Longer post here, hoping you can hang in.

When you live in Upstate New York and dress beautiful women in beautiful clothing, it helps to have a second skin. In so many ways. And, thinking that no matter where you live or what you do, it probably helps to have a second skin.

For two daughters’ lacrosse game, 7th grader at catholic school versus 8th grader at independent, had to pull out the long down ski jacket with fur hood. Heck, it’s May 13th, had on the ski wear and still had to retreat to the car to keep warm.

Underneath it all had on a second skin top, Rag & Bone jeans, love those things, and grounded it with Jimmy Choo biker boots, love those too, have two pair now and want a third, and Jerome Dreyfuss bag that matched the coat.

Having a second skin, literally and figuratively, helps protect you from life’s up and downs, give and takes, when you sell yourself, the product you believe in, or just basically need to bear with the elements.

Every day dress believes that to have a second skin is a very good thing. I was wearing:

Worth New York Summer 2013 |Navy Scoop Neck 3/4 Sleeve Elongated Tee

Rag & Bone Gun Metal Jean

Jimmy Choo Youth Biker Boot

Jerome Dreyfuss Carloss Bag

A favorite client asked about wearing a full sleeve high neck lace dress she purchased in November for a black tie event this past weekend in the month of May; reply? Yes, of course, it seems now that fashion knows no season, ski wear in the month of May is working.

Here’s the footnote: work in fashion, work from home, work flexible hours, work with beautiful women, hey, all women are beautiful, right? Have a second skin? Want or need a second skin, literally or figuratively? Email me here, rebecca@everydaydress.com.

Happy Monday everyone. Every day dress wishing everyone out there to have a second skin. It’s not always easy but so worth it.

Second footnote: this here little blog exists to impart information, inspire women to dress, share with you the good stuff, 42,ooo+ site views and growing, thank you. Not bad for a little cottage industry. If you too would like to get involved, email me here, rebecca@everydaydress.com. Thank you for reading.

It’s always a good thing to have a little color in your wardrobe. Particularly when you’re in Washington DC for Mother’s Day weekend. A closet full of black can certainly make getting dressed easier, sometimes though it’s just simply nice to do different.

Pictured here, Strawberry and Indigo Tweed Fringed Dress, a little shorter than usual, and third daughter chose royal blue and nautical stripes.

Never would have gone here without the prompting of friend and colleague, thank you Mary, to take five minutes to simply try it on. Not my usual color, style, or even length, but once on the body it felt fun and different, and it was a go.

Add a little color, take a little fashion risk, especially during the month of May and for your upcoming special events.

Happy Mother’s Day to all women everywhere.

Local electrician now on iPhone favorites. Husband is feeling that the household lighting needs updating. Very cool here with every day dress.

Husband going modern with the light fixtures. Totally on board. Much like a new shoe can change the look of the entire outfit, a new light fixture creates a whole new mood.

This morning we had old school hand carved wooden European mood going on, tonight for dinner it was clear crystal and chrome.

Had a great outfit to post today but with husband going modern had to photograph and post the lighting upgrade. Fashion will have to wait, this here is lifestyle.

Every day dress loves the husband going modern. Jane, this one’s for you. As always, loved seeing you today, thank you. xoxo

Investing in quality clothing provides two great feelings; the excitement and thrill of wearing something new and then the comfort and familiarity of putting on the same pieces again, knowing that they work and look great.

When working from home and especially in a creative field like fashion, it’s a little easier to pull off what was once cocktail wear as day/work wear. Bought this two piece knit three years ago. Made its debut for the office holiday party circuit and now you see it many seasons later, as day/work wear during the month of May.

The monochromatic black, the sleek shape of knit, and the simple cut of the two pieces give freedom in shoe choice. Reached for the rock stud again, so loving the low heel, can literally run up and down multiple flights of stairs all day long.

Every day dress does the two piece knit look on a normal work day. See what you have from a few seasons back that can be worn again. Enjoy and wear your clothes, even the earlier party circuit stuff, the two piece knit.

Dress. As in the noun and verb. When your day is nonstop and you need to look put together, nothing beats a dress when getting dressed.

Currently reading Daniel H. Pink’s To Sell is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others on the iPad. Not a formal book review here but he says we all sell, how about that? Also talks about the one-word pitch: The ultimate pitch for an era of short attention spans begins with a single word-and doesn’t go any further.

After much thought and not sure why it took so long, here’s the one-word pitch for this little blog: dress. Thinking of the verb form, put on one’s clothes, make an effort, bring intent, show up. Thinking of the noun, too. A one-piece garment can often make the day.

Dress shown was worn two years ago exactly to interview in NYC. Back then wore it with a more conservative shoe. Got the job. Today, kind of like pairing it with the rock stud and showing a little edge. Two year contract up for renewal this June, better go pitch the one-word. Dress. 🙂

Every day dress.

Absolutely crazy for this china blue color. Thinking this would be a great combination to wear perhaps to Nantucket or the Vineyard this summer?

Full disclosure: last two blog posts have created interest in the wardrobe pieces from every day dress. Specifically the stretch linen white pants and the orange crush cotton anorak. Both pieces from last season and completely sold out. Outfit pictured here? These are current pieces borrowed for fifteen minutes from the sample set I have here until May 9. Literally styled this look this morning at 7 am and had daughter snap photos before the school drop-off.

Here is the ask: if you would like to see these pieces up close and personal, come see me before May 9. Many more pieces in this great stretch linen and china blue.

If you are interested in Trunk Shows in your area, email me here as well. Love to share the good stuff.

Bag, sneakers, and jewelry from the permanent collection of every day dress.

Here is the ask again: come see me, Trunk Show through May 9.

These clothes are way too beautiful to keep under wraps, they are meant to be worn by women like you.
