In anticipation of spring I've been getting out some of my spring/summer dresses for days just like this. I have a fetish for dresses, so much so that I don't have room in my closet for all of them, so half go into storage in the off season. The bright side of this is that when spring finally appears and I pull out all my lightweight, floral dresses it's like getting a wicked present from myself. This is mostly due to the fact that I never remember what I put into storage in the first place. ....which probably indicates I'm a dress hoarder of some kind....meh.
The down-side the dress is that it's a head-to-toe look, and it can be a challenge to make a dress look different each time you wear it. What I like to do is layer my skirts over my dresses for a completely new outfit. It can play down the all-over floral pattern of a dress, and also make a dress that is too short look more work appropriate.
Above I'm mixing two spring floral dresses with two of my favorite skirts, with a cardigan and some tights I can go to work, or with heels I can go to dinner. Make the most of your closet by finding new ways to wear old favorites.

Happy Mixing!
