I could consider doing this myself except my shape doesn’t do as well with dresses (unless the fact I spend a huge no. of hours in a 10 year old t-shirt nighty which is dress like?) I wear the same jean skirt and as tops are allowed with your dresses this seems kinda my way of doing it, but I’d like to take it further somehow but I don’t know how given I wear so little to start with.

The first thought I got was to stake a bold reality claim that this is how I live, same old jean skirt (one forback up but ocd girl doesn’t like change so it’s pristine) So the next thought I had was, once again embracing the “if you have to coats give one” at your inspiration, I threw myself into my closet and rabidly pulled with honest abandon, what I know I will never get the nerve to wear, or what is not “me” even if it fits and so on, saving one dislike dress set just in case I have to attend a funearl. I managed to get one big kitchen trash bag ready for donation and a box of clothes ready to send a friend who is short on money and slightly smaller than I so they’ll fit my “last size” things…I’m also trying to think for someone like me, a “one dress” might be morphed into “one book”…not exactly one book a month, but only ready from my collection I already own. Baby steps.

For those of us who have bodies that change (read women? mama? perimenopasal diva’s?) I find it works best for me, to have my staple skirts or in your case it might be the cute layering dress you are exibiting, and then combo items. I find it easier to work out a “style” with newer fun trendy things bought cheapy and in small numbers, from say Target, or Old Navy…a good coat and shoes go far. Since I am very hard on my clothes (I stain, I’m a food dropping fool and you can guess where it lands) so they only “live” for a year or so, but then I don’t have to hold on to them forever like those “classics” that are pricey. Also my hint to you if you don’t do it already, esp in your green dress venture…get YOSELF or in your case, whip up yourself (bet you have one already) a good high coverage apron. Mama-ing and being a wifey are callings that just LOVE an apron. You save your clothes like you won’t believe. Notice how our formama’s wore them? Preferably whole front cover one’s. Wise women protect their clothes. And food dropping Susan finds I can just eat dinner with it too. It is NOT a bib, is it?
Love what you are doing. Keep on!
