“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive;
and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”
-Maya Angelou

Today starts the new style series! I tend to look for a little substance behind most things I do because really, it’s the only way I will stay motivated. This year I wanted to share a topic in fashion that would be a good resource for those of you who come to visit each week. It’s also my nod to the art of getting dressed.

I get asked most often where to find the right dresses for the right occasion, so this is my series to answer the question! 31 dresses. The number will be a challenge but a fun one as I seek out dresses that fit my guidelines of feminine, tasteful, stylish, and versatile pieces that are well made and a benefit to your closet. 
 

 
So here is Dress One, the bell sleeve fit and flare dress I found at Altar’d State. Head to their store and see if you can find this feminine frock to add to your closet when you need that dress for any occasion (I got it half price)! There are some similar ones you can find at asos.
 

 
I hope you enjoy this series, and I look forward to the hunt, and saving you the work! Here is a video that is pretty good depiction how style has changed over the years. And as much as I love a pair of distressed denim and a tee, there is something to be said about the dress, and what it can do for a gal. So cheers to the dress, and the confidence that can come with it.
