You’ve probably clicked through to a few of the dresses on here and been like, ‘Geez Danielle, $450+ for a dress?! What kind of budget are you working with?” Okay maybe you’ve never said that and it’s just me saying it to myself but anyways, when I’m picking out dresses on here – I’m working with an aspirational budget.

Yes, I may tend to splurge a little (or a lot, depending on whether you ask Drew) on a Derby dress, I know that finding one that’s adorable and not crazy expensive is ideal. Enter LOFT. If you ever buy something full price from LOFT, shame on you. (sorry didn’t mean for that to come out so harsh).

They are always having crazy sales, like today’s where everything is 40% off. Yup, everything which includes this cute scalloped dress AND both pairs of sandals. We’re talking a great summer dress for $53. Coral/pink not your color? It comes in yellow too.

Grab this if you’re seated anywhere outside on Derby day. That vent detail in the back will not only look great but give you a nice little breeze action to keep you from dying of heat exhaustion. Got a seat, grab the lace up heels. Stuck standing? No worries- just snag the wedges. You’ll have a brand new look for less than $150 and that includes shipping. See I told you I could do Derby on a budget.
