Are you feeling blue now that the 4th of July is over? Do you find yourself playing Stars and Stripes Forever on repeat? Oh, that is just me…….Anywho, I always feel this way after a major holiday, like coming down from a high. I call this a holiday hangover, also known as the holiday blues. We spent weeks building up excitement for one particular day and when that day is over what is left for us to look forward to? Our next major holiday is not until Halloween. Luckily for me my birthday is in-between the 4th and Halloween, but as the years roll on turning older is not something to look forward to anymore. So how do we get over the holiday blues?

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood and I am wearing my new favorite stripe dress. I am not even embarrassed to admit how often I repeat this outfit, even within a week. It is that good! It’s casual enough that I can wear it running errands and nice enough that I can wear to dinner and drinks on a rooftop. It’s for those days when you want to dress up while you are frolicking around the city while not feeling uncomfortable. I was looking for a nice dress that I can wear that isn’t too casual. The moment I saw this stripe dress from Sézane I knew I would wear it all the time.

Have you ever wanted to put on an evening gown and frolic around the city like you are in a Disney movie? No… just me? Okay then. Sometimes the only way to lift your spirits is by dressing up with no place to go. It’s like the scene from Friends where Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe wear wedding gowns while drinking beer, eating popcorn, and watching TV. I have ALWAYS wanted to do that in a gown. Well instead of being a couch potato I decided to get a fancy dress and have a little photoshoot…. because why not! You only live once and I had a ball doing it. I felt like I was waiting for a fairy godmother to tell me what to do…. still waiting. We used to play dress up as kids all of the time, why can’t we do it as adults?

Yellow is the color that represents happiness, friendliness, positivity, creativity, and hope. It reminds us of the sun beaming bright on a summer day. It’s made to grab your attention but to still be easy on the eyes. It’s a radiant, uplifting color that you should be wearing this summer. It’s proven when wearing yellow it brightens your mood and gives you energy. The color yellow is often associated with youth but I think as adults we need to wear this color more often than not. We need an extra boost of optimism. I know when I wear my yellow dress  I feel happy.
