Going on vacation is obviously fun — but packing for it? Not so much. If you’re struggling to find the right outfits to fill your suitcase, these vacation dresses are a solid bet. For one, a dress is one piece, so you don’t have to worry about matching it with anything else. Pop a denim jacket over top if it gets chilly, and swap your flip-flops for heels if you want to dress it up. Dresses are also generally pretty breezy, so if the temps climb up well past 90 degrees Fahrenheit, you’ll still feel comfortable and as cool as sipping a piña colada (well, almost).
Of course, you probably have something in your closet to take with you, but having something new to show off always feels good. And isn’t that the point of vacation: To feel good? Take a look below at seven pretty vacation dresses, all from Nordstrom Rack and all under $50. Nordstrom Rack has so many great dresses at really great prices that you’re bound to find something you’ll want to wear for strutting in the sun.
