Know I Lived and Missed Some Bullets
Um. Hi? Is this thing on?
I know I’m a little late for the party. Frankly, I don’t know what I’m doing posting on here, aside from maybe testing the waters. To be honest, I doubt that I have any plans to return to regular blogging here at Closet365. Although I have been making some half-hearted attempts over at All The Pretty Dresses. Blogging is strange territory for me these days, although I miss it dearly. It’s just hard to say what you really want to say sometimes, and so I opt to just keep quiet.
Still contemplating a new blogging avenue. As much as I hate to keep switching venues on those of you who are kind enough to follow along, I think I may have a lead on a permanent place of residence. I don’t even know. We’ll see. Why did I come here again? Oh yes…
True story. Being that I’m in a new place and still have yet to meet a lot of new people to do fun stuff with, I neglected to make real plans for the Fourth of July. Which is a real shame when you consider that I bought this dress back in oh…November…for the express purpose of wearing it today.
We have previously discussed my affinity for festive attire, so it should come as no shock that I fell hard for this little number, even back then. It was winter and I was selling off old clothes, which I no longer had the room or heart to keep. But this dress whispered promises of a better tomorrow, or at the very least a fashionable and exciting summer.
Cut to today, when I’m sitting alone in my apartment on my computer. It is about 100 effing degrees outside and then some. I’m also tired and cranky and don’t feel like going out to find fireworks, even solo, which I usually don’t mind. Still, I really couldn’t let the dress go to waste. If you can’t rock a dress like this on Independence Day, the really, when can you? Pssh. That’s what I thought. I mean, what was I going to do. Just sit at home and wither from lack of compliments on my fun dress? I think not. So when all else fails and you find yourself without the means to show off your festive duds? Just take pictures of yourself and post them on the internet. Duh. That’s what I’d do anyway.
So really, this is just a post to say hello. And I miss you guys. And Happy Fourth of July! I hope the summer is treating you well. Let’s keep in touch!

I am feeling the festiveness of this dress, I love the different ways that people rock the red, white, and blue on the 4th!
I hope you find a good blogging venue soon
I’ve missed you and your adorable outfits! Blogging is a strange beast and I understand not quite knowing how to say certain things. I hope you find your place soon.
That really is a fabulous dress and perfect for the Fourth! You look awesome.

Hi! I had just found you and bookmarked your blog right before your “break”. I still check it regularly and was pleasantly surprised to see you posted again. Yay for me! (I check my fav fashion blogs if i get a chance during my blah job (sigh)) Hope all is well. Do help me find you if/when you move onto another venue.
thx for the inspirations! u have been missed.
Yay! Your back…even if only briefly! Your dress is completely adorable! I’ve always admired people who get all snazzed out for holidays. For some weird reason, I’ve always rebelled against it. But you, my dear, look adorable. I hope you are enjoying your new place! I hope you don’t disappear for too long this time.
