A Closet Full of Halter Dresses
By Archivist on Jun 15, 2009 in Shopping
I am one of those girls who really loves to wear dresses. I am also one of those girls who likes to get new clothes frequently because I like to always have a different look. So imagine my surprise when a friend said to me the other day:
“Your dress looks really cute. But I have a question. Not to be rude, but why do you always get the same kind of dresses?”
At first I had no idea what she was talking about. I feel like I always choose really different dresses. The dresses that I have are really varied in terms of colors, patterns and materials. But when I went home after that conversation and looked into my closet, I knew what my friend had meant. Every single dress I own is a halter top dress.
The reason for this is that I know that this style always looks great on me. I don’t even have to try dresses on in the store because I can see that this shape will suit me. I haven’t had nearly as much luck with other types of dresses. For the most part, I think it’s okay for me to stick with what I know. Still, I might need to change it up just a little bit since my friends are starting to think I look boring!

Don’t forget how much accessories can change the overall look of something, especially a cute cropped jacket or a fitted cardi or something like that. It’s not a crime to stick to what you like!

Mix it up! If you’ve got the body for halter dresses, go for something with a V-Neck and spaghetti straps that will balance out the same areas without looking quite so 50’s. Play around, have some fun!

Well that’s your problem right there! You always should try stuff on in the store or you’ll never know what might look good on you or how something else might fit. You don’t have to go nuts but I would recommend trying on a different shape.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I don’t understand why this would matter if you like the dress and look good in the dress. Girls get a little too caught up in disposable clothes (never repeat an outfit!) but sometimes a solid shape is all you need.

Your friend kind of sounds like a jerk, if you don’t mind me saying. What does it matter if the dresses are similar? If they’re still obviously different dresses, keep rocking it til YOU get enough.

Babe, you’ve only got one body and it’s up to you to dress it right. Most women never find a style that really works for them, so since you have, don’t let the turkeys get you don’t and DON’T feel guilty for looking gorgeous!

I think it’s a classic case of friend jealousy. You obviously have a great fashion sense, so don’t be suckered in by friends who don’t have your best interests at heart. Be true to your fashionista spirit!

I hate to agree with your friend, but hey, why not? Try something new. Give it a try. Sometimes the thing we least expected to like becomes totally indispensable to us, so who knows, you might find a new proverbial halter dress!
