Hello my beloved readership,
the second favorite dress of the spring season contains volants. And because a skirt and a matching top is just as good as a dress see how to use it.
Friends may be our family by choice (read here about this) but we must not forget that a family is perfect by the capability of having a dispute but falling into each other’s arms in the next minute.
Those of you who know me know that I have a big brother with whom I do share a close relationship. I am very thankful to have him and, that for sure, I would not change him for the world! But as us human suffer from the weakness to want something we cannot have (greetings Good Charlotte) I have always badly longed for having a sister. A twin-sister, a little sister, a sister, simply. And even though with my husband I kind of pretty much have it all in addition to my brother I am gifted that with our wedding I got the opportunity to have that sister I seemed to have wished for. That not enough with all ups and downs I am additionally gifted to have met certain people in my life who fulfill and return that role of the sister (big and little) better than I could have dreamed of it.
These ups and downs are what I would like to take up in this context. I know, that what you are going to read sounds foolish to you but I did think that once it did not work out well with these people that that would be it and the siblinghood is also down and gone. I imagined that if the friendship or bond is so strong and well-going that we can consider each other siblings the chemistry should be at 100% and nothing could come in between. The more paranoid I became when things were everything but that. I just had to remember my actual given relationship with my brother, husband and family I was born in and realized that a true relationship is never flawless and completely peaceful as it may seem. Siblings do go separate ways at times but their bond is unbreakable and for each other they are the strongest shield and best uplifter. This is what a true, healthy and good relationship is for to this the differences stand by at hard times against the rest.

How To: Alternative Dress
Even in the means of fashion we know familyhood – the state of being together or belonging to one and the same family – either with items such as dresses and skirts or colors and different shades of the same color. When you cannot have a dress, a skirt and a matching shirt on top are better than any short-living investment and any dress. Once in the German version of the investment show “Shark Tank”, “Die Höhle der Löwen” (Engl.: the cave of the lions), a start-up wanted to present an alternative for dresses in a more practical way: dresses that are separated in the center. The beauty-queen among the investors, Judith Williams accurately stated and saw through that this “revolution” is nothing more than a skirt with a shirt.
If you want to keep some space in your closet and money in your purse for something more worthy which is very recommendable in this fast-living business of fashion and trends coming and going you can look for alternatives and create them with what you already have within the fashion-family. Even if they are not exactly the same they do belong and harmonize together, just like siblings.
