I love dresses

I can’t wear jeans. I have three pairs and wear a pair maybe once a month, in the hope that somehow I will look good in them or feel comfortable in them. Neither ever works out.

Because I’m not a jeans person. I’m a dress (and sometimes skirt) person. I love dresses. I would seriously benefit from a walk-in wardrobe, because I have too many dresses to fit properly in the one we share. Chris’s suits have gradually been squeezed out and out until he has almost no space in there at all, but even so I still need more room.

I love to wear dresses out (on the rare occasion when I get to go out), but I also love to wear dresses all the time – on the school run, at my desk, out to the shops. Dresses are for all the time, not just for special occasions!

I have two lengths of dresses that I like – shorter skater-style dresses and maxi dresses. I can’t and I almost always need to have a scoop or V-neck, otherwise I feel very constrained. (Though I do have one dress with a high top that I love, so it’s not a total deal breaker!)

I found a few dresses I like over at Kandco.com, and they have loads more, as well as lots of other clothes and home furnishings.

Shorter skater-style dresses

I love skating and got some new roller blades recently (thank you, Mama!) and I always have to wear a short dress with leggings or two pair of tights. I love the way a skater dress twirls and flies out when I’m zooming (not that I can zoom as fast as some of the skaters there) round the hall.

These dresses are great for day-to-day wear, too, as it’s easy to sit cross-legged to read to the girls, or sit on my bouncy exercise ball working. And they look great with boots (I just ordered a gorgeous pair of boots which should arrive any day now), as well as the flat shoes I wear most of the time.

Here are a few that I like:

Maxi dresses

I have always, always, always loved full-length dresses. Dresses that you risk tripping over when going up stairs (not that I like actually tripping over, of course). Dresses that swish as you walk. They are wonderful for going out and special occasions like weddings and big parties, but I’m not averse to wearing one on the school run, either. (Though they can be problematic going up the hill, and I end up having to hold them up while going up the really steep bits and steps.)

Here are a few that I like:

Are you a dress person? Can you wear jeans? What’s your favourite kind of dress?
