Once upon a time.....

Once upon a time there was a little girl {me} who sat on her bed  and sobbed. Now you may be wondering has her dog ran away or has her turtle died?? No not the case here, her tears were falling over a heather grey jumpsuit that she had just received as a special gift from her mom. There was nothing wrong with the jumpsuit, in fact it was perfectly appropriate for a girl her age, however the little girl dreamt of other attire which involved tassel cowboy boots and jean skirts! It was from that day on that the little girls mom let her choose her own attire and loved and supported her through all of her fashion stages!

I told you this story so that you could understand how much fashion has and always will be {sorry Shawn} a part of me. I believe that I was simply born that way. So if you find me ranting and raving over fashion this and fashion that you will understand!! Mom I am so sorry if I hurt your feelings over the outfit, now looking back it all seems so silly yet I can clearly remember how very real it was for me then.

From the moment I saw this dress online at Shopbop {very dangerous!!} I LOVED everything about it, it's ethereal quality, the colour and the overall airiness. When I found it on sale at Sak's it was over, the dress was going to be mine!! Now if only I could afford the Jimmy Choo's to go with it.... a girl can always dream!! Here is my Nanette Lepore Butterfly Net Dress {I even love the name!!}, followed by a picture of yours truly donning it for the first time. Thanks to Kurt for taking this shot of me.
