A Nightcap and a Day Dress

I've always been a sucker for a style and print.  If a certain style looks good on me, I'll get one in every color.  Likewise, if a certain print steals my heart, I'll buy it in everything available.  I've never been sure if these are good thing or not, but I am certain that I'm not alone.  I know many, many men and women alike, who have half a dozen of the same style and wear it all the time like a uniform, but no one really notices because it just looks good on them.
Of course I do the same with styles, which is why I pretty much exclusively buy day dresses from Selkie.  Day dresses are the only style which really looks good on me.  But when I find a print I love, I tend to get as much of it as I can.  If you recall the Mucha print from 2022 and how many dresses I bought in that style, you know exactly what I mean.
So, when this Nightcap print released, I immediately loved it and bought it in the only cotton style available, the Beach Day Dress.  Now, while that style is cute, I've had more than one person think I'm pregnant because of that poofy skirt and it's made me a little self conscious about wearing them.  Also, a strange thing happens to women in their 40s, it's called saggy knees, and unfortunately I now have it, so I am starting to shy away from short dresses too.

Thankfully this print had a re-release in a day dress style and I jumped at the chance to have this stunning print in a style that is not only becoming "my style" by default because I have so many Day dresses, but because this style checks all my boxes: Fitted waist, flattering neckline, flared skirt.
My time with Selkie is coming to an end, I feel, but I am so glad I got this dark beauty before we part ways.  It really is a lovely style and the perfect print.
