Dressed In Black

In today's post I am wearing this amazing dress from Fashion Nova Curve  I have to admit that I have never tried a dress like this before but I kind of love it!  I love the way this dress hugs my curves and I love the peekaboo strips in this dress! This dress is called the Side to Side dress and you can use my code ONTHERUN for a discount! 







As I was taking pictures today, it reminded me of the song Dressed In Black by Sia. I didn't know this song until someone I used to know shared it with me. I still remember driving around listening to him sing it. I remember downloading it after that and now I am always reminded of a time when life was good and fun and easy. 


I love this song because she talks about how she basically is getting a second chance at life and at love. Some people think her feelings come from being sober and having a sponsor while others equate it to love. I am a hopeless romantic at heart so I equate it to love. How amazing to find that love after you've given up and thought life was going to pass you by? 

While I no longer am close to the person who introduced me to the song, I will always remember feeling that way. Feeling like I had a second chance. Thankful for the chance to have a broken heart healed. Thankful for second chances. You broke down the walls and covered my heart in kisses. You found me in the back, dressed in black. 

Life is what we make of it. While dwelling on the past isn't good, remembering people or things or events who made you better is definitely something to think about every once in a while and smile. 

Thanks for sharing in my nostalgia today! Thanks for reading and following along with me!

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps...

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princes...
