My name is Erica and I’m your typical 26 year old, but I only wear dresses. Yes, I ONLY wear dresses.
About 2 years ago, I realized I had fallen victim to the “corporate” world and was wearing the same drab pants and skirts with blasé blouses. I was bored with my clothing and never looked forward to getting dressed the morning. I lost my passion for fashion. So, in an effort to add a little color to the corporate world, I kicked my closet up-a-notch and went on a hunt for some colorful, girly, feminine pieces. What happened - I only bought dresses.
You see, I’ve always owned dresses, but they were for special occasions like semi-formals and weddings. I never tried on dresses when casually shopping. In fact, I never seemed to notice them. It was like the proverbial “veil” was lifted from my eyes and I only saw dresses. I can say with full confidence, I never truly appreciated the power of a great every day dress until I bought those first few dresses. That was the beginning of the end. I had a new passion for fashion. I loved the way a dress made me feel – feminine and original. It was exciting to dress up and dress down a dress with a pair of bright tights, shoes or a patent leather belt. For once in a long time, I was excited to get up in the morning and get dressed.
From that moment on, I’ve only worn dresses or occasionally skirts. Both my closet and I have slowly transformed into a “dresses only” zone. I still own button-up shirts, blouses and pants, but the pants are now in the back of my closet taking up valuable space. Just to be clear…I do wear pants to work out and when traveling, but I haven’t put on a pair of pants, including jeans, to go anywhere other than the gym or airport.
After much encouragement from friends, I’ve decided to start a blog to document my days wearing dresses. Where this blog will go, I can’t say for sure, but I am hoping it breathes new life into the girls who are bored with their everyday wardrobe and looking to add some color to their world.
