I have all these dresses. Love them, but didn't wear them frequently enough. It was necessary to figure out which ones I like, what it would take for me to wear them more often, and which ones my closet could maybe do without. How could one achieve this? Well, like everything else in my adulthood, it turned out the right answer was by force. I decided not to wear pants out of the house for the month of June. Dresses, skirts, tunics with leggings (only did that one twice) were all acceptable. I wore yoga pants once to get a facial and hit Costco, and shorts once for a trip to IKEA, but those were my only "cheats".
My wardrobe is basically color blocking. Greens, blues, reds, pinks, purples, black/grey, and very little in the way of print. Pairing a teal or turquoise with just the right red is a religion. Color blocking is just my whole jam.
I discovered three things:
1) The more tropical the print, the more colorful, splashy, and bright, the more I wanted to wear it.
2) I don't care who sees my legs. My ankles and my stretch marked backs of my knees have always been a source of shyness. I thought I would be more self conscious or conscious of the fact that my fat girl bike shorts were showing, but I didn't even care a little bit. Apologized for flashing everyone and moved on.
3) I love jeans.
A+ experiment, highly recommend.
