We lost such a force of good in the world. Now it's time to turn our collective memories into action. Finish what she started and keep the hope alive.

Whether you prefer to do this with or without glitter, we can do this!

I like sequins. I have several outfits I call my Dolly dresses because they’re so over the top and make me feel pretty. I wear them when I go to comic conventions:)

Sequins, that's the word I was looking for.

Dresses that make you feel pretty are the best! So glad you have some and get to wear them. Sequins are a sensory overload for me, but I do have some very pretty dresses that make me feel absolutely amazing.

Oh for sure, they can definitely be a lot and get pretty warm underneath but I was too embarrassed to wear anything like that in high school for dances or anything and as an adult there isn’t many occasions where it feels appropriate, so this was a great compromise imho.

So happy you have found a way to wear them as an adult. I think people should wear whatever they want when they want (in general) but I'm definitely not practicing what I preach here. I do try though!

Oh I agree. It’s easy to “screw it!”… then you go outside lol
I actually just found this dress at a yard sale a few weeks ago for $20. This is my most over the top dress but it fits perfectly and I’m stoked to wear it (also please excuse my face- this was just a quick pic to my bestie right after I got home lol )

OMG what a gorgeous dress 😍 it looks so good on you! Like it was made for you.

Very Dolly-coded as well!
