HAPPY NEW YEAR!!, My fellow acquaintance's...woow! its been almost a month since I posted on here. Any way, be warned, that now am all settled in.. speaking of settling in.- I finally moved to a new apartment, my nostalgia is way overboard right now. I am slowly getting back into my mojo, and be warned...a lot of mysterious posts are coming your way. Talking of mysteries...today, am sharing this heart-rending number with yall. A new year, for me is really not about setting any resolutions, am about challenging myself to take new and harder risks, and be more open-minded. That is my goal, this new year...20- riskteen. Today's number is mystified- its not vivid to us what 2016 hold for us, and this is the inspiration. We set, goals, resolutions and say will do this and that, but we are not assured that this things will prevail.. regardless of what you want, its about faith, and unlimitation. On this gloomy snowy Monday morning, the fourth of January 2016, as I sit in my new living room...am willing to take risks, get things accomplished to my best ability and do all this in faith. This bright yet subtle orange dress was my mums favorite dress.. I still remember when she wore it to work with a black blazer, how stylish she was. How it perfectly matched her skin tone, and fit her like a summer glove. As I was wearing this dress, a feeling of reminiscent concealed me.. My purpose,- to share what meant the most to me. I paired this dress with a mini black clutch wallet that I got from Burlington. I designated some daily essentials in there, and I was all set. On my left arm I wore this brown wrist watch from wetnseal and last but not least I wore my mums single (40 something white bracelets) which I never take of. Just a side note, I have worn them consecutively for three years without taking them off. Suveniours are like air to me, especially those form my mother. In case anyone is curious my hair is by my beautiful twin sister, Melissa. Such a lovely trooper, I love her. Anywho, am not done here, as you know if you are a regular reader and follower of mine, you know I love suprises,.....and so does this gorgeous dress. Mirror, mirror on the wall...whose the ______________________ of them all? Voilà!!. Modest in front and a bombshell on the back... its like turning pages of a novel; and the expected main character dies...unpredictable...symbolizing more of taking risks. My mum knew her stuff. This serves multiple purposes; you can wear it to work, with a blazer on, and take it to a whole nother level by night with heels, beat face and dazzling jewelry. You know what I mean. Best for my working people out there. I wore this on New Year, and I felt like a princess the whole night; not because I looked dazzling, which I did of course..lol!, but because it carries a lot of sentimental weight...am not really sure where my mum got it, or if you can find it in the U.S, but there are definitely a lot of dupes which you can try out.. or DIY yourself. I love how flowy it is, and its overall structure...very comfortable and its not short. May I add, that this is the most skin I have shown in any shot...sorry if this is uncomfortable, cause I am seriously uncomfortable posting this. (My apologies :) Let's get to the good part.....the literal dissection. I always like to overanalyze things, and connect one thing to the next. Todays post is not only about cherishing our most precious memories, but incorporating them into our daily lives as well. I wore this dress and felt connected to my mother again, the memories of her wearing the dress popped up.. and allowed me to live in that moment. It's not all about the material things, its about the little suvenoiurs you have of those you love, regardless of where they are. Quoting one of my favorite artistic movies, " those who wonder are aimless, but those who are aimless wonder'. Hold on to those memories, signals and treasure like it was yesterday, dive through the deep seas of life with their protection, love and with them in mind... but beware;' hold on tighter and let go lighter... scratch that....never let go!!! While its the new year and many claim, 'never look back'.. I believe you should look back on the precious moments. Letting go comes with risks. Hats off, belts on, oxygen mask hanging lets get ready to fly through this new year...20-riskteen. I have faith, that its going to have full of surprises and mystical moments ahead. But with heads held high, keeping our suveniours alive we will conquer. SAs you can see am looking for the light at the start of the tunnel..it going to be an awesome year..and I can't wait to explore with you guys. Remember that you are beautiful, loved and cared for...HOLD ON! Something beautiful is on its way. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY// Love Mandy.
