My Number One Fashion Rule


My number one rule when I go clothes shopping is to only buy things I would wear if I were in a fashionable country like Italy or France.  Imagine my utter surprise and delight when I received news from the wonderful blog escapade that I had won this oh so chic dress from their Shabby Apple giveaway.  And guess what?  It totally arrived on my birthday.  Happiness all around!


  I can totally imagine myself wearing this dress while taking a ride in a gondola, on my way to eat some fresh pasta and decadent dessert.  

If clothes don't make you dream of traveling then I don't know what does.
