So Blue, So True

Dress- Bill Blass (Thrifted)/ Belt- Gifted/ Shoes- Jessica Simpson/ Necklace- Forever21/ Earrings- Thrifted










***UPDATED 07/21/2011****
This is one of my favorite thrifted pieces! I got this from the Goodwill in Dunwoody, GA. Be sure to head over to Everybody Everywear to see everyone's favorite thrifted finds.

There is something so liberating about living in truth.  Living in truth is about being your authentic self despite perceptions and expectations of others.  The only way to live such a life is to truly understand who we are first. 

Reflect on this:
  • Who am I?
  • What brings joy to my life?
  • What do I contribute of value to the lives of others? 
  • What do I represent both in the presence of others and alone when no one is watching? 
Own your existence with the understanding that we get another chance each second to  reintroduce ourselves to the world in a spirit of truth.

    This dress is amazing...especially the cut out in the back!

    And yes living in true is very liberating...it makes you feel free. If you're not true to yourself who will you be true to?

    @Frannie Pantz Thanks so much. I am beginning to fall in love with navy. I find that is such a great alternative to black.

    Bill Blass. Thrifted. Peek a boo back. Flowy (sp) fabric. I'm in love. The shoes and necklace were just the right touch. I'd love to wear this to a evening dinner.
