The Little Black Dress Obsession

As told by yours truly

The Little Black Dress Obsession

The Little Black Dress changed my life; let it change yours, too.

I would hate for this to come off as the epitome of girly articles, but the Little Black Dress (LBD) holds a very special place in my heart and it should in yours, too.  Being a girl, I am partial to dresses, not only because they make me feel pretty but, more importantly, because I am quite impartial to pants that are not Norts. My closet is filled with all kinds of dresses, from maxi dresses and sundresses to formal dresses, I have them all, but if you look closely, you'll notice a black hole in my closet. 

The amount of black dresses I have is a bit excessive. They sit there all beautifully clumped together on their hangers in my not-so-spacious bedroom closet. I can't pinpoint exactly when my obsession started, but I quickly grew fond of the LBD. This item of clothing is such a staple in my wardrobe for many reasons and I would be happy to share them with you. Hopefully I'll inspire you to start your own collection.

First, the LBD is a classic. In my opinion, you always look much more put together in a black dress. Whether it's a nice scalloped shift like this one (but in black of course,) or a simple black sundress, you're sure to look like you didn't just roll out of bed. 

Secondly, the LBD is flattering, for the most part, on anyone. We all know the Freshman 15 is a real thing along with the Sophomore 30, and maybe even Junior 50 (yikes!), but luckily you're sure to look like you're fresh out of the gym in your LBD.

My last selling point for the LBD, is that it is so simple in every sense of the word. If you don't feel like wearing pants to class (which I'm always guilty of) just throw on your favorite comfy black dress and go; add a necklace to dress it up a bit for a night out. Honestly, the Little Black Dress is a necessity in every girl's closest, so go get shopping!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
