Romantic Clothing

The following link will take you to my favorite store of all times. I've put on a Victorian Tea Party every year for the past 5 years.

One of the perks of this event is finding that perfect dress to wear.

This year, I found the most beautiful dress, that is so romantic, and fits me like a glove. The intricate details are exquisite.  The way it makes me feel when I'm in it, is out of this world.

Seriously, you know you look good, when people want to feel your clothes and can't stop complimenting you on how beautiful you look. All I know is, we all love beautiful things. I love to decorate my home. Most everything I do comes from the inspiration of beautiful things. Even those vintage things of the past that makes you appreciate the simple life. When there was no TV. When family meant something, as evenings were spent around the dining room table, talking and visiting, which was part of a nightly routine. For me, and probably for you,  is why I am smitten by old vintage stuff. I long for a bygone way of life that feels like home. Where there is comfort in doing the simple things that seems to have been lost. It is an intentional, purposeful mindset to grab a hold of that past. To fit evening dinners around the dining room table. To purposely spend time with your spouse and kids. But to also, have friends over for tea, to just talk about life, and to share visions and goals. That makes for this moment to be special and not so hurried. This dress, speaks that to me. I hope to be able to wear it as many times as I can. Why not?
