I Get Away With Wearing the Same Dress Over and Over Again—10 Looks I Copy

I had a friend over the other day for quick weekend catch-up. Before we headed out to explore the city, I opened my closet to grab a light jacket, and she immediately gasped. I may or may not have an obsession with buying new dresses, so my closet was spilling out with probably well over 50 styles.
