If you know me well, you know that I adore dresses. I couldn't be happier that it is finally warming up here in the Midwest, so I can rotate in all my lovely dresses. If you happen to walk into my closet you will see loads of frocks in all sorts of fabrics, lengths, and cuts. I have wrap dresses, shifts, sun dresses, maxi, midi and mini dresses, long dresses and A-line dresses; you would also locate some tunics with full skirts, sheath dresses and sports and tank dresses for playing with my kiddos. My swimming suit is even a dress! 

When my husband and I first start dating, he actually asked me if I ever wore pants. I did, in the winter, because it is very cold here in Chicago. But at that time I literally only owned one pair of jeans. Today, my closet is full of dresses.

Karl Lagerfeld: “One is never overdressed or underdressed with a little black dress.”

I really do not feel as if dresses need to be saved for formal occasions. I truly love to wear dresses all the time because they make me feel very feminine, and dresses just make everyday all the more special. I remember I was visiting my brother last year and he lives in a very rural area. I happened to have stopped in a little mom ad pop grocery and an older lady stopped to ask me why I was so dressed up.  I replied that I wore dresses everyday because that is what my grandmother did. She told me I had inspired her to wear a dress the next day. I really hope that she did.

Here are a few of my reasons to wear a dress:

Simplicity

I would much rather reach into my closet and grab one simple, casual dress than have to mull over putting an entire outfit together. That is my secret, my love for dresses. I can pair a dress with a variety of shoes. One simple dress can be changed up simply by a different pair of shoes or even boots.

Feminine

As I noted above, I feel very feminine when I wear a dress. I adore being a women and see nothing wrong with wearing a dress every single day and letting everyone else know that I adore being a woman. Dress like a lady, and you will be treated like one as well, as my grandmother used to tell me. Since I was a little girl, I have loved dresses and I think that is not likely to change.

Flattering

There are so many styles of dresses available to day. Didn't I just state that my closet is overflowing with all the different frocks I own? When shopping for a new frock, be sure to know what dress is best for your body and select a frock that flatters you.  A great place to shop for frocks and locate the best styles for your figure is eShakti. eShakti.com is an online women's fashion apparel company offering custom frocks in sizes 0-36W.
