I want you guys to do something with me.
Post a picture of yourself wearing something that makes you feel amazing. It can be past or present or hypothetical or whatever. But let me see a glimpse of the clothing that makes you completely gleeful and giddy.
My answer?

This was taken when I was about seven. I’d been dancing since age 3 or so, but it was only my third or fourth time dancing onstage. I loved the idea of wearing sparkly things—so much, in fact, that I’d regularly gotten into trouble before for stealing sequiny evening gowns from my mum’s closet. Now, though, I had something sequiny that actually fit me. And the back of this amazing thing was made of stretchy lycra, so I was able to keep wearing it as I grew, until I was too old to play dress-up anymore.
Okay, kids. Your turn. Don’t let me down.

My 2-year-old is going through a stage wherein she just wants to wear her “dancing girl” all the time. Meaning–billowy skirts, ballerina tutus, mommy’s scarves tied to look like a gown–anything that can spin!
