How # 1: Dressed
As you know, I’ve been really drawn to the dress-over-pants look this season. And whenever I find myself gravitating toward something, I like to pause and ask why. It’s such a helpful practice…to actually stop and consider what’s grabbing your attention. It always teaches me something about my personal style.
I’ve always wanted to be a dress person. But if I’m honest, I’m just… not. And it’s been bothering me that I have all these beautiful dresses sitting in my closet that I never wear. Maybe that’s part of what drew me to this idea in the first place, maybe this is how I can be a dress person. Maybe this is how I finally get to wear them!?
It’s kind of amazing how a dress becomes something entirely different when you layer it over silk pants. It shifts the silhouette, changes the vibe, and suddenly feels like something I’d actually wear.

Why does this dress-over-pants thing work?
