Today Coral and I went to chapel hill to visit our dear friend Laura and browse some of the cool vintage shops over there. I ended up getting an adorable vintage 70's sheath dress at this deck store called roulette (def a must visit!) The owner was explaining to me that the dress had most likely never been worn. It got me thinking about the 30 odd years the dress had been stashed away in someone's closet and all of the things that have happened in the world since. Two particular ideas hit me here: 1.) don't stuff yourself and your beautiful talents away for no one to see. Also, 2.) It's never too late to get out there and show your stuff... I mean who could have guessed that this hidden gem of a dress would be discovered over thirty years later by a young person excited to wear it and bring it back to life? There are not only second chances but third and fourth ones too! Every time I see my dress I'm going to try and remember this, as I need to be reminded often to get out there and share myself with the world.
