For as long as I can remember I have been obsessed with dresses. When I was young my mom sewed all of my clothes and outfitted me in the beautiful dresses she made. Growing up, while others were more comfortable in pants, I gravitated towards dresses at almost every occasion. In college, I was forced to shop for pants on the rare occasions I couldn't wear a dress. While some of my friends were stressed when they had to dress up, I was stressed when I attended events that required dressing down.
There is something about wearing the right dress that can lift your mood and change the tone of your day. As I look back to certain milestones in my life I often think of them in terms of a dress I wore. Each dress triggers a memory and tells its own story. The first dance I attended: a bright red, knee length dress. My first date: a flowery dress that flowed to the floor. The prom: a black, embroidered dress with matching elbow length gloves. I have saved a number of my all time favorite dresses and given away many others. There are a few I have continued to wear year after year ... like good friends, I have always been able to rely on them. Timeless and classic, they have never let me down.
