Let\u2019s face it. We have all spent too much time at home in our pjs and joggers and we\u2019re craving for some good-old-times dressing up. I\u2019m here for it ladies! I\u2019m wearing my most lavish feather party-dress<\/a> to celebrate a dear friend\u2019s birthday, (when covid safety regulations allowed small gatherings). And I was there to party because if there\u2019s one thing the lockdown has taught us all, that is to never take anything for granted ever again. It is the time to reflect, evaluate, prioritize, appreciate and party hard whenever we get the chance to! I go for \u2018\u2019more is more\u2019\u2019 with any opportunity I get, I unapologetically own the look and dance the night away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose to wear this extravagant feather dress<\/a> because I honestly feel that it gives me wings! Wearing it empowers me. It fills me with the recognition that I can still play the game on my own terms, no matter the constraints, no matter the rules. And it, once again, highlighted how the things that are physically closest to our bodies \u2013 our clothes, (just like the people that we love, hug and kiss) \u2013 can dramatically change our mood, our attitude and eventually our perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter if there\u2019s no party going on at the moment, the ritual of going into my wardrobe and putting together an outfit, it\u2019s an event on its own right. And here\u2019s what I\u2019ve come to realize: that rather than being restricted by fashion during lockdown, I\u2019ve been emancipated by it. The idea of dressing for myself, with no societal dress codes or rules to follow, has become a revelation. It is the most liberating feeling of all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When everything around us is falling apart, dressing up is an act of revolution! The most glamorous, extravagant, voluminous and loudest things in my wardrobe offer me a hand to fight the lows of any situation. They become the bright anticipation that better days are coming. They became the wings of my imagination that transform my thoughts and lift my spirit. That\u2019s the power of fashion and that\u2019s one of the main reasons I so much love my job. It gives me wings and makes me fly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
