THE LAST WARM DAYS... DRESS DOWN NOW!

I am enjoying the last warm days of... Washington DC gets cool by the end of September, so I am wearing my short shorts and summer dresses as much as i can. I admit, I hate pants. I don't like fall/winter fashion as much as spring/summer fashion. Not a fan of fancy big coats (although I won't say no to fur.. but that's a whole another story)
Here's me yesterday: wearing my favorite comfy and colorful orange dress and rocking my new Longchamp burgundy tote. I love Longchamp totes... They're so light and goes with literally everything. You can put so much in it. I own 3 different sizes/colors, and I totally recommend it.
Note: If you see one you like, buy it right then and there if you can. The colors are seasonal, so if you miss it, you probably won't see it again... (true story, happened to me)

BELOVED GARMENT: Old mint green dress

Beloved old dress #9: Mint green floral button down... The pure simplicity of this dress is why i love it so much. It is cotton, so it's very comfortable. With a touch of belt, it is a great outfit for a daytime. 

Every time i wear this dress, I get compliments. Women think it is chic, and men think it's cute. Hey, I can totally live with that. (Planning on rocking this dress until I can't fit into it) 

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!

I got this dress from a little boutique in Washington D.C. At the time, this kind of silk dresses were not that popular. The overall shape of the dress reminds me of Japanese origami. The thing that attracted me most about this dress though is the beautiful pattern... something Italians would put on their scarves. I think it is very elegant. I've only worn this dress three times, because I need a special occasion for it; this dress is just too damn elegant for everyday outings.

SOMETIMES THE BORING OLD IS GREAT! (closet drama)

Call me selfish and whatever else you can think of, but i hate sharing my closet. That means, my friends and family never borrow my clothes. Even if they did, I'd just say no. Recently though, I decided to give away some of my goodies to my nieces and cousins. The reason being: 1) I decided to be a good relative, 2) I cannot fit into most of them, 3) my closet is completely full and I barely see most of my clothes (Note: I do not own a walk-in closet. My closet is tiiiny and some of my clothes are on a 'runway' rack in the middle of my bedroom. Classy, I know!) So anyway, I almost chose this red number to give away...  I had this dress for 9 years. I wore it probably ten-fifteen times. I remember falling in love with it when I first saw it in a store... But for something happened today. I passed by the see-through basket full of clothes, and saw this 'gem'. Wait a minute, I was going to give you up?? I tried it on and it fit me just fine... and that's when it hit me. I was just bored to see the same old thing in my closet. I didn't even bother to try on this dress when I decided to dump it in the basket... Ahh, how glad I saw this dress again. Fell right back in love!
