Pretty dresses for a cold day!

In my previous blogging life, I blogged almost exclusively about clothes.  After I had depleted my entire life savings on pretty, frivolous things I had practically no need for, I took a general hiatus from shopping.  Now that I work from home, I really have no reason to buy clothes, well, at all.  I've got more t-shirts, jeans, and sweats than you can shake a stick at (and in NYC, no place to keep them).

I never thought of myself as particularly sartorially-inclined, but since I've moved to the city and essentially become a hermit, I'm even less so.  I get up in the morning and think, Hmmmmm, shall I wear the pair of sweatpants that are one size or two sizes too big today?  Or should I wear a pair of yoga pants?  If I don't run first thing in the morning, I wear my pajamas until noon.  If I have a day off from running, maybe I'll wear my pajamas all day.  It's a glamorous existence, really.

If I had to pick a type of clothing, and it was the only kind of clothing I could wear for the rest of my life, it'd be dresses.  Hands down, I don't even have to think about it.  Dresses, all the way.

But when you spend all day inside, and only leave the apartment to run and walk the dog, dresses aren't exactly the star of your wardrobe.  But that doesn't mean I can't treat myself.  I have some fun trips planned for this upcoming year (mostly weekend trips and a road trip that I'm beyond excited for), and I've been picking up some dresses in anticipation.

These two I am still undecided about, but I may be making them mine in the weeks to come.
