Just a little peeky at some of my revamped brooches that will be for sale in my Etsy Store  very soon! More colors, more cuteness and lots more dresses. Also in the works, LBD ( little dress bookmarks) for all your reading needs.

Thanks to my wonderfully talented sister Hilary, and her big win as the 2011 H&M MMVA fashion blogger, my closet become a little fuller this past weekend. With $250 dollars cash to spend on WHATEVER I wanted ( it was also payday so I did not feel guilty IN THE least) I found 5 adorably cute and wonderfully amazing dresses that normally I may not have splurged on. I mean the most expensive one was only $60 and that’s hardly a lot for a beauty dress…so you might say I used my gift thriftly and wisely.

Zara seemed to be a hot spot and I snagged 2 dresses ( one black one red.) as well as a pair of red sailor inspired pants from Zara girls ( I love being short for this reason only).  

At Forever 21 ( which is a hit or miss from season to season) was a HIT and I purchased a cat patterned dress and this lovellllly lace dress pictured below. How this was only $27.00, I don’t know. All I know is that is has a peter pan collar and it’s mine. Twill post the others in time as they are worn. It is the season of dresses.

I love dresses. If my closet were to have explosive diarrhea, the majority of clothes that would be expelled would be dresses. Some girls have an affinity for shoes, mine is for dresses. I have dresses that I purchased purely for the fact that they were beautiful, with no intention of even wearing them. I have dresses that I only wear ONCE a year as to not over exert their appearance. I have dresses that I wear 5 times a month because they are just so darn comfortable.  It can be an expensive collection at times, but nothing beats the feeling of adding a new dress in my already stuffed closet.

Here are my top 12 favourites, in no particular order:
