I bought this dress when Vanna White wore it on Wheel of Fortune. I sometimes see Vanna wear gorgeous, shimmering dresses and take pictures of them to image search and find for purchase. This is one of those dresses. Apparently the job I dress for is game show co-host.
The moment I put this dress on, I got all the Frozen vibes. I love Frozen. Olaf, Anna and Elsa, the songs, the imagery. It’s one of my favorite animated movies in what is admittedly a long list. With the ice blue background and sequins in blues, purples, and silver, I really feel like Elsa would be happy to wear this dress.
Luckily, I also live in Disney country where dressing up on a random Sunday in January isn’t weird at all. Even better, I have a friend who was happy to play Anna to my Elsa, and even wanted me to bring my Olaf plush along for the most effect.
I paired my dress with shimmery silver and blue platform sandals, a dark blue bag loaded down with charms, and Elsa-esque pink eye shadow.
Several workers and quite a few tourists at the Boardwalk Hotel did refer to me as Princess Elsa. To say that made my entire month of January would be an understatement. It’s funny, I was never one for Halloween. I didn’t like dressing up or trick-or-treating, but now as an adult when I can do things on my terms, in an elegant way it really hits different.
Admittedly, this isn’t a dress I’ll be wearing all the time. It makes a big statement and requires an equally impressive occasion. It is, however, a dress I will always look forward to wearing again, in part because I love it, in part because I know it will be a special outing that requires me to find my inner princess.
