1. A maxi cutout dress I've been drooling over since it was announced that I could make plans outside once again. Rocking this stunner anywhere from dinner to the beach shall be on my agenda from now until the end of time.
2. A satin spaghetti strap dress designed to be worn for both classy and casual affairs alike. We suggest adding a blazer and shirt for another 'fit option that disguises itself as a skirt on breezier nights.
3. An enchanting halter-neck maxi that, once placed on your bod, is guaranteed to stop you in your tracks anytime you catch a glimpse of your reflection.
4. A lightweight striped ruffle-sleeved dress featuring roomy pockets, a scooped neckline, and breathable fabric — the type of alliance you'll want on a day of picture-taking and sightseeing in your own city.
5. A spaghetti-strapped skater dress gorgeously designed with lace details and the type of good fortune one will need when they've snoozed one too many times and have 10 minutes to get ready.
6. A T-shirt dress just begging to be added to your comfy chic collection. And I spy a crisscross hem, meaning its fancier than a baggy ol' concert tee but is *just* as cozy as one.
7. A V-neck maxi so fabulous, you'll wonder how your gold strappy sandals lived so long without this match made in heaven. Because if your accessories used dating apps, they'd swipe right on this again and again.
8. A belted cotton button-up dress ready to take you from your errands to happy hour comfortably and oh-so stylishly. Aka it's time to upgrade that night shirt, the same one you wore to bed yesterday that may have joined you on your to-dos today...
9. A gorgeous off-shoulder dress with subtle floral cutouts, that'll feel like finding a pot of gold when you've got somewhere to be that requires you to look put together in temps that are best described as "sweaty."
10. An open-back number waiting to accompany you on your next jet-setting adventure. And if you don't have one planned just yet, we think sitting in this strewn across a sunlounger (aka throne) in your backyard will suffice.
11. A deep V-neck dress considered a staple by moi for celebrating anything from another trip around the sun to a promotion at your job. TBH, a pay raise never looked so damn good.
12. A subtle zebra print strappy silhouette in a luxurious brown hue that exudes I'm going out to a tasting menu dinner energy.
13. A tie-front dress if you're someone who simply cannot wait to strip off any and all of your layers once you feel that sunny heat. This colorful poly-cotton blend will keep you cool and looking put together in mere seconds.
14. An ever-reliant wrap dress which takes the guesswork out of getting ready when you're just not feeling your current closet picks. This beaut mimics the feeling of a perfectly formed hug, plus the long sleeves make it ideal for restaurants where the AC is blowing beyond belief.
15. A tie-strap dress featuring a fitted bodice and trumpet skirt that might literally be the epitome of summer in one dreamy silhouette. And if you didn't think it could get any better, the sweetheart neckline on this illustrious gem makes it strapless-bra friendly.
16. A cotton puff-sleeve dress with a sweetheart tie-up back that's giving me the sudden urge to scour Airbnb, grab my closest friends, and book a stay at a fancy farmhouse cottage.
17. A tie-front T-shirt dress if casual meets chic is your aesthetic for any outdoor endeavor. Because even though you're out and about — if pandemic fashion taught us anything — it's that comfort is *queen*.
18. A pleated off-shoulder midi dress designed with flouncy bouncy fabric that moves with you and will never feel constricting. We predict this being your go-to uniform for weddings, summertime dates, or maybe even just to run errands in.
19. An off-shoulder ruffle dress that's both comfortable *and* elegant for all-day, formal occasions where you know you're going to either be standing, sitting, or dancing for longgg periods of time.
20. A ruffly capped sleeve dress featuring a high neck and the kind of sophistication that pulls through when you've got places to be but "nothing to wear."
21. A pastel shell ruffle style that I can't wait to ~sea~ make an appearance in your next OOTD dump. Because this type of beauty is something we predict a modern day (and incredibly stylish) Ariel would post about nonstop.
22. An off-shoulder maxi dress ideal for when you have no clue what to wear to your SO's best friend's girlfriend's birthday. Throw this on with some sandals and your favorite statement earrings and you've got a sophisticated 'fit that took you zero time to piece together.
23. A smocked ruche number designed to be paired with a glass of white peach sangria and a seat at your favorite people-watching spot.
24. A flowy empire-waist dress accompanied by pockets so you can look polished while stuffing your ChapStick and cash away, sans heavy handbag.
25. A leopard print maxi slip dress destined to serve as your fashionable date to every cocktail hour or girls night out planned for the foreseeable future.
26. A smocked maxi available in a bunch of patterns that, depending on your mood, will look Insta-worthy with both slides *and* heels. And the wide adjustable straps mean it's bra-friendly too!
27. A printed wrap dress perfect paired with wedges, pumps, and sandals (or sneakers if you carry a spare pair in your car after an evening on your feet #me).
28. A lantern sleeve dress with adjustable shoulders and a darling tie-up back that will make you feel like the belle of the ball — even if "the ball" happens to be a housewarming at your new neighbors' apartment.
29. A V-neck maxi dress created with peek-a-boo cutouts, an elasticized waist, and the sort of sophistication that will make every entrance an incredibly glamorous one.
30. A stretchy twist cutout dress that gives the illusion of being a matching skirt and top combo, but surprise! It's just one comfy chic silhouette that's perfect to replace your coordinated sweat set.
31. A Good American mock turtleneck dress featuring a high slit and the type of elegance one might find on a yacht sailing across Monaco. A lot of us can't make it on said yacht, so may we suggest taking this number out on a date night instead?
32. A drape-y spaghetti-strap midi dress we foresee taking you from morning to night so comfortably that you might even forget that you're wearing anything!
33. A bronze-colored wrap dress that will gladly attend any and all outdoor weddings with you. And thanks to its delightfully breezy material, it won't leave you stewing in the heat if you're sat in an area sans shady canopy.
