“It’s amazing – she’s wearing another dress,” says someone who is probably tired of following me on Instagram. However, if you haven’t turned your back on me and my ridiculously large collection of dresses, maybe it’s because you have the same passion for shopping (so you should check out my Best New Dresses monthly column). That means you might enjoy this story because it’s dedicated to the places where I buy my favorite things.
Of course, I’m talking about brands that I feel confident going back to time and time again for special occasion dresses as well as everyday clothes that I like to wear in the office. If there’s one piece that I know I can wear on my body, it’s a relatively plain long-sleeved, maybe bright or printed mid-length dress, and now there are brands that really focus on that simple, all-purpose dress.
When it comes to dramatic dresses, Rejina is the perfect choice for the day’s wear. The burgeoning balloon sleeve trend can be traced back to her (I admit I own two of them, along with this red number), but she’s equally adept at gorgeous ruffled dresses or rendering them in alternative, eye-catching colors.
