I have dresses on the brain (which is not that uncommon for me). I headed over to modcloth.com to browse their dresses and came to an unfortunate discovery: every single dress that I was drawn to is SOLD OUT. This leads me to three conclusions:

1: I have very mainstream taste, apparently. (Bad.)
2: I’m not quick enough on the draw – totally missed out. (Bad.)
3: All the dresses I am drawn to are slightly longer in length (moderately close to or at knee length). The fact that these longer dresses are all sold out tells me I am not alone in this preference! Retailers, are you LISTENING? (Good!)

…has just gotten a little longer.

Everyone loves a little black dress, and I am no exception. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Shabby Apple‘s dresses and in a recent visit to their website I discovered they have some new (well, new to me anyways) LBDs! I love all three of these for their flexibility – they could be dressed up or down with the change of shoes and jewelry. Looks like my (ever expanding) wish list won’t be getting a break any time soon…

I am a huge fan of the summer dress – there is nothing easier than throwing on a fun and flirty dress, wedge sandals, and some lightweight jewelry on a hot summer day. I’d much rather spend my summer days in a comfy dress than in shorts or jeans! I’ve spent the past month searching desperately for some fun dresses and have been irritated more times than I can tell you, dear readers. I am SO sick of the minidresses and floor length maxi dresses! I don’t look good in either. I’d nearly given up hope of ever finding a flattering dress again when I discovered Shabby Apple. I am in love! I’ll take one of each, please!
