The Dressing Table

I'm pretty casual when it comes to clothes (along with pretty much the rest of my generation). Its not uncommon for me to wear jeans and a t-shirt several days in a row. I don't wear make up or jewelry everyday and I'm glad I live in a time where this is acceptable. I'm thankful that I'm not excepted to wear a dress and always have my hair and makeup done. However, there is something romantic and uniquely feminine about these practices. I'm a girl after all and still love to dress up, just don't expect me to do it all the time.

Maybe it's because I've been spending a lot of time in flea markets these days buying silver platters and vintage jewelry, but I've become increasingly attracted to all things beautiful and feminine. I feel like it somehow connects me to the millions of women who've gone before me. That's why I love the idea of having a dressing table. It's a space filled with feminine charm that's dedicated to help you primp and dress, what more could a girl ask for? While I don't have one yet, here's some inspiration while I keep searching for that perfect piece:

    i think a dresing table is a great idea. it give you a chance to take five minutes for yourslef and od your hair and make up( if you wear any). but its also a place where you can put all your lovely jewellery and pretty boxes and all the things that girls like and that make us smile.

    I grew up with one. Since going to college and getting married I haven't and my appearance has suffered! (okay, that's an excuse I know). I have a pretty writing table in storage that when we move I might make it into a dressing table.

    I like the idea of a dressing table. I like the idea of being able to take the time to sit at one, too. Someday, maybe, it will be reality for me... :)
