So here’s the thing: Sometimes I’m not very good at being a girl.
I’m good at a lot of the parts of it, but looking well pulled together and cute in the way I dress isn’t really something I do on a regular basis. I’m kind of relentlessly awkward. It’s a good kind of awkward – a Hel Looks, vaguely boyish, confident kind of awkward that I’m really comfortable in, but this summer I want to have a more in my closet than skinny jeans, cardigans and t-shirts to draw on every day.
I’ve been trying to start looking a little more fashionable for the past couple of years, diligently sorting through my drawers to get rid of things that just don’t work or that I just don’t wear, and only buying things I really love that will last. And now that my basics & foundation pieces are covered? I want sun dresses. And not just any dresses, I want unique ones that suit me, that I can be comfortable in, that are fun, and that I can love.
What better way to re-vamp my summer wardrobe than by making it a challenge? So I’m resolved to buy (& show you) one new or thrifted dress every month until the fall comes around.
And without further ado, here’s Dress Number One!

Very cute! Though from what I can tell, you always look pretty cute, no matter what you say to the contrary! I bought two dresses this week – one for just $7! – & can’t wait to wear them very soon.

Brilliant idea! Definitely count me in. My wardrobe has been under construction for the past two years and this will keep me accountable on that. I wish I had an ounce of your creativity!

ok,this idea is brilliant! I love it. I do NOT love dresses b/c I am very self conscious about my legs and all that accompany them after suffering through pregnancies but I’m tired of seeing RIDICULOUSLY cute dresses when I’m out and about and not having the courage to wear them!
So whether it’s with jeans or leggings or even bare legs *gasp* I vow to participate in this, especially since it means I get to buy a new dress or 3 or 4! ;)

Hi Kyla,
A little late, but I joined the fun! I am loving the links in your comments to find unique and fun dresses. Already have next month’s dress lined up, but am on the hunt for 4 more.
