British philosopher Francis Bacon said, “Fashion is the only attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse”. This living form of art holds power – power to control a part of one’s image. Anyone can play a role, embody a story, or represent an era based on what he or she chooses to wear.
I remember when I first saw this dress on the sales rack at Bloomingdales a few years ago… it was 4 times too large for me and I almost passed it up. I tried it on, put it back, then tried it on again… wondering if I can altered it without too much complications (I’m lazy), and finally decided to give in when the sale price was too good to pass up. Well, I’m so glad I didn’t because after altering it, the fit was perfect and here a few years later, it’s still a hit whenever I put it on. When I wear this dress, I feel elegant, confident, and as if I was transformed back to a certain decade. Sometimes I joke and say it’s vintage and that it belongs to my mom. :)
Ahhh, is it Friday yet?

Ahh, the good o’ polka dots…a classic retro print that’s playful, transmits joy, and is always on trend no matter the season. It’s no wonder Minnie Mouse never wore anything but polka dots! :)

Sometimes the best things in life are free…or they’re $12. Honestly, this dress from H&M has got to be one of my favorite little midi dresses. It’s comfortable, versatile, easy to style and did I say it’s super comfortable?….Made of a knit jersey, that’s also thick enough so it’s not see thru and the little flaws are hidden :). I also love that’s it’s casual and transitions well for day to night and from casual to dressy!
