1. A polka dot number you can throw on quickly on a Saturday morning when you told your friends you'd meet them for brunch at 12, but you accidentally slept till 11:30. Whoops!
2. A vintage-inspired cocktail dress that's appropriate for basically everything – from work, to a wedding, to a date night. Yeah, it's that versatile.
3. A ruffle bodycon with an off-the-shoulder detail to make you feel oh-so confident.
4. A bodycon midi that's anything but basic. Throw this on with some heels or sneakers and a jean jacket, and you'll feel so put together.
5. A floral swing dress designed to make you feel like a million bucks...even though it only costs as much as two fancy cocktails.
6. A v-neck lace number you'll be feeling yourself in all night long.
7. A tie-front dress – you could tell your friend where you got it when she asks, or you could simply say, "Sorry, my hands are ~tied~".
8. A patterned swing dress with more than 2,000 five-star reviews because it really is THAT amazing.
9. An off-the-shoulder maxi designed to make you feel like you're walking a runway when you're really just walking down the street. Just imagine it blowing in the breeze as you strut, not walk.
10. A tie-neck cocktail dress with fun ruffle detailing because it's totally okay to love cheap ~frills~.
11. A lace halter mini dress you'll want to wear to every wedding you're invited to this summer.
12. A patterned skater dress that basically requires you have an epic adventure while wearing it.
13. A simple cocktail dress you'll wear for years because it truly will not go out of style.
14. A maxi dress with pockets (!!) because there really isn't a better feature for dress than pockets. Where else am I supposed to store my phone, my lip balm, and the random receipts I should probably just throw away?!?
15. A v-neck tie one people will probably think you got from some fancy boutique.
16. A hoodie dress so comfortable, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
17. A simple dress you can wear off-the-shoulder or not, because options are great.
18. A floral embroidered cocktail dress so beautiful, you'll want to be invited to more weddings and formal events so you can wear it again. (You say "outfit repeater" like it's a bad thing...)
19. A patterned midi you'll force your friend to take your picture in immediately because this deserves a prominent place in your Insta grid.
20. A chiffon tunic you can wear with or without a belt, so that's basically two dresses in one.
21. A color-block sheath dress – you'll feel like a true professional and a badass when you wear it. Nobody will hold you back in this.
22. A button-up maxi to wear when it's just too hot to think about putting on real clothes. Yes, technically this dress is "real clothes," but you know what I mean.
23. A sleeveless gown you'll be able to dance in ALL. NIGHT. LONG.
24. A belted pencil dress that looks great on its own in the summer and then again in the fall with a sweater and boots.
25. A floral maxi dress you'll really ~bloom~ in.
26. A vintage style that'll make you feel like you're in an episode of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Midge would be so proud.
27. A porcelain print dress because you outfit deserves to be just as interesting as you are.
28. A v-neck spaghetti strap number that will hug your bod and make you feel amazing.
29. A halter mini just begging you to take it on a tropical vacation—or a local beach or pool if a tropical vacay just isn't in your budget right now.
30. A t-shirt dress I believe everyone should have in their closet because it's simple, cute, and practical.
31. A halter that looks great and costs under $10. Wait, what? Excuse me, I need to go add this to my cart immediately.
32. A halter mini dress perfect for that festival you've been counting down the days until.
33. A bandage fishtail dress so you can ~o-fish-illy~ be named "best dressed" this summer. It's about time!
34. A swing dress – wear it on its own or put a t-shirt underneath it for when you need a little more coverage.
35. A lace fit and flare people will love so much – don't be surprised if you're asked where you got it about 10 times when you wear it.
36. A tie-dye maxi because tie-dye is back in a big way, and THIS is how you rock it.
37. A polka-dot midi dress you'll love so much, you might as well buy a couple so you can wear 'em more often.
38. A high-low dress you can throw on with sandals so you can be cute yet comfy during that summer BBQ.
39. A ruffle one-shoulder number made of a scuba-material so it won't wrinkle no matter how long you sit in it.
40. A color block tunic you'll wear all the time – you won't care if people start to notice, because it just looks *that good* on.
41. A slit dress that'll really ~maxi-mize~ your style without your having to try super hard.
42. A tulle gown you'll feel like Cinderella in, without, you know, the whole "having to be home by midnight" thing. That curfew is a drag.
43. An off-the-shoulder maxi dress that'll have you blasting Lizzo and saying, "No, I'm not a snack at all. Look, baby, I'm the whole damn meal".
44. A striped pencil dress appropriate for a corporate environment, especially in the summer when it's 90 degrees outside but approximately -20 in the office.
45. And a bell-sleeve dress to ~shift~ you idea about wearing anything other than dresses. They're so great, who needs pants?
