If thereβs one thing you should know about me; itβs that Iβm a classic girly girl. My favourite colour is pink, I love getting my nails done and I believe thereβs nothing that a cute outfit wonβt fix.
I have a particular love of pretty dresses. My favourite thing about summer is getting to finally bring them out and dust them off. Interestingly I have exactly 27 dresses (my favourite romcom!) if you donβt count the two rompers. I have a dress for pretty much every occasion and Iβm very proud of my collection.
I believe that my true personality comes out when Iβm wearing my dresses.
I love bright colours and bold patterns (particularly floral prints). I prefer shorter dresses so you can see my legs but not too skimpy. Anything off the shoulder or with lace. Long sleeves or sleeveless. I have casual stay-at-home dresses, cocktail dresses, beachy dresses and everything in between.
- Beachy
- Cocktail “little black dress”
All my dresses are worn with confidence and purpose. With the right jacket, shoes and a bag, you got yourself a picture-perfect outfit (in my view).
Iβve never been one for following trends and some of my dresses Iβve had for years (Claudia classics, if you will). The key to shopping for a good dress is as simple as the lyrics in Ariana Grandeβs song; 7 rings: βI see it, I like it, I want it, I got itβ.
I make sure I like the dress and that it fits (obvi). I then try to imagine where I would wear it, and if thatβs more than once (we not out here buying clothes just so we can wear them once!). I also try to buy dresses that arenβt too similar while still sticking to my own personal taste.
Itβs a sad time when summer ends. Iβm truly going to miss wearing dresses every day.
Now, I know you might be thinking; βgee Claudie, whatβs the big deal? Theyβre just dressesβ
βHush!β I say. They are more than just dresses. They are my confidence cloaks!
You see, I feel at my most confident self when Iβm wearing the perfect dress. Like I said, I have dresses for all occasions and once I put on that dress for that occasion, Iβm ready to go.
If itβs a fancy cocktail dress, Iβm ready to drink and socialise. If itβs a casual stay-at-home dress, Iβm ready to lounge outside in the sun and read. If itβs a comfortable and smart dress, Iβm ready to go to uni or get some work done. My dresses work like magic for me.
And to be quite honest with you, I donβt really need to explain how it works, it just works. The more important thing is that I think everybody has that one thing that works like magic for them to get them in the zone. Maybe itβs a particular ritual or music or make-up.
Whatever your βthingβ is. That thing that makes you feel confident or in the zone, find it and use it!
That is the message I want you to take away from this girly girl and her 27 dresses.
