Samantha

Hello readers, happy Friday! Today's dress of the week is Samantha. And todays blog post is all about the confidence.... and this obnoxious color lol.

Samantha was inspired by the none other Samantha Jones character from the TV  series Sex in the City. Samantha Jones is best known for her confidence, and her bold wardrobe choices. A few of you may know that Sam's style somewhat resembled what I liked to call a modern 80's look. Sam could be seen wearing bold colors and big shoulder pads occasionally throught the show. Sam grew up in the 80's so it only makes sense that Sam would incorporate a bit of the 80's into her wardrobe. Which is why I used this bright greenish- yellow color in this dress because I feel like it's something Sam would wear applying that old 80's vibe in there because the 80's is known for being outragous and everyone wearing bright colors back then. Samantha was all about being herself, she didn't care if people stared at what she was wearing as long as they were staring right? So I gaver her a full on beaded rinestone bodice because it draws attention and we all know Samantha loves the attention. I love the idea that style is what we make of it, we can completely make something our own by maybe adding a tutu skirt with some nice pumps and a leather jacket because we just feel like it. I wanted a big dress because I feel like it makes it more personal to Samanthas unique and cleaver style. You'd never be caught wearing a ball grown on the streets of Matthattan but perhaps at a giant Gala event were all eyes can be on you. If I were to go to some sort of fancy event I'd want something out there to be more appealing to the eye and just because a little attention isn't that bad. With style there is no right or wrong anwser so just be yourself girl... Fashion is all about expressing yourself because is an art and it shows who you really art. Even though Sam is a bit over 30 I didn't care that a rinestone skirt is a bit childish, It sparkles, it's girly and fun. Samantha Jones never acknowledged her age because age is just a number so why not wear something that sparkles for a change. I hope I'm as confident as Samantha and I'll be rocking a bright color when I'm 80 years old, maybe even a dash of glitter because glitter is fun and heck there's so such thing as age. Fashion is a representation of who you truely are. I've been told that my style varies from time to time I don't care what others think of how I dress I  dress for myself because I want it to reflect how I am feeling on the inside out. I like following new trends but the great thing about new trends is you can create something new and make it your own. The key to confidence is being yourself and who cares what others think of you as long as your happy in the end you'll be untouchable and opinions won't matter. I've always said that the best thing a girl can wear is confidence so find it and wear it well. 

Samantha Jones said " I love you but I love myself more." I want you to love the most important person out there to love, you! The more you love yourself the less people's opinions will matter so put on your heels and your confidence and head out the door to happy-ville. 

Penelope

Hello everyone! I'm back! Sorry for being M.I.A lately, I've had a crazy busy month in Febuary as I've said in previous blogs before I got to be a part of my cousin's wedding and that was pretty huge for me because I've been a bridesmaid and my cousin and I are extreamly close so it was a big deal for me. So in other words it kept me busy. I also had a little incident were I spilled soda on my laptop and was laptopless for a couple of miserable days. I swear I'm such a clutz it's not even funny I wake up with bruises and wonder were they came from when in reality I hurt myself with the side of the table the day before. Then I blame the table for being bully story of my life. lol. I'm starting off my welcome back blog with another magical dress...Introducing Penelope... I had the courage to post this dress because it inspired me to add a little spice and bring a piece of myself to the blog table so without futher due I'll just get right into it....

I'm probably going to annoy the heck out of you but this is another Cinderella dress inspiration. I'm sorry I just love the classic fairytale and I did warn you about my obession with fairytales. I believe that life should be a fairytale in itself. I believe in the happily ever afters in life. I hope to someday find my true and enternal bliss. Everyone should be lucky enough to be happy with thier life. I know when you think about a Cinderella dress that you think of a big puffy dress but I wanted it to classic and timeless with the magical apperance of fairytale likeness to it. I wanted a fairytale dress with a modern twist so I gave Penelope a mermaid style shape. I also gave her a ruched top for a modern effect. I  put myself in Cinderella's shoes and I thought what would Cinderella wear in the 21st century, and this is what I thought of... Cinderella would wear her dress with a blue sequin skirt because it's out there, she's the bell of the ball, and because blue is her signature color. Cinderella would have a slit in the middle because we want to show off that beautiful baby blue tulle underneath the dress. I wanted to add a little lace at the bottom of the dress because I feel like lace represents innocence. And of corse can we talk about the bow in the back, yes I couldn't help myself with the bow I'm obsessed. I named her Penelope because I just like the name and I wanted to make this an orignial. I said at the begaining of the blog that it took me a lot of courage to post this dress because didn't want to be redundant and boring. Lately I've been in a bit of a slump and haven't been feeling like myself, almost as if I'm lost. I'm losing touch with who I am and who I wanted to be and this dress just spoke to me. I wanted something that represnented who I was, and this is it. I love Cinderella because she had to overcome a struggle in her life were people thought of her as a servant girl, or someone who was beneath them. She then realized that she had to have courage to disobey her step mother and go after her dream of meeting the prince and finding true love. I find Cinderella as a powerful character and a true role model for young girls.The message I'm trying to convey is that it's ok to go after what you want you always have to take big steps in order to find out who you are meant to be. I want to find who I am meant to be and in order to do that I have to be myself. Even if that means being my dorky self who just loves drawing dresses, fashion and fairytales. 

"Have courage and be kind." is what Cinderella's mother told her before she passed away. You must have the courage to be yourself, and always remember to be kind to others because kindness is like Karma what goes around comes around, so if you are kind to others you will always have kindness that follows. Bye readers.
