I recently joined the latest fashion craze of maxi dresses. Though this isn’t technically a new “fad,” as I do recall Lauren Conrad wearing them last summer/spring. (Although, isn’t it always summer in CA!)

ANYWHO! I live in this dismal state of NY, and would hate not being able to wear my new dresses at least in the fall and spring. I mean, that’s a huge waste of money if I can’t figure out how to wear them as much as possible, right?

So, I checked out my trusty Yahoo! searches, and found the following link on One Chic Mama: How to Wear Your Maxi Dress into Fall. I must say, this is a rather interesting blog post, and I do think I’ll have to check into some boots or something. Goodness knows I can get the most from my dresses for at least another month or so if nothing else.

Well, I can’t drink it, so it’s good to know I can use it for something! 

“Vodka has been enjoyed since at least the early Middle Ages, and is well known as one of the world’s most popular spirits. Its versatility in mixing and high alcohol content have made it extremely popular in cocktails, and it is still widely enjoyed ‘neat’ (straight up) in much of Eastern and Northern Europe.

Vodka also has a long history of use as medicine, having been sold by druggists to cure everything from infertility to colic and the plague. While some of those historic promoters were half-cocked, it’s true that vodka has a wide range of potential uses beyond serving as a relaxer and social lubricant. 

Why would you want to do anything else with vodka but drink it? It is widely available, effective and less toxic than many of the chemical alternatives you might use for these tasks.”
