Question: What is the one thing that you cannot have enough of in your wardrobe. Some people may answer “yes” to a pair of great jeans or shoes. However, I have always loved dresses. Whatever season, I love dresses. While I love to have a new dress, there is a limit to the number of dresses you can own. You have to be able edit down a collection of dresses if you don’t want to own every style.
In this vein, I spent hours scrolling through Instagram to find some dresses that were worth the investment. The popularity of each style, its versatility, longevity, and ease of fitting into any wardrobe were the key factors in determining its worthiness. No matter if you are a modest dresser, or a dresser for special occasions, there will be at least one dress that you love.
