Wearing or dressing

I have some difficult to pronounce the word "wearing" so I'd be glad if I could use "dressing" instead.

Below sentences using both of them:

- Today I'm wearing a white t-shirt and a checked hoodie.
- Today I'm dressing a white t-shirt and a checked hoodie.

Does the 2nd one sounds good?

Cheers!
