Truth be told I am happiest when I "gussy up." Whether it be primping for a night on the town, creating a tablescape for lunch with friends, or adorning cookies with the perfect frosting... a girl just has to gussy sometimes!
Hope your week is going well! xoxo
Enter to win Seasons by Donna Hay... gorgeous recipes and photography.
Oh you know I sooo agree with you! Love this post :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI always imagine what it would have been like in, say, the 50s, when women really did gussy up. Imagine sleeping in rollers & wearing fabulous dresses... How fun! Ok, so maybe not the sleeping in rollers part ;-p
