Shut Up and Drive

Last time I wore this dress I wore it without anything underneath (except some underwear of course). I wasn't sure how it would look with pants because I'm not a big fan of the dress over the jean look or whatever, but, I was surprised how girly the look turned out to be. It's my father's 57th birthday and I wanted to look like his little girl!

So I'm watching the U.S Olympic Trials, and I can't help but reminisce my days as a hardcore athlete. Daddy's little girl was the little (tom)boy he never had. Well I do have an older brother, but he's not into playing sports (Unless you consider video games a sport--hah, it could be.). I guess the fact that I was an athlete fueled my inner-drive to succeed at anything I put my mind to. Anyhow, there's something about competing to be the best in a particular sport that gives me an adrenaline rush similar to the one I get from watching the creations of Giambattista Valli stomp down the runway. The way I see it, winning a competition is just great gratification that all your hard work wasn't for nothing. What gives you your inner-drive?

  1. Acheiving high marks definetly gives me that drive, seeing as I was never particularly good at sports. I like the dress over the jeans quite a bit. (Happy Birthday to your dad!)

  5. I love the leaping 'peace sign' shot and that you were a hardcore athlete (who like to fart).

    The knowledge that I'm right drives me on and on and on!

  8. Without anything underneath? Wow, you're brave haha. The outfit is really cute and I think the dress is short enough to pass for a tunic so it works! You look lovely as usual dear :)
