every cloud has a silver lining

















H&M Garden Collection dress. Gap vest. Unknown socks. Geox flats. Gifted jewelry except elephant ring which is from Aldo. Vintage belt. Michael Kors watch.

This outfit makes me think of that old saying, "every cloud has a silver lining." I remember first hearing it in some cheesy pre-teen book. At the time I never thought much about what it meant, or if it had any meaning at all, but now I think it's a saying that we should all apply to our lives. Life never goes as planned, and there will always be moments that stop us in our tracks, but we cannot lose the hope that there is something better not far along. Even during the most stormiest of days, there should still be hope that a ray of light will peak out.
Therefore, this dress with all it's frills, and my silver vest and socks make me feel like I'm a cloud, drifting along peacefully.
(When I was little I used to dream about being able to sit on a cloud and read books. I still think that if it was possible to do that, it would be really incredible. But unfortunately science puts a stopper to that dream.)

Your dress is beautiful - I love the frills! And the elephant ring is absolutely adorable. I've been looking for a piece of elephant-themed jewelry of my own for the longest time just so that, if anyone ever comments on it out of the blue, I can claim that it was an irrelephant comment. :)

Also, you never know - maybe one day science will shift its focus from miniaturizing cell phones and get to work on more, ahem, pressing matters - like cloud-sitting technology. I know I'm, personally, still waiting for the hoverboard Back To The Future II promises me every time I watch it.

ah, you look aammmmazing! Your outfit definitely exude some sky-like optimistic vibes. Adoooore.

And I agree everything that we're saying! I think we're always caught up in the little bubble of the life. the reality is, there's SO much ou there. The world doesn't revolve around us. We have to keep perspective and realize that things will be okay - if we let it.

Gorgeous dress. I also used to dream about sitting on clouds. It seems like it would be so peaceful and relaxing all the way up there.

By "cheesy pre-teen book", do you mean "The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes?"
