Throughout my youth (from the late 80s to the early millennium) I was a huge fan of velvet. It was riddled throughout my wardrobe, and my favorite things were my purple and black velvet dresses. After high school ended, it kind of went off my radar. I thought it had gone out of fashion, and though I’m not one to follow trends, I couldn’t bring myself to wear it again–until now.
Okay, so this one’s actually velour, not velvet. But I have another velvet dress on the way, and I’m glad to see that velvet and velour are back full-swing (outside of frumpy track suits). I bought this on a whim, and I haven’t felt so happy with an outfit in years. It was so simple–but wearing this tunic while running errands, riding buses, grocery shopping, and going to school kept me happy the entire day. I didn’t want to take it off. That is how clothes should make you feel.
Sorry for the lateness. Next week I’ll be posting photos of my Halloween costume. Hope you can’t wait. I can’t. Enjoy dressing up.
