Sharing Style | The Comfortable Cotton Dress

As a kid dresses were the antithesis to everything that I stood for. Climbing trees, riding bikes, playing sports--all were hindered by a singular, flowing piece of fabric. Despite my distaste for them in my younger years, I grew to like and even love dresses during adolescence. At that time, however, I thought they could only be made of the stiffest fabrics, and paired with the biggest earrings and tallest of stilettos--rendering them useless for much more than taking Myspace-bathroom-duck-face selfies (I think I may have dated myself a little there). More recently, I've discovered that dresses can be both practical and stylish simultaneously... the perfect staple piece for the mom of a busy little toddler. They have become an essential part of my warm weather wardrobe. 

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm all about combining the best of both worlds--I like to be comfortable, while still managing to feel pretty. And, I like polka dots. A lot. I found this dress and knew that I would probably wear it way too much this summer. Anytime I come across a dress that's modest without the need for any kind of modification, I jump at the opportunity. Sleeves? Knee-length? Affordable price? It's almost unheard of. I paired it with my go to booties, added a few simple accessories, and called it good. I suppose the younger versions of myself just wouldn't understand... A fact that I'm okay with.
