EDITOR'S NOTE
For many, it’s peak wedding season. If navigating dress codes and gift-giving feels like a head-scratcher, keep reading. Today we’re covering tried-and-true outfit options and next week, our editors will share some of their go-to gifts. And since you’ve got a wedding happening every other weekend this summer, all of these dresses are budget-friendly and cute enough to wear more than once.

Take Note
Even though there’s plenty of summer left, we all know the back-to-school excitement that calls for fresh notebooks, an insane amount of stickers, and highlighters in every color. To get ready, we’re building out our home office with some of Adobe’s must-have apps. Here are a couple of staples to take note of:
40% off 12 months of Adobe’s Creative Cloud until August 4.
Adobe Express, our favorite app for design beginners.
Photoshop, a classic for editing photos.
Acrobat Pro, for editing and signing PDFs with ease.
