I found this dress at a sample sale in Australia. The brand is called Sabatini White. I loved this dress and wore it many times. It’s a little more wintery because of its thicker material even though the top is sheer. It has tulle underneath which gives the bottom a fuller look. I believe my friend Belle Johnson turned me onto the brand. She was always very fashionable.
when I tell people I lived in Australia for 6 years, their eyes widen. To me it feels like a lifetime ago. I was 23 when I moved and 29 when I left. I was full of hope and energy! Lately I feel a little more hardened by the world. The news is heavy each day and most people I know feel burdened and busy, like they’re just trying to get through each day. Personally I don’t think that’s how we are meant to live. I used to travel a lot. I was always on the go, exploring and having new experiences. I went to New Zealand 4 times and each time was amazing. It’s such a special place with so much culture and beauty. It’s entirely different from Australia, but a short flight away. When my mother and I went to Bali in 2008, we met a NZ based news anchor at a cooking class. I stayed in touch with him and was able to stay at his home when I visited Auckland the following year. I like taking people up on their offer to stay over! Hopefully they mean it :) I’m glad I did so much traveling when I was younger, even though my career hasn’t had a straightforward trajectory like many of my peers. I learned so much about life through my travels. These days I’m working on a number of creative projects. I’m also singing again. I hope to do some open mics. I realize I have a lot of fear inside of me. Fear of failure and fear of being behind. Fear of getting fired from many of my jobs. but I’m finally pushing myself harder than I ever have before and I have to believe it will be worth it. It’s already worth it because I can feel myself growing. It’s painful and scary much of the time, but it’s progress. I’m also happy to have so many pretty dresses to show off here. It’s a good feeling. Dressing up has always brought me joy and made me feel like the best version of myself, even when I didn’t always believe it.
