If you’re following me on Instagram, then you would’ve seen me in this dress already! But I got soooo many questions on it, I thought I’d give you some more details via a blog post! It was my birthday, so I went a little Hollywood Retro Glam, for the occasion.
This red sequin number has been in my closet since 2014. I had it custom made when I visited Nigeria during my holiday that year. At the time of making it, I had no specific occasion to get it for, I just wanted a one shoulder sequin evening gown. Because I’m Karese and I knew I would need it. I’m a little over the top that way. So there it’s sat for the past two years. Fast forward to 10/28/2016, my 33rd birthday, I had to wear it. I mean how much longer was it gonna sit there?
33 for me signifies a new beginning, my personal new year. The double “3” digits mean I am reaching a higher level of self and awareness in my spirit. I am so proud of myself this year, for chasing my dreams, and going hard in my “Year of Yes”. I felt good about myself, my body, and where my career is going. This is one year I can truly and honestly say I was HAPPY on my birthday! Life is short, we have to be grateful for all that we have, I know I am!
So get out that dress that you’ve been saving in your closet for that “special occasion”, and wear it like there’s no tomorrow! Make any day in your life a, “special occasion”!
