Explore 2019: Fashion Reality Check

Confession time: as much as I love fashion and social media, over the years I have come to an embarrassing realization...that I have grown to feel like when I wore something that got photographed a lot at an event I couldn't really wear it again to something where I would get photographed again. Which is, like, so utterly ridiculous because hello, I'm not a celebrity, and even if I was, hello, clothes are meant to be worn more than once!

I'm still working on this though! Last month I found myself searching a bit for something new to wear to Alt Summit and then I was like, hey, I already have something perfect...a bright, happy dress (the Alt signature color in fact) that would not take up a ton of space in my luggage and, critically--since I was not staying long enough to even have a room to stay in!--would not require ironing!

I'm not saying I'm not buying new clothes for work events because I do love pretty new clothes, but I am going to embrace (repeatedly! lovingly!) the stuff I already have. And I got a ton of compliments on this dress!
