Styles I Love: Skater Dresses

I am thrilled that skater dresses have become a prominent trend over the past few seasons.  Rack after rack, I sadly pass up so many sheath, straight, and body con dresses and skirts, which are not at all flattering on me.  The nipped in waist and flared circle skirt of a skater style dress is absolute perfection for my “more in the middle” body type.  

A bit of sassy, and a bit of sweet, this dress is great for date night, and perfect for transitioning from season to season! Layer with tights and a cardigan or blazer in cooler weather, and rock on it’s own with a fierce open toe sandal or wedge in the warmer months.
