It’s almost that time of year again for ASU’s Winter Gala! My freshman year I went out and bought my first cocktail dress (from Forever21…) for my first fancy college formal. Little did I know, that I would be lost in a sea of bland cocktail dresses the rest of the night. I then made it my mission, should I choose to accept it, to always make my own outfit for a special event. Especially since everyone will always end up asking me if I made my own outfit or not, I can at least have the pleasure by gracefullly saying, “Indeed, I did.” I have made my formal dresses for the past 2 years. The first one I ran out of time yet I still somehow managed to hold everything together with a skinny pink leather belt from Express. Hence, the “Wrap Me in Your Love” wrap dress by Dear Mar was born. Last year when I made my dress, I was inspired to show off my new tan and wanted a low back halter gown with this gorgoeus houndstooth print. However, my lace collar didn’t hold up like I wanted it to, but the lace trim on the thigh high slit definately worked to my advantage. This year I want to create something classic with a twist. I’m thinking cool colors this time around, although I am very over cobalt, but perhaps a turquoise or sky blue. Definitely something fitted, possibly a sweeheart neckline, and dripping with pearls. It’s going to be lovely & Breakfast at Tiffany’s inspired. I’ll definitely keep you posted!
![I am really starting to appreciate pattern play. Where have you been all my life? Going to start posting pictures up of my daily outfits =] I cannot wait for SPRING! Well, with this crazy 50 degree weather, it might be here sooner than I think. I’m so ready for bright colors (lipstick red, canary yellow, and my fave: Orange) I’m also starting to get past my “hipster phase” and leaning towards more of a cleaner, classier silhouette. My go to item for the past several weeks has been my ever growing collection of blazers. I just bought 3 from H&M for under $100. Score!
I’ve also been sick since Saturday, so looking somewhat decent has been sort of a struggle. In return, it has given me a whole day off today to recover and think about my future. I’m considering going back to school instead of working multiple dead end jobs. I have finally decided to launch my own business. I have the sewing & customer service skills down however business is a whole other world to me. That’s where school comes in handy. Maybe New York isn’t out of reach just yet…](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxjew94x451qad2wmo1_250.jpg)
