We may still have a week left of spring, but let’s be honest, with the weather being so nice out lately, we’ve already been in summer-mode for the last month. Believe it or not, it seems like several big brands and retailers are feeling it too because so many stores are having major sales on summer styles this weekend.

Yes, 90% off! If you’re looking to add some cute new summer dresses to your wardrobe ahead of the season, there’s no better time to shop than now.
