The dress

I will be wearing more dresses this summer than ever before. It took me a long time to fine tune the formula of length and casual comfort that I wanted. Plus for someone tall (as it is for someone short) it is a little more challenging to find the right styles.

I don't aim to blend in but invariably do because I favor much the same things that many women do. The precarious balance of style and comfort is what makes me end up falling within a spectrum that does not have me stand out. If anything these days it's been a race to the bottom to see how much we can push the envelope of casual which is where I break ranks. No pajama bottoms for this girl on public transit.

In the end we need to feel right in our skin and clothing choices are reflections of that harmony. Towards that end I don't want to advertise but to wear things which align with my mindset and what I plan on doing that day. Dresses were finally incorporated because I began to feel good in them instead of because others told me that they suited me.

Today it is warm, I am lunching with my upstairs neighbor and I will be wearing a dress.
