thanks Bijou and Angie!

Janet, thanks! I just have to meet you some day since I'm wearing "your" dress Good advice on stocking up, I'm now convinced that it's the right thing to do.

Suz, great comments about your winter dress. I get it! I'm going to go think about your different dress usages...great way to categorize them. Actually I'm going to see how my wearings play out and let it evolve that way. Great to hear that your dresses have such longevity. I think solid colors might be better for longevity than prints but who knows if that's really true.

Typically true for me, Chris. We tire of patterns faster, I think. But some patterns have real longevity for each of us personally. Think Brooklyn with her moody dark florals and chevrons. For me, stripes and gingham and some tartans don't date. Polka dots have a retro flair that I always enjoy. I tire more quickly of florals and even some abstract watercolour prints -- even when I love them!

Oh -- another wrinkle -- I tire fastest of patterns that don't echo my personal colouring. If it does echo my colouring I am likely to enjoy it longer.

Chris, the Macys Collector is working. Would you mind adding the dress Finds when you have a moment.

Suz and Chris, I tire of ALL patterns that are not classics. And learned the hard way

Thanks Suz and Angie.

Angie I did just to add the dress finds from Macys, but the collector doesn't want to collect anything but the first dress that comes up, in other words it would not collect alternate colors, just the original one. I created finds for all the dresses but a few are not the colors I chose.

Chris, that's right. It only collects one colour for now, which is temporary. THANK YOU.

What are the brands of the Macys dresses - I will collect them too.

My faves on you were 8/9, 10/11 and 14.

I really have enjoyed seeing you in such fab dresses and reading the feedback. Glad you’re leaning toward keeping more.
