1. A tie-waist maxi dress because winter is gone, flowers are blooming, and nothing — NOTHING — screams springtime happiness quite like a maxi dress can.
2. A knotted dress featuring stripes, a teeny tiny cutout, and a super soft material that feels like a combination of clouds, cotton candy, and your favorite probably-from-TJ Maxx blanket.
3. A faux button cami dress bound to suffer the same fate as your favorite jeans or your softest tee. In other words, this WILL be worn all 👏 the 👏 time 👏.
4. An open-shoulder bodycon dress for when you've been invited to a champagne-sipping event, but your budget is more like a $2 beer special. This little number may look expensive — but shh, thankfully it's not.
5. An A-line lace dress you'll want to pack for your next vacation. Consider this the perfect ensemble for that ~going out to a fancy-ish dinner and therefore can't wear leggings~ Saturday night.
6. A keyhole maxi dress that has "my sister will steal this from my closet while I'm at work" written all over it. Pro tip: Hide this in your underwear drawer. Unless your sister is known to rummage through that, too.
7. A swing dress featuring ruffles, polka dots, and a very strong spring vibe.
8. A fitted V-neck dress because I need a vacation, and this exudes some serious "just book it" vibes. You + warm weather + iPhone portrait mode + this dress = Instagram perfection. Sounds shallow, but I know you're thinking the same thing.
9. A cami dress featuring the print of choice this season: florals! Such a new and revolutionary pattern, and I'm sure you don't already have it in your closet.
10. A basic t-shirt dress you can hypothetically wear 365 days a year. Pair this with some statement jewelry, your favorite booties, and BAM! You're now both comfortable and stylish, and it took about 0% effort to get you there.
11. A mini dress I should have on my body right now, preferably as I stroll along a boardwalk with an iced coffee in my hand and sun-lightened highlights in my hair. Yet here I am, freezing in my office with a blanket poncho wrapped around my shoulders for warmth. The unfairness of it all.
12. A t-shirt dress that must be the child of Christmas because this is here to bring you tidings of comfort and JOY. This cozy maxi is the perfect thing to throw on and is *super* easy to dress up.
13. A pleated cocktail dress ideal for every ~we're all going out~ event you have coming up this month. Birthday dinner? Karaoke nights? Dreaded high school reunions? Get ready to slay 'em all.
14. A simple off-the-shoulder dress with a high-low hem, which means it's slightly longer in the back. Who's going to spend the night fearing that their underwear is saying peek-a-boo? Not you!
15. A knit maxi dress with over a thousand positive reviews on Nordstrom. No small feat! Plus, this pretty little number has adjustable straps that let you customize your fit. #win
16. A ruffled mermaid dress you probably shouldn't wear to a wedding because a) it's white, and b) you'd outshine the bride. Said bride will have spent thousands of dollars on her ensemble, while you'll have spent less than $40 and YOUR gorgeous dress would catch more eyes.
17. A babydoll mini dress made from a lightweight material that won't stick to your skin the *second* a hint of humidity hits. Hallelujah for fabrics that don't cling to even the sweatiest parts of your body.
