When I was little I refused to wear pants….. like ever. If I had to wear pants, I would only wear leggings. Even when I climbed the tree in my back yard to sing show tunes, I was wearing a dress—hey I had to look good while I was performing. Dresses were my true love. Even back then they made my heart skip a beat. I felt feminine and free. They were the only piece of clothing that I thought looked beautiful on everyone. As I grew up I never cared if I was the only one in the room wearing a dress, or I looked too girly, or if I looked too dressed up, it was out of the question–I was wearing a dress. My heaven would look like rows and rows of dresses for me to wear everyday, along with endless amounts of chocolate and champagne.
Fast forwarded to now and I am still head over heels for dresses. They make me feel so feminine, put together, confident, and more myself. What I love most about dresses, it is where I feel the most comfortable wearing different styles. I was shopping a few weeks ago at Nordstrom and I saw this Alice + Olivia dress beautifully hanging on the rack. I picked it up and placed it on my body as if I was wearing it. This dress, with the pattern and gold/blue coloring, is so beautiful. I knew I had to have it! I didn’t buy it right then and there, but a week later I bought it online because I could not stop thinking about it. It is a dress that I know will become a go-to piece for me. I paired it over a white collar button up for a more casual look and for a great transitional outfit into Spring, but take the white button up away and I could wear this to any evening event.
Having different style dresses is a must for me. I want to change things up when I am in a mood for a pattern, a bright color, or stay with classic black. But no matter what dress I wear, I know how I will feel–confident, girly, and myself.
