Spring into spring - in a dress!

Spring is around the corner - so break out your dresses! I know your legs have been hiding all fall and winter behind opaque tights. And they very well may be a ghostly shade of pale -- but try to forget it. Slather on the self tanner and let's go dress shopping.

I love dresses -- I just don't wear them often enough. I used to live in skirts and dresses before you could easily find long inseams in jeans and pants. It was either dresses and skirts or floods for this gal.

Dresses are actually very easy to wear and often very comfortable. Layer a dress with a cardigan, denim jacket or leather jacket and you need not worry about a chill. Dress up with heels, down with flats, in between with wedges.

But always always, did I say always? Avoid a tight all over look. Unless you are 17 and can make it look cute, or have an extremely sassy affair to attend, a bandage dress is not a safe or wise choice.

While browsing for spring dresses I had a colorful print in mind. But, I am always a sucker for color blocking, especially with a cool color combo like charcoal and coral.  Throw in the pleats and I was sold.  A nude or beige shoe is a given for spring and I LOVE this textile T-strap sandal from Aldo.  Perfect! Grab a gold necklace, coral handbag, and mother of pearl bracelet (a super sale by the way) and you are ready to turn some heads.
