Love at First Sight

That moment when you put on a dress in the dressing room, and your eyes sparkle, and you can't help but smile. When that dress that you never thought you would love, turns out to be the perfect one. That was my experience with my prom dress. I wanted something that no one else would wear, something unique and special and beautiful. Something that would flatter my body but also something that I could wear again. So after about 20 dresses, I saw a sparkly number hanging on the rack and grabbed it just for fun. I pulled it on and stepped out of the dressing room and saw my reflection in the mirror How could this dress, that I wasn't planning on being the one, make me feel so amazing?
The picture online would have never promoted me to pick it, the sparkles were something I would have avoided, and the fuller skirt (not ballgown) was not my original plan, but the strapless sweet heart neckline, the turned up sequins that would catch the attention of everyone in the room, and the cascading aqua color was breathtaking. This was it, whether I liked it or not. It was love.

Scarf it Down

My most ravenous obsession would have to be scarves. When its cold, put on a scarf. When I need color, put on a different scarf. When i need to be fancier, put on another scarf. Pretty much, they're awesome. So lately I've been scarfing down on scarves and improving my collection. Winter has warm wool and soft cashmere wraps while summer has the light, sheer and colorful, and then there is everything in between.
My scarf suggestion? Cover all your categories: color, size, and occasion. My collection includes blue and white stripes, plain black, metallic green, pink and green, blue and black, solid gold, gold and white, gold and purple, and sizes that go from "could be a blanket" to "could use as a head band."
With the warmer moths approaching, I am looking for a lacey white, a coral, and patterned yellow.
