Who needs diamonds? I think dresses are a girls best friend!
At least they're my new best friend.
{Don't get the wrong idea, though, I still like diamonds.}
Growing up, my wardrobe never consisted of so many dresses as it does today. Which really isn't saying much since I have about three dresses that I wear regularly, but that's beside the point. You can't regret past mistakes, so that's why I am looking forward and starting a new relationship with the dress. One where we enjoy each other's company. Not one where I dread the day we spend time together. You know the kind.
Remember this blue dress? Sadly, this is the first time I've worn it since receiving it in the mail. Apparently it took a cross-country move to Florida for me to bust this blue dress out of the closet and throw it on with some fun jewelry and sandals. The result was better than I had hoped.

I love braids. Whew. Now my secret is out! I really love my Modcloth 'Closet Braid Dress' that I bought with some birthday money this past winter. After taking a few photos, I realized my outfit included multiple braids. I braided my hair just to make it that much more ridiculous. Braided dress. Check. Braided purse straps, check. Braided necklace. Check. Finally, braided hair. Check! A girl can never have enough braids.... or diamonds.
Unfortunately, my favorite photo of me in this dress turned out a little fuzzy.
I'm sharing it anyway.
See how happy I am in this dress. Why did it take me so long to realize that dresses make me as giddy as a school girl? They especially make me happy when it's 94° and humid. Breezes do more 'cooling magic' when you're wearing a dress, and I like that. Dresses are my new best friend!
{Oh and you too. You're my bff also}
Happy Monday!
Do you love dresses too?
Love, love, love the dress! Fabulous!

ReplyDeleteI'm just like you, I LOVE dresses and braids. My hair is pretty short for braids now, but I still try a side one every now and again. I am from Brazil, so I'm used to wear dresses year round... but here it gets so cold! I bought thick pantyhose to wear underneath - let's see if I survive this winter! :)

You know, I was thinking the same thing about dresses today. They are life savers when it's insanely hot out. And super cute too. And fun to twirl in. And that's a great color on you. :)
