You guys are too sweet. I am crazy about my dresses right now, so I'm glad you're all enjoying them with me!
Agrace, thanks for the tip on the ON coats. I did already take the tags and started to wear them, but also ON does not accept returns after 30 days now, so it's too late anyway. I am always conscious of the short return period for BR/Gap/ON now.
Angie, my obsession began because of you and the blog, of course; last winter there were a number of discussions about sweater dresses and it really piqued my interest. Then, to be totally honest, I discovered in the spring that as I lost weight I could wear a dress longer than I could pants because they were more forgiving with the sizes. I still have all my dresses that I bought in April/May, but I don't have the pants! So it was a more economical choice -- then I realized I just loved the style.
Plus, it shows off my legs.
