You know how a piece has to be really good for you to want to wear it when it’s out of your comfort zone? Such is the case with myself and dresses.

When I buy and wear a dress, you can almost guarantee it’s because I can’t resist how pretty it looks.

From minidresses to longer styles, affordable options to budget-defying favorites, keep scrolling for the 29 Nordstrom finds that make me want to change my look.
