A few things came to mind when I read Angie's blog post on Joy Per Wear.
One is a dress that I can't even remember when I wore it last. Looking at the posts linked to the Find, I see that I bought the dress during a meetup with Runcarla and Angie, 9 years ago!
When I put it on a couple of years ago during a closet edit, I felt so good in it, I could not let it go. I just feel like a million bucks in it. (I thought I would put it on and take a photo to share here, but I don't have time right now. But you can see me modeling it in
this post, when I first got it; I think I kept the size down.)
Along with the dress, I thought of a pair of black pumps that I adore. Again, they just make me feel beautiful, elegant, and a little badass when I wear them. I like them with the dress, although I have other shoes and boots that could go with the dress as well. And I have other items to wear with the shoes.
And I have acquired earrings and a bracelet that go perfectly with the dress. I have toppers that I can wear with it, since it's sleeveless.
Another item that brings a lot of joy when I wear it is a wool coat that I made. I don't have much occasion to wear it, but I do not see myself passing it on anytime soon.
