There's just something about stepping into a piece of clothing that makes you feel good that can change your entire outlook on the day. Suddenly you're walking with extra pep and, even if the weather's still a bit chilly, no breeze can get you down.
That's exactly how we felt when we spotted these Old Navy dresses. We're already planning the sandals, heels, and sneakers to carry us on our public catwalk, and we'll even grab a light jacket [1] if we need to.
Because it's the time to get a deal for Memorial Day weekend, we looked through the entire sale section to select only the very best pieces marked down now [2], and not one of our favourites costs more than $40. Even if you didn't think you needed a new sundress, see the 21 that are sure to change your mind.
