually get that signature Nicole Miller look for less. This mod print wrap dress would be a chic choice for Easter with the fam or meetings with the boss.

9. This New York & Co. dress has just the right amount of ruffle and the color is pure sunshine! Looks very similar to something I saw at J. Crew not long ago, too. $54.95 at New York & Co.
10. First Lady Michelle Obama has reminded me that a black and white sheath can be worn for almost any occasion, any season, and look incredibly chic. This one's by George for Walmart and costs just $15!
