I Can See A Lot of Bright In You, And I Think The Dress Looks Nice On You.

Hey guys, guys! Good news!
My inspiration has been restored!
Thank goodness, it was about time. It was getting old fast.

Lately I've been rummaging around in my closets, and each time I seem to come away more and more dejected. Why, you ask?
Let me ask you this: do you have loadsandloadsandloadsandloads of pretty dresses that have only been worn once or twice (in public, at least. I'll gladly own up to the fact that I like randomly playing dress up once in a while...it keeps my inner child alive) living in your closet? Do you ever wish there was a way you could wear them without looking too over-the-top and prissy and generally like a complete doof?
Yeah, so do I.
So I decided to make a pact with myself:
I solemnly swear that I am up to no good that I WILL find some way too wear each of my fancy dresses in a more casual school-friendly manner in the following week.

Self-imposed challenges are good for me. Most of the time I rise to the occasion.

So here's the first of what I hope to be a week's worth of successful examples of dressing down.




I fancy this shot as one that looks like a still from an old Hollywood movie. I flatter myself.




(dress: the tag fell off, but it's affectionately referred to as The Homecoming Dress by those familiar with it...ISWEARITSMAGIC; lace top: vintage slash stolen from my mom's closet; slip: also stolen from mom; boots: Urban Outfitters)

Don't let your beautiful dresses waste away in your closet. They secretly cry every time you shut the closet door.

Not really. But still. Nothing like quality guilt tripping, right?

So I challenge you all to do the same! Maybe not for one whole week if you don't think you're up to it, but give it a go. It's a crash course in figuring out how to make it work (hahzomgprojectrunwayreferenceseewhatididthere?!).
