'Was Ever Woman in This Humour Woo'd?'


Very seldom do I stand in front of my closet and absolutely hate everything in there, but the other day such a mood was upon me. Flipping through the hangers again and again, I finally found this silk, fuchsia number semi buried (can't wait to move out of my 2x4 apartment into a bigger place with a walk-in closet in the bedroom!) Anyhoo...I bought this dress for my birthday last year, so since I was lacking in inspiration, I threw it on and decided to keep everything else minimal. I ended up loving the outcome. Sometimes, simple is best!



How often are you guys afflicted with the 'I HATE EVERYTHING IN MY CLOSET' blues?





Finding this dress made me realize the double 3 birthday is coming up next month, so now I'm on a quest for the perfect birthday dress.  I'm thinking something long and sleek with some sort of peek-a-boo element!

    Love the dress! Fantastic color and great design. You look great. And YES, I often look at my closet and feel like I have nothing to wear. It always happens when I'm in a rush to go out.

    I quite often feel as though I've worn everything in my closet and NEEd something new! It's cool to find something old that hasn't seen the light of day in ages, kinda feels new again. Nice outfit the black really makes the dress pop.
