One of my favorite things to do when I'm alone* is to put on music really loud and dance around like an idiot. I used to do this all the time when I was a teenager and last night I decided I was tired of being an adult so instead of doing anything productive (ie, dishes or laundry) I danced around. At one point I did attempt to do some laundry but it turned into more of a trying on clothes/dancing session which became counter-productive as most of the clothes I tried on were originally hung up and then ended up on the floor. 15 year old Melissa would have been proud.
(*I use the term "alone" really loosely because sometimes my friends and family are there when I have dance parties. I'm pretty convinced the faces they maks while I'm dancing are because they are jealous of my kick ass dance moves)
Ahhh! I also like to dance around and pretend I'm a 15 year old again.
ReplyDeleteOnly instead of my husband looking at me like i'm crazy, it's my kiddo.
Great, I'm already turning into "the "embarrassing mom".
love the skirt and love dance parties all by myself too, I have them on a regular basis!!

Dancing alone and blasting the radio is a GREAT stress releaver. Great advice from a 15 year old. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit as well.

I do this from time to time too. You should rock out to Tay Swift. She has great songs for dancing alone. That skirt is awesome on you, but if I ever attempted that I can promise you I'd look Amish.
ReplyDeleteLove the maxi skirt! And I hate doing laundry!
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit Melissa, that skirt is the most beautiful color and I am lusting over that necklace...you look gorgeous, you are such a good model, I always love taking pictures of you!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty stoked that you have dance parties sometimes, because that is a weakness for me too...I have had that "beggin'" song we heard at the Fashion Gala on repeat since that night, and have been bustin moves all over, much to my boyfriend's chagrin. We may just have to have a dance party here this afternoon! You look lovely as always!
ps. check out my last tweet, it is of us in front of the Mavi wall at the holiday party ;)

Bahaha, you are adorable! And I'm sure Mike is totally just jealous of your sweet moves! Too funny! I am loving your necklace here! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteSometimes letting loose like that is much needed though! Love the maxi skirt, Melissa!

Oh, I totally blasted my music and danced like a maniac too. It was a great way to exert energy. And I had so much when I was a teenager.
ReplyDeleteLove the long skirt. Your outfit is simple and glam.

I am loving maxi skirts this fall, and yours is the perfect colour. Love how you've styled it as well!
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit!
ReplyDeleteI love it because I'm wearing an almost identical outfit myself today. I'll post that pic in a few days. You look great! :)

LOL I giggled out loud, because I can so relate to this!!! There is nothing like the feeling of wiggling and bopping around to music in your house!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute, never lose the 15yr old you!

Haha I can totally relate to the crazy dancing... Except the bf and I do it together. If we're in a extremely silly mood ('normal silly' is our daily thing), we even dance to theme songs of TV shows. Yep, a bit crazy.
ReplyDeleteI was looking forward to seeing an outfit post with that beautiful skirt! I think you did a great job on the styling - the top and necklace are gorgeous.
See you tonight?!

Dance parties are THE BEST! My boyfriend and I have them quite often, atleast 2-3 a week it's the best way to let off steam!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous outfit, I never would have thought to pair a top like that with the skirt but it says a lot :)

ReplyDeleteomg i love doing that esp late at night. it's even better when you live in your own place now that you're an adult b/c there are no parents telling you to go to bed. the best.
ReplyDeleteI am so so so jealous you can pull off the maxi for fall. I feel like I'm too short to do it.
