A Dress For All Seasons

A Dress For All Seasons on vickiarcher.com


What to wear?

I really dislike this question but the last week or two it keeps flaring up. We are in between seasons and I am so tired of the way I look and what I am wearing. I’m over me.


Do you ever feel like that?

My imagination seems to have deserted me and my wardrobe seems entirely dull. Nothing has changed really, all the familiar pieces are hanging side-by-side, folded one on top of each other and yet I am giving them the big snub. It’s my mid-seasonal mood and it’s decidedly unexciting.



When I get like this there is one dress I turn to.

It’s kind to me; flattering and comfortable. An “antsy” frame of mind is the one I know to be aware of and it is not the moment to neither tempt fate with the unknown nor frustrate myself with trying outcomes.  She is best to be avoided.


The fit and flare style knitted dress is a saviour.

It looks very good on most women and takes the decision making away. No coordination required; simply tights or not and a pair of shoes. Even I can manage that at this time of year.


I think we all have our fall backs, our “what to wear” pieces when we don’t like anything and this is mine. If the body isn’t quite as I would like, it forgives me and the whole season thing is solved; this dress works pretty much every day of the year.


Winning. I need more of this style of dress and pronto. xv
