Million Dollar Dress

I know what your thinking.. No, this dress did not cost a fortune, but it looks like a million bucks! I scored this sassy dress at UAL for an impressive deal, under $60! This dress was regularly around $500 and when I tried it on it fit like a glove. Literally, I had to get assistance to zip this baby up.

When I bought this dress I immediately thought when and where would I be able to wear this. Some thoughts came to mind like: Derby (which isn’t until next year), New Year’s (I might freeze to death) or even if we happened to get invited to some party, but ultimately a couple months down the line I decided to make it my birthday post outfit for now.
This little novelty boat bag from kate spade doubles as either a clutch or a cute little shoulder bag. What’s even better is that it’s currently on sale! What I love most about kate spade novelty bags is that they are so whimsical and such a good conversation starter.

It’s really crazy to think a few years back I was in college and now I am already 27, married, and will have my 10 year High School reunion next year. I remember when I used to think 30 was old and now I am only 3 years away from the big 3-0.

A few words of wisdom I have received a long the way that I constantly have to remind my self about:

“Everything happens for a reason”
“If what you are doing right now isn’t helping you take a step toward your goal, then take a step back and re-evaluate you plan”
“While we are busy planning, God is laughing”
“Be patient”
“It’s not always about you”
“Once you figure out what you love, you will never have to work a day in your life”
“Live your life, don’t work so much you get burnt out”
