You know that saying "it's five o'clock somewhere" (as a reason to get excited and start happy hour early [1])? Well, we uncovered so many colourful dresses at Target that we're changing it to "it's spring somewhere." We're set to wear these outfits this very moment, and we bet these dresses will have you just as ready for the upcoming season change [2], too.
Plus, even if it's still cold in your neck of the woods, most of these can easily be layered under cosy cardigans and over tights so there's pretty much no reason not to shop now. But, if you need another excuse, every single one of our picks is under $40.
Check out the 23 Target dresses giving us major spring fever [3] ahead.
