So, is it obvious yet that I’m obsessed with dresses? I think so. But if you can get past the old school idea that they aren’t for everyday wear, there’s really nothing better when it comes to comfort, versatility and of course, style. Think about it, you have just one piece to put on, you have way more ‘air conditioning’ than in a pair of shorts or pants and you always look put together even if you do nothing else but slip on some flats.
Another great feature of a dress is that with the addition of tights, a cardigan or jacket and even some boots, you’re ready for year round versatility. Today’s Staple, the Hand Dyed Boatneck Dress by RiordanRoache, is a perfect example of just such a piece.
