Saying that I like to dress up would be the understatement of the year. Most days, I'm fully dressed (even when working from home) in heels and a dress, not to mention jewelry and accessories, by 9 a.m. if not earlier. Because of that, my standards for dresses have become quite high, and comfort, style, versatility, and more all factor into my buying decisions in the dress department.

Lately, though, I've started to get bored of the dresses in my current rotation, leading me to look elsewhere for new styles to add to my repertoire. Many hours and what felt like 10,000 dresses later, I narrowed down my search to just 39 options. Keep scrolling to shop the best summer dresses that have my extremely hard-to-secure stamp of approval.
