1. A soft ribbed turtleneck dress so you'll feel up to your neck in gratitude when you spend all day looking polished *without* dress pants.
2. A cozy cutout dress for anyone who couldn't bare to look at their black jeans any longer. This doesn't come with a cape, but you get the picture.
3. A backless knit sweater dress to give your wardrobe a whole new twist: you're giving your pants a two week notice.
4. An off-the-shoulder fine knit dress, because you'll be able to wear this a hundred different ways: with tights, leggings, or even Those Who Must Not Be Named. Only when you're feeling desperate.
5. A thick velvety dress with a chic waist tie that'll ~pull you together~ in a minute flat whenever you're in a mid-morning crisis. Pull this over head. Fini.
6. A cinched cowl neck dress so you stay just as cozy as you were when wrapped in your blanket burrito. Leaving the house is 100% less scary when you have this.
7. A soft knit tunic dress for meeting you in the *middle* when you have to get ready for work, but can't bear to put on slacks. This + tights = win, win.
8. A super thick striped mini dress, because this'll snuggle you all darn day without letting you so much as shiver. Can sweats do this? NO.
9. An oversized wool-like turtleneck dress with POCKETS that'll make even winter winds shake with fear. I'd like to see snow pants keep us this warm.
10. A marled cinched dress so you can show up to work in something other than your onesie. I support it, but people are beginning to talk.
11. A plaid cowl neck dress for a look that screams "as if!" when confronted by the idea of wearing tight denim.
12. A colorblock turtleneck dress, because this'll feel like a big hug after a terrible week of wearing pants. This is here to comfort you.
13. A cashmere-like midi dress that'll say "I'm a professional" even if most of your bottoms are buried somewhere under your bed with the rest of your forgotten things.
14. A striped flared dress so you can win Best Dressed at the office without ever even thinking about wearing a suit.
15. A ribbed knit tank dress to layer over anything from your favorite T-shirt to sweater. Aka you'll think of a million combinations and never have to resort to boring tops again.
16. A fitted turtleneck dress for feeling impossibly comfy from the neck down, despite any *chilling* weather forecasts. This and thick tights > weak denim.
17. A knit midi dress, because this'll call it a wrap on ever dealing with disappointing bottoms again. Why dwell on the past when you can win style AND comfort?
18. A fluffy V-neck dress that'll ~soften~ the blow of facing freezing winter mornings. You'll barely notice the transition between this and your fleece pajamas.
19. A simple turtleneck dress so you can rely on a basic that won't ever go out of style. It's you two against the world now. Feel free to toss all pants out the window.
20. A plush chenille dress for the ultimate feeling of luxury every time you wear this. I'd like to see your jeans mimic a cozy blanket.
21. A belted knit dress, because this'll quickly become your one-and-done option whenever you go out at night. Can it be? A snug night look? I'll pass the tissues.
22. An off-the-shoulder ribbed dress that'll help you shrug off any worries about not dressing warmly enough. Feeling cold is CANCELLED.
23. A buttoned scoop neck tunic so you have a reliable staple that's perfect over the only bottoms we'll tolerate: leggings.
24. A textured mock-neck dress for an option you'll never ~flake~ on, especially the moment you realize how great life is when you don't want to rip your outfit off the minute you get home.
25. A layered tunic dress with trendy elbow patches, because this'll work well into spring while it's still cold. Meaning: you never have to go back to high-waisted jeans again.
26. A twisted rib knit dress that'll make your slacks go green with envy when they realize this is about to become your new best friend.
27. A soft bodycon midi dress so you don't feel ~ruffled~ every time you need to look extra polished at work.
28. A striped below-the-knee knit dress for making anyone who disagrees with us *read between the lines*: you can still look sophisticated without owning a pantsuit.
29. A buttoned long-sleeved dress, because this'll stick by your side no matter how cold the night gets. Did your leather leggings ever do this? I DON'T THINK SO.
30. A lace-up V-neck dress that'll convince everyone to take your side once they catch on to your trendy upgrade.
31. A striped ribbed pencil dress so you can make it clear to all your bottoms that they're on thin ice. In fact, you may just wear this all week. And that is totally fine.
32. A thick button-down cardigan dress with chic pearl buttons for looking like an impeccable adult, despite your lack of pinstripe trousers. I think the battle is clearly won.
