a dream is a wish your heart makes

Guess who just booked a trip to Disney World!! It's a long way away, but me and my mom will be in the happiest place on earth next April. I had really wanted to book a trip the same week as the TCM Film Festival next year since I didn't want to return, and I knew that seeing all of my friends enjoying the festival without me would very much bum me out lol. I just don't enjoy the festival that much anymore and it's SO much money for what I get out of it. The last few times that I attended I kept thinking that I'd much rather spend my vacation money on a Disney trip instead--- so that's what I did!

Anyway! A few months ago I mentioned that I had a pink polka dot dress that I had wanted to wear in Disneyland, and this is it! Eight months isn't too early to start planning what you'll wear on a Disney vacation right? Because I'm tempted to slip this in my suitcase right now.

pink all over

Well, my bus trip was QUITE an adventure! We had such a bad experience with Greyhound that we got off the bus early, in Ohio, and rented a car to drive the rest of the way to Wyoming. Then we got a bus to Denver and flew home from there. Once we got off the bus, despite all the financial setbacks that came with rearranging our transportation, we did have a really good time. I LOVED Denver. I would 100% move there if I could afford it (I actually looked up apartments and it costs the same for a 1 bedroom in Denver as it does for a 2 bedroom in my why-would-you-even-want-to-live-here New Jersey suburb! I still can't afford either of them, lol, but I thought that was interesting!) And Cheyenne was so nice, too! We were there the longest since that's where my brother had his job interview, and I loved the weather. It was so windy I had to change from a Very Cute Dress into my travel leggings but I honestly loved it. It was such a different breeze from NJ, it was so soft and it almost felt like I was swimming in air!

Well, I better go -- I have to finish getting ready for my art show! I'm still trying to finish some paintings and then I have to pack up the car and (the most stressful part) pick out what I'll wear! lol!

I found this dress a couple weeks ago when it was on sale even cheaper than normal (Amazon was doing one of those lightning deal things) so I stocked up and got it in a few different colors. I've been rewatching The Mindy Project lately and I'm obsessed with the way that she layers her clothes. She wears a lot of sleeveless dresses with button-up shirts underneath, and it's made me really want more dresses that I can mix-and-match with. And these are perfect for that! I also found these v-neck versions and I'm tempted to just get the whole rainbow lol!
