If you have closet full of dresses but haven't worn half of them, then it's safe to say that you need to improve your spending habits.
Buying a dress that is difficult to mix and match are some of the frustrating things you're faced with. It's also an indicator that you haven't given much thought into what you're purchasing and if you really need it.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Dresses
My best advice to you is to secure the wardrobe dress essentials first and then focus on the styles that are basic in color (solids will do good too) and style, and then add the trendier ones after that.
You'll get the most out of your buck with versatile womens dresses that can be easily transformed into different outfit combinations - just by switching the belts, scarves, bags and jewelry!
