Hello everyone!
There’s just something about dressing up that makes me feel really good. One of my college roommates always commented on how I always got DRESSED for class. She said, “You never see you go to class in sweats.” I actually didn’t really own any sweats outside of my cheerleading practice wear and game day uniforms. My appearance affected how I felt, which affected my academic performance. I remember there was a time when I did go to class in my cheerleading sweats and I just felt like I wanted to put my head down and take a nap. From that day on, I made sure I got DRESSED for class.
I still live by the same rules today. For me, feeling good begins with looking good. Now don’t get me wrong, there are days when I stay in my lounge clothes all day. But when I want to feel pretty, I get DRESSED. Even when I am sick or in a bad mood, my outfit can give me a little boost back the other way.
An evening gown makes me feel elegant, ruffles and lace make me feel ultra feminine, just as a suit makes me feel like a CEO. Can an outfit change your mood or alter how you feel?

Gorgeous outfit! You look beautiful!
Thank you so much, Angela!
You look fabulous! And that is so true about getting “dressed.” It definitely gives you an extra kick in your step!
I can’t even count how many times I have gotten a boost from an outfit!
I love it! And I want the jacket! Too cute!
When I saw it at Target, I thought it was a little bit too expensive for Target. And when I finally decided I wanted it anyway, they were sold out. Then, on day I was at Target again, and saw someone had returned it in my size…and the rest is history!
I love the combinations of colors, patterns and textures!
Thank you so much, Danielle!
