Lady in Waiting

For Christmas, my daughter got me this vintage victorian style dress form. And my first thought was "what will I do with this?" Its SO cute , and it totally suits me and my bedroom decor. I ended up putting it right near my bathroom mirror, and now I use it as my jewelry storage. Every day, I get to pick and choose from pieces of jewelry that are right at my fingertips -- no digging through some dish on the dresser. Instead, things are hanging right there, ready to try on with my latest outfit. (OK, maybe its overkill to try and match jewelry to my work uniform!) But I have all this neat stuff to wear, and never wore it often enough -- I didn't want it to get ruined at work. But why have it if I'm not going to enjoy it???

Life is too short not to enjoy some of the nice things we have. Rather than saving them up for some special occasion (that may or may not happen), why not enjoy them every single day?
