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.
