Ballet Style

It was so much fun dressing up as Black Swan for Halloween this weekend. And I realized the ballet aesthetic doesn't just appeal to me as a costume. In one way or another, I've always admired the look of dancers: their strength and grace, as well as their style. I love ballet flats, swishy skirts, off-the-shoulder tops and wrap sweaters. I like pale pinks, soft whites and pretty grays, and anything that shows off the collarbone or back. So gorgeous!

Just Dance

A beautiful thing happened years ago. I realized the pure joy of dancing was more important than whether I might look silly at times doing it. So now I dance whenever and wherever I get the chance. And this weekend was a fantastic chance. One of my closest friends got married, and she put together an incredible playlist for the reception. We all let loose on the dance floor for hours. It was so much fun! It felt so incredibly good to move my body, connect with music, laugh with friends, express myself and live completely in the moment in this way. And it's part of this milestone in my friend's life that I'll always remember. Dance on!
