I would like to go on record saying that Retrolicious (by Folter Clothing) is a terrific brand.  ModCloth carries a lot of their pieces, and they always have the most fantastic prints -- and this cat dress is no exception!  This dress is actually the exact same style as this dress that I wore for Thanksgiving, and I really love the shape.  I've also worn their other designs here, here and here.  Their dresses have a little bit of wiggle room too, which I like (for vanity's sake, I enjoy when I can wear a medium in a dress that doesn't necessarily have a ton of stretch), and even though they're bold prints, they can be casual.

This ring was a gift from my ex.  It feels really weird to be wearing it, but I also refuse to not wear something I love just because the person who gave it to me no longer wants to be in my life.  Yes, it's sort of painful to wear a reminder of my heartbreak, but I think it actually helps me accept things, rather than avoid any kind of reminder of what's happened.  I'm doing much better than I was even a few weeks ago though, so I have to feel proud of myself for that.  I still get sad and I still get angry and I still mourn -- because it's a great loss, and I have to deal with that -- but when I have little victories, they should still be celebrated.

Have a great Monday!
