Living Life Fearlessly and Without Hesitation
Let me introduce you all to this silent gem of a dress.

It has been a serious minute since I last posted so please pardon my absence. My blog started to kick off right before I started my new job and since working, I've found it to be extremely difficult to physically and mentally get back into the groove I once had.
