I'm not sure if it's due to the hype of classic trousers or my recent style evolution, but dresses are hardly the thing I reach for when I want to feel my best. At least not anymore. There was once a time when I felt confident and most like myself in a pretty frock, but that sentiment is now reserved for loose, low-slung jeans and a tank top. That is until I came across the 30 dresses below.
To correct my current distaste toward the garment, I decided to search high and low at a few of my favorite retailers for the dresses that would hopefully make me fall back in love. I am happy to report that is exactly what happened. Thanks to the beautiful selection at Free People (by the way, don't forget to check out our Free People promo codes), H&M, and J.Crew, I found dresses that are not only pretty but also feel like me.
