My favourite hobby is sleep, drifting off to la-la land with my sleep mask is pure decadence. Monday to Friday I am rudely interrupted by my alarm, signifying that is time to get ready for work.

The first time the alarm goes off, I hit the snooze button, by the fifth time the alarm goes off, dreaming is over and it’s time to come back into reality and wake up.

The dress is the most overlooked piece of fashion clothing that not only makes you feel feminine and pretty, but more importantly, helps you maximize your sleep time.

Pants, skirts and blouses sometimes pose a conundrum for me. I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed first thing morning; and the thought of having to co-ordinate an outfit is sometimes just not possible.

Wearing a dress, your outfit is put together for you. No coordinating necessary. Trying to match a blouse to your slacks or skirt can be difficult as it is. Trying to do it with your eyes half shut is next to impossible.

What tends to happen is you end up looking like your going to a job interview at the Circus. With the dress, the only thing you need to worry about is what shoes and what stockings if any, you will wear. Picking out a pair of shoes is easier than playing mix and match with your clothing.

The dress is the answer to it all. You can look stylish, sheik, classy or casual depending on the dress and the way you decide to put it together.

You can easily slip from office to evening wear by changing the purse, adding a few accessories and a dressier shoe.

Winter, add a thicker opaque tight and you’ll be just as warm as if you were wearing slacks. Spring and summer, wear the dress with a flip-flop, casual elegance at its finest.

The benefits of the dress are many. Not only will you be able to get a few more minutes of beauty sleep, using the ladies room becomes easier and for those that feel they lack fashion sense, people will have no idea how clueless you are about fashion when you wear a dress, its style in snap!
