SUMMER DRESSES 2.0


Ha! This has been a particularly long time since i've written my last entry. The last entry is dated almost a year ago!!! I will try to write more now. So much happened since the last time i sat in front of my computer to write on my blog... I am now studying PR at the American University, the most liberal college in the U.S. I really really like the program. I get to do all sorts of things that i never dreamed of doing (i worked for a person who was trying to build a museum in Washington DC!!) and meet extremely talented and smart people everyday. The only problem is the tuition. I am working and going to school at the same time. NEVER a fun experience. I did the same thing during my undergrad years, and i gotta say i was absolutely exhausted at the end. Hopefully I will survive this one! haha. (This is why i've been not writing on my blog) Anyway, no matter how I'm buried under tons of books and papers, I still manage to wear half way decent clothes... By this, i don't mean all fancy stuff. I mix and match. And yes, i am not the girl who spends hundreds and thousands of dollars every few months on designer stuff.. Basically, the seasonal clothing budget thing just doesn't ring a bell for me.
~The summer is here, ladies!!! So let's talk about summer fashion... and especially summer dresses. Every year, I seem to add at least 1 summer dress to my collection of fun summer dresses. My grandma used to wear all sorts of beautiful summer dresses when she was younger. I remember those black and white pictures of her wearing floral, striped, and polka dotted dresses. On my part, I've always loved summer dresses. I had this bright orange bohemian summer dress with huge floral prints. Oh, how much i used to love that dress! I wore it everywhere (I wore that dress at my 10th birthday!) You could spot me from far away. I just think that summer dresses make women look and feel more feminine. I understand if you have a problem with me promoting femininity. Just stop reading this. I act differently when i am wearing a dress. The way i walk and talk becomes very lady-like if you ask me. Usually i like short summer dresses, but i have couple of maxi dresses that i wear occasionally. Women stopped wearing summer dresses for a really long time... but recently i started noticing more women wearing summer dresses. (Thank you, Forever 21 and H&M for making affordable cute dresses) I know that shorts are much comfortable, but rocking summer dresses once in a while is totally worth it. You'll understand what I'm talking about when you try one. I don't recommend wearing a short dress on a windy day. And I highly recommend NOT wearing granny-undie at all times while wearing a summer dress. Alright ladies, enjoy the sun and wear the dress :D
Last but not least, a little reminder to my readers (i imagine my readers are mostly women), don't dress up for other people, dress up for yourself.
P.S: These are dresses from my little collection. The white polka-dotted one is my absolute favorite!!
