all dressed up with nowhere to go….
A while back, I ordered several dresses to try for a friend’s wedding. None of them worked for the wedding of course, but there was one that I just had to keep even though I had absolutely no where to wear it. I mean ABSOLUTELY no where!!! It was floor length, fully covered in sequins, and basically backless….
Where does a normal girl wear a thing like that??? Under a chunky sweater that has been tied up into a knot at the waist, of course!
Seriously, I just loved the deep green of the dress, and it was just so sparkly and delightful that I couldn’t help myself! I kept it and decided that maybe one day I would get invited somewhere super fancy and get to wear it, but as it hung in my closet taunting me, I just needed to wear it….One day, while staring into the abyss of my closet, it hit me….Dress it down! Make it work! You can do it!!!
So, for Christmas Eve, I decided to grab a chunky red sweater, throw it over my fancy dress, and tie it at the waist to give it shape. It worked! I got to wear my fancy dress and loved it!!! Which just goes to prove that even if you *think* you have nowhere to wear it, if you love it, keep it!!!
