A girl can walk into our office with shredded denims and neon platforms, shocking purple nails or asymmetrical garments and yes, of course, I appreciate the fashion factor here, but why is it that the biggest 'ooos' and 'ahhs' always arise when a pretty dress walks into the office?  Why do we all huddle around romantic garments, bridal pieces and anything with a bit of lace?  What is it that creates this obsession with frills and pleating, with volume and movement?  Why do I keep being drawn back to pretty things, to sparkle, to embellishments and delicate fabrications?

 Is it our need to return to a femininity we have abandoned?
