27 Pretty Dresses For A One-And-Done Ensemble
A floral mini dress if you've gotta look really cute, really fast. Or perhaps have known about your weekend trip for six months, but waited 60 minutes before you leave to start packing. This is a sure bet!
A showstopping colorful print dress that'll be the perfect, cheerful piece to wear after you got a weird sunburn on your upper thighs and they just need to breathe.
A moisture-wicking sleeveless workout dress because I don't know about you, but I'm seeing more and more people wearing sweat-wicking workout gear on the reg while doing errands. So you'll likely reach for this super often. AND it has a few secrets...pocketed shorts underneath and a built-in bra!
A drawstring bodycon dress with some major versatility — you can adjust the drawstring for the perfect length and look, then throw all kinds of outerwear over it as needed. (I own it in black and wear it at least once a week — including to a club in Havana!)
A ladylike polka-dot number that tbh you could wear to brunch with your great-aunt. But it also has accommodating stretch, barely wrinkles, and will look so nice in any photos where you wanna look fab but don't wanna upstage your surroundings.
A wrap dress can let ya show lots of leg while you sip an aeperol spritz at a cafe. 'Tis the season!
A long-sleeve boho dress to help you realize your easy-breezy style.
A one-shouldered frock prime for that early-June wedding you've got on your schedule where you'll see a ton of old college buds and, therefore, will have a horde of pics from it after.
A knee-length halter dress available in a range of colors and prints so you'll probably wanna snag a few for all kinds of seasonal photo ops.
A tie-strap beaut in an ankle-grazing length for those moments when you've GOTTA stoop down and play with a puppy. This has you covered.
A *pocketed* maxi will be super easy to wear, even if your plans for the day is to just roll around on the floor with the puppy. (Yeah I'm bringing up the puppy again. Am I invited?)
A halter-neck sundress in a maxi silhouette and a variety of patterns to help elevate your grand entrance — even if it's just popping in the store to buy some TP.
A striped cap sleeve midi — it might be the next best (and comfiest) thing to wearing a night gown out and about.
A floral maxi dress can satisfy the Debbie Jellinsky part of your personal style. (Joan Cusack is such an icon in Addams Family Values).
An easy, breezy patchwork mini dress to wear when you need to look cute but want the least amount of fabric possible touching your skin. (Aka, most summer days.)
A chic mini dress that reviewers say is lightweight and breathable, so it'll prob end up in the top of your rotation.
A linen-blend dress with an oversized fit, wide-scoop neck, and POCKETS, so you'll probably want a few for the season.
A versatile tiered maxi dress to layer with your longer-sleeve tops so you can comfortably sit in your chilly office.
A belted ruffled dress will help cut back on the math you have to do to figure out if a top will tuck neatly into a skirt. This gives you that look for half the effort.
A colorful print in your choosing — there are 23 of 'em! — with a peekaboo keyhole at the bust for a lil' extra something something.
A tiger-print dress passersby will assume you bought on a luxurious, tropical vacation. Go ahead. Let 'em assume. But then if they ask, be super helpful and point them to this Etsy shop chock full of dresses in glorious prints.
A linen babydoll dress you can have custom-made to fit your measurements. Plus, that super cute low back will be the perfect excuse to go bra-less. Life is short. Bra bands are too tight.
A cherry-picked frock in case you need yet another '90s-inspired thing in your closet. Yes, yes you do need it. Trust me, I bought it two summers ago and have worn it at least a dozen times since.
An airy nap dress I own and plan to wear as much as possible. It's super easy to adjust the puff sleeves from on- to off-the-shoulder to fit your mood.
A casual striped option with some ruffled sleeves to make it feel a bit special but not super dressy. We're keeping it casual rn.
A flared vintage-inspired dress you'll wanna buy after your next Hairspray rewatch...which is always a great idea.

Gen Z diners tripped up by common menu pricing abbreviation — and wind up slapped with $160 bill
Talk about a pricey 'POV.' Three Gen Z sisters got a not-so-tasty surprise when they ordered steak at a coastal North Carolina restaurant — only to realize too late what 'MKT' on the menu actually meant. Spoiler: it doesn't mean 'Marked down' — it means 'market price.' Advertisement In a TikTok video that's racked up more than 19 million views, Aribella Menold, 20, and her siblings shared their shock after ordering dinner at Moonrakers, a white-tablecloth waterfront joint in Beaufort. 'POV: You didn't know what 'mkt' meant on the steak menu and now you're paying for it,' the caption read as the camera panned to their stunned expressions and the $159.14 bill. The sisters had unknowingly racked up a hefty tab that included two 12 oz New York strip steaks for $52 each, a $28 baby kale Caesar salad with an extra $11 for grilled chicken, a $10 kid's grilled cheese and a $3 Sprite — proving once and for all that even salads can be a financial ambush. Advertisement Their subtotal came to $145 with a 3% credit card surcharge that added an additional $4.35 and the 6.75% sales tax tacked on another $9.79. 'We thought the price was going to be like $20-$30,' Menold told Newsweek. Turns out, 'MKT' is restaurant shorthand for 'market price,' a cryptic code used for items that fluctuate based on availability, seasonality and ingredient cost — usually seafood or steak. In other words: if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it. Advertisement Menold's video, originally posted to Instagram and then to TikTok, blew up overnight. Luckily for the sisters, their wallets were spared the full damage. 'Our grandpa ended up paying for it, which was so sweet of him,' Menold explained to the outlet. The sisters unknowingly feasted their way to a fat bill totaling $160. Aribella_Menold/TikTok But the internet had thoughts — and no shortage of them. Advertisement '$160 is not bad if you divide the bill by three, each person pays 53 dollars which is good,' one commenter shrugged. Another gasped, 'That's like 53-55$ each girl is spending on dinner. That's wild tbh.' Others zeroed in on the leafy green culprit: 'Okay but a salad being 28 dollar [s] is diabolical.' Still, some blamed the staff for not stepping in: 'Honestly shame on your server for not informing you of the price when it's clearly not listed. One complaint and all of my old bosses would have ripped me a new one for not informing the guest and probably make me pay out of pocket for it.' A separate TikTok user offered this sage advice: 'Unless you're rich, don't buy items off a menu if they don't have a price.' Lesson learned: when dining out, always ask the price — or bring your grandpa. As The Post previously reported, a whistleblowing ex-staffer at California's now-closed Automat claimed those feel-good 'living wage' fees slapped on your bill are nothing but a tip-toeing façade. Advertisement 'If you see a restaurant charging a 'cost of living,' 'equal pay' or 'mandatory service fee' like the 20% this restaurant did, be suspicious,' Jordan Smith explained in an Instagram story post shared by Eater San Francisco. 'It's possible the back-of-house teams aren't seeing much of that money,' he continued regarding the non-server crew. Meanwhile, a ticked-off diner went viral last month after posting a receipt showing a mandatory 'living wage fee' — and the internet lost its appetite. Turns out 'MKT' is just fancy menu-speak for 'market price' — a slippery little code used for steaks, seafood and other dishes that change with the tides and the supply chain. nicoletaionescu – Advertisement Tipping rules may differ coast to coast, but here in NYC, the law's pretty clear: 'Restaurants cannot charge a surcharge or other fee in addition to listed food or beverage prices,' per the city's Consumer and Worker Protection rules. However, they can 'charge a bona fide service charge — but only if the charge is conspicuously disclosed to consumers before food is ordered.'

Teen goes viral after bringing 200 tortillas on flight from Texas: ‘Just went on through'
A teenager recently went viral after she showed an unusual dedication to a popular Texas grocery chain and its tortillas. Nashville resident Anna Jones recently boarded a flight from Austin to Tennessee with an unconventional cargo: She had over 200 flour tortillas from H-E-B with her. Jones recorded other people boarding the plane, then confessed her secret to the internet in a video on June 14. 'All these people and no one knows I have 200 H-E-B tortillas in my backpack,' Jones wrote on TikTok. Fox News Digital reached out to Jones for more details. Jones revealed to USA Today that hauling tortillas long-distance is something of a family tradition. The last time she visited her dad in Texas, he bought as many as 300 tortillas for her to bring home, Jones said. 4 Jones recorded other people boarding the plane, then confessed her secret to the internet in a video on June 14. Brent Hofacker – 'We bring them home, and we can freeze them, and we just use them until they run out,' the teen said. 'They normally last about two months.' She also noted that Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents didn't give her a hard time with her flatbread-filled backpack. 4 'All these people and no one knows I have 200 H-E-B tortillas in my backpack,' Jones wrote on TikTok. Annathecolassaltitan/TikTok 'I just went on through,' Jones told USA Today. She added, 'Nothing happened. It was pretty obvious that it was tortillas. This is kind of normal for them, I guess.' Some Texans on TikTok couldn't resist poking fun at Jones' video, which has been viewed more than 668,000 times as of July 7. 4 The last time she visited her dad in Texas, he bought as many as 300 tortillas for her to bring home, Jones said. pilipphoto – One Lone Star State resident asked, 'Are YOU the reason why there's never any left at the store?!?' 'They better be the butter ones,' another said. It turns out that Jones isn't the only H-E-B fan who's gone to great lengths to travel with Texas tortillas. 'I flew with H-E-B tortillas and H-E-B goods from San Antonio to Amsterdam, then drove them to Belgium,' one person said. 4 'We bring them home, and we can freeze them, and we just use them until they run out,' the teen said. Annathecolassaltitan/TikTok 'I flew with H-E-B tortillas from San Antonio to Italy,' another chimed in. 'Tortillas [are] in my carry-on from San Antonio to Japan & the Philippines,' a third user wrote. H-E-B is a Texas-based supermarket chain with over 400 locations in the Lone Star State and Mexico. What makes H-E-B tortillas so good? The supermarket chain did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment — leaving the ingredients behind the tortillas' popularity a mystery.
