Nothing could be as simple, easy, or effortless as slipping into a dress. I just love dresses for that reason. Don’t get me wrong, accessories play a big role too, but just one piece of clothing can take you from ho hum to chic. 

For example, back when I first got married (almost 8 years ago) I exclusively wore dresses. On my honeymoon (a week spent in Disney World) with all the walking, heat, rides, swimming (they make great coverups), fancy dinners, etc. I was comfortable, pulled together and ready for anything. Today I don’t exclusively wear dresses, but they will always be a staple in my closet and a trick up my sleeve for looking pulled together and comfortable.

I purchased this Zara dress a few weeks ago (brand new) at one of my favorite local resale shops for less than $1! If you haven’t already, I would encourage you to check out your local thrift store. Not only do they have great prices, but a wide selection of name brands that you may not have access to where you live.
