This month, I have been basking in the glow of people’s achievements (myself included). I am seriously living vicariously through the many friends whom I know culminated their studies, received new licenses, upped their knowledge further through school, and those who just head on followed their dreams (case in point–me and this blog!). On a more sentimental note, the month of May also marks my 2nd year serving JFK’s hall of healing, something I thought could not be achieved on a very challenging unit.:) This is indeed a month of celebrations.

On the subject of celebrations, a friend recently asked me for advice on what to wear on her graduation party. Truth be told, eventhough I secretly dream of becoming a stylist, I have never actually styled someone other than myself (as unbelievable as it sounds). But, if I was a full time PCA (patient care assistant) and worked my way through a Bachelor’s degree in nursing while juggling family, work and studies (yes, I am talking about you Claudia *wink*), I would wear something along this number……

I don’t know what my obsession in lace is but lately when I decide to wear one, I could hear my dad or brother’s teasings in my head…and they are actually right. Lace when worn incorrectly, you could either risk looking like you’re about to sleep or you just yanked a piece of your curtain (for lack of better words to describe my point haha).

This dress however speaks positive volumes. It is saying “Wherever I am now, I worked hard for it” and that reason alone earns you the right to look good and feel good, like you are on top of the world.:)

Simple yet elegant, this dress can be worn for a full day affair. If the heels can no longer support your weight (because that graduation cap got too heavy from representing the knowledge you gained maybe? *wink*), you can easily slip in a gold pair of thong sandals for more comfort and you will still look fab.:)

And I would just like to add that since starting this blog, I have received nothing but positive vibes. No feeling can surpass that of being appreciated for doing something you love no matter how mundane it may seem.

This month definitely deserves celebratory drinks!

To the class of 2014 (including those who pursued their dreams), congratulations!

Go ahead, let us all bask in that glow (even if you are outside an abandoned building LoL) because we deserve it . 🙂
