It’s an addiction I admit it. And there is no higher power or 12-step program to cure me or curb my appetite. I’m a dress fiend. So intense is my craving that while shopping for jeans, a cute top or even shoes, my eyes will always seek and my hands will always pull a dress from the rack that I should, “just try on for the hell of it.” Even splitting my wardrobe between closets in New York City and LA, I had to search furniture shops to find an armoire to hold my dresses. With a little luck and determination I had one built to my specifications and within budget, but even still I can’t fit them all and off-season is packed in a case under the bed. I have a particular affinity for Diane Von Furstenberg and she dominates my dress collection along with a few vintage finds from The Way We Wore in Los Angeles.
If you’re like me, no matter the occasion, the nine to six, seven, eight grind, a party whether casual dinner or black tie affair, or just a night out with your beau a dress is always appropriate and a simple solution. I’m skipping any notion of therapy and rejoicing in girl power. We have choices and a dress is a damn good one. Here are my picks for fall.
