Once the weather warms up, I'm quite happy to go pantless. Whether in a board meeting or at lunch with my mother-in-law, I find that pants are a bit of a bother. I mean, all the buttons and zips and worrying about how I look when I leave - it's all so much stress with little sartorial pay-off. And I've never met a boss, friend or boyfriend who doesn't load on the compliments when I leave my pants at home.

I say let's all go pant-free, ladies. I don't care whether you're a girly-girl or not. It doesn't matter if you're a risk-taker or a play-it-safe kind of girl. And it certainly doesn't matter what body type you've been blessed with. A dress, my friends, is always the answer. And now that the long range forecast is calling for a steady stream of double-digits (FI.NA.LLY.) you really need little else. From minis to maxis, and Kate Middleton-esque long-sleeves to bicep-baring sleeveless shifts, White Oaks Mall is full of frock stars just waiting to be worked. So say sayonara to your socks, see you later to your skinnies, and an emphatic 'YES' to the dress. I've rounded up 50 of my fav frocks in stores right now...

Little. White. Dress.

 

Guess Julia Dress, $98 (currently on sale for $68.60) at Bootlegger

SMITTEN. How pretty is this dress?! It comes in white, black, soft pink floral and pale blue stripes (the finest, prettiest, super-narrow stripes you ever did see), though I've managed to narrow it down to white and blue. It 's made by the overt sexpots at Guess so chances are, it will be of a highly inappropriate length for anyone on this side of 30, but I'm holding out hope that it's as long as it looks in pictures. And if not, I'm stealing rlr mini's trick of wearing a frilly white slip underneath to make up the difference. Genius, isn't she?

I found it at Bootlegger (I know!) and luckily, the store just happens to be holding a 30% off dress sale this very moment. Well, what, pray tell, are you waiting for?  

Happy long weekend, sweetest thangs. There are mini eggs all over my house and I know every single hiding spot. It's a dangerous job being the Easter Bunny, isn't it?

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em; or in the case of winter, dress like it. If you've got a case of the January blues, wondering when this deep freeze is going to end, sometimes all you have to do is peep your nose out of your parka to get inspired. Whether it's the crisp white snow, the powder blue and pink skies at sunset, or even all that grey slush at your feet, the soft pastel colours of winter are actually way prettier than black, and just might help you feel the calm after an ice storm.
