What a lovely dress!

For those of you that know me, I'm not much of a girly girl when it comes to fashion. I don't wear much make up if I even wear any, I don't wear dresses or skirts that often, I lean for comfort above fashion anytime (think comfy shoes and pants), and the list goes on and on. Lately I've decided I want to change that a bit. I want to put a little more effort into "dressing up" or whatever you want to call it. I bought some new makeup (but need lessons how to apply it), I bought some new shoes, and for my birthday with a gift card from Kohl's I bought myself a new dress.  Well today, since it was supposed to be nice, I wore my new dress.

I must say I do love the pattern. (I've always liked a nice pattern) I got lots of compliments today and made sure to say Thank You (another thing I'm working on is accepting compliments. All too often I skip the honest Thank You and feel like I have to justify or explain.. like Oh, I like that dress followed by Well I got it on sale kind of thing instead of just a plain old fashion Thank You.) Several times the dress was called lovely (which struck me as a unique word but I liked it.) I'm going to definitely have to wear the dress more frequently. It's a fun summer dress and according to popular vote, it's just lovely!
