It’s a new dress that I bought from ModCloth. It’s short sleeved, A-Line, and plaid with muted rainbow colors. Wine, Rust, Smokey Blues, and Grey.

The skirt really makes my imperfect waist look quite lovely. And for all the muted colors in the dress it makes my red hair really sparkle.

So today I curled my hair, cowashing first, then scrunching in the mousse and letting my hair plop. All that stuff I learned on the curlygirl subreddit. It looks quite fresh and shiny and healthy now that it’s dry.

Then today I put on lotion. All across my smooth legs and arms. I did my whole skin care routine, sunscreen on the top. Then I put on pink lipstick, mascara, perfume, and pearls for jewelry. Even a light bracelet.

My navy blue wedges have a four inch heel and I look like I don’t have care in the world.

But now I feel better. I can see my fresh face. I can see my figure that I really put so much effort into. I can smell the perfume. I feel better.

I don’t always wake up in a good mood. I don’t always wake up bright and ready to face the day. But a little self care and a fun dress can really help me get out of my head and back into a better mood.

So join me ladies! Put on a dress.
