Because there's other important things I should be doing...

So yea, I haven't been blogging... bla bla bla! SORRY FRIENDS! I'm not that interesting though, I promise, so I'm done addressing that!

Welcome to blog post #3. This one has been a LONG time coming. I think this post was the original thought for why I should start a blog. So ready for it, guys?

Meet Allison.

Cute right? I meant the pup (kidding, well not really, Annie is SO TINY here, litttttleeeee babbbbbbeeeeeeeeee! ok ok, getting distracted).

And here is Allison again in her Lilly Pulitzer dress.

If you are unfamiliar with Lilly Pulizter, urban dictionary (an obviously credible source) defines Lilly as "preppy and waspy apparel at it's best," which is actually a pretty excellent description of Allison's style in general.

Preppy and waspy is generally not an issue for a girl living in North Carolina but Allison L-O-V-E-S all things glitter and as I have [rather astutely] pointed out in the past, homegirl can not pull off sequins.

And this is the point where Allison is reading this blogpost and makes the pouty sad-face because she knows it's true. Are you shaking your head sadly Allison?

I agree.

Because sequins are AWESOME.

Like, who doesn't love sequins?

Not someone I want to be friends with.

Check out this dress, so fun right?

And this blazer? LOVE this blazer.

But seriously, nothing compares to this beauty. I am currently trying to justify buying this dress. Which is hard since I don't go out anymore and already made my frivolous purchase of the week (hellllllo HotPants)

Of course, not all sequins are created equally.

This is what happens when sequins go very very wrong:

the. horror.

Even when done well, not everyone can pull sequins off and dear Allison is one of them. No offense Al, I'd look ridiculous in a cable crewneck!

But don't worry readers. Even though our gal Allison will never be able to pull off the beauties from before, I have scoured the internet and found some viable options for our sparkle-loving friend.

it's from Jcrew, so essentially it was made for waspy people who can't pull off sequins either

I'd so wear this.

When in doubt, there's always sparkly accessories. This pretty perfect clutch would look good with any ole Tory Burch cardigan (as long as you could lose the pearls for a day)

And last, but certainly not least, is this AMAZING dress that would look fantabulous on Al:

Granted it's over $900 and I can't imagine a single place that Allison could or would even want to wear this. It'd make for a badass alternative wedding dress but I've already planned her future wedding and it doesn't quite fit my theme.

And don't worry Annie, I didn't forget about you...
