I have a lot of dresses. I didn’t realise how many dresses I had until a friend asked if she could borrow a dress to wear to a wedding. When she saw my collection she said ‘I want your wardrobe.’ Truth is, I love my wardrobe too, but there are a few styles that I always gravitate to when it comes to my weekly outfit selections. In fact there are seven dresses on high rotation in my wardrobe that faithfully flatter and give me confidence when I haven’t had the usual excitement about what I wear.
This last week I haven’t really cared what I’ve put on. I usually enjoy creating new outfits from the clothes in my wardrobe, but this week, I didn’t have time nor the mind power to create something new.
A mix of exhaustion, dealing with sick kids, not being able to connect to the internet and trying to meet work deadlines took away my motivation to put any effort into my appearance.
We all have weeks and days like that. There is nothing wrong at all about not caring what you wear. Even stylists can get into a rut.
But the best thing about having a well-organised and stocked wardrobe is during those down times, I can be confident that what I put on will flatter as I’ve made some good clothing purchases.
I’ve noticed this year I have reverted to some classic and favourite styles which has lead me to write this post, sharing the 7dress styles I’ve had on high rotation this summer.
I’ve included where you can get similar styles from if you think these pieces will add value to your wardrobe.
This year, my focus is not on acquiring more clothes, but wearing what I own more, hence the introduction of my hashtag #repeatedmystyle.
After an analysis of my Instagram account, here are seven dresses on high rotation in my wardrobe. Maybe you have some of these in your possession? Or you could see the benefit of having a particular style if you don’t own it… yet.
