Hey there cutes, put on your dancin’ boots and come dance with me Come dance with me, what an evening for some Terpsichore Pretty face, I know a swingin’ place, come on dance with me Romance with me on a crowded floor
And while the rhythm swings What lovely things I’ll be sayin’ ‘Cause what is dancing Making love set to music, playin’
When the band begins to leave the stand and folks start to roam As we walks home, cheek to cheek we’ll be Come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me

When the band begins to leave the stand and folks start to roam As we wing home, cheek to cheek we’ll be Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on Come on and dance with me

Heaven I’m in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven I’m in heaven And the cares that hung around me through the week Seem to vanish like a gamblers lucky streak When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to climb a mountain And to reach the highest peak But it doesn’t thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to go out fishing In a river, or a creek But I don’t enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek
Dance with me I want my arm about you That charm about you will carry me through to…
Heaven I’m in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find that happiness I seek When we’re out together swinging cheek to cheek
Come on and dance with me I want my arm about you That charm about you will carry me through Right up to…
Heaven I’m in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find that happiness I seek When we’re out together dancing Out together dancing Out together dancing cheek to cheek!

Now the world is ready for you, and the wonders you can do. Make a hawk, a dove. Stop a war with love. Make a liar tell the truth. Wonder Woman, Get us out from under, Wonder Woman. All our hopes are pinned on you. And the magic that you do. Stop a bullet cold. Make the Axis fall. Change their minds, and change the world. Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman. You’re a wonder, Wonder Woman.

How to Rock a Superhero Tee in VIP Style:
1. Cassie’s Cute Cardigans: Pair a cute colored cardigan with a spectacular superhero tee for a superb look that will take you to infinity and beyond!
2. Jeanie’s Jamming Jeans: For a laid back look, layer a superhero tee with a basic black blazer and slip into your favorite dark wash jeans and flirty flats to create a look that will take you from casual Friday at work to karaoke with your best friends at the local café in a snap.
3. Fran’s Flirtatious Frocks: Flirt-ify a distressed superhero tee with a sassy skirt and splendid stilettos. This style is great for a dashing dinner party with that special someone or catching a movie at the matinée with a group of friends!

Hello, hello, hello, fashionistas! What about that Super Bowl yesterday? I am not a huge football fan; however, that was quite the interesting game! A power surge in the stadium, Beyoncé, and funny commercials-perfect way to spend Super Bowl Sunday (given that I spent most of the day in Nike shorts and a sweatshirt-fashionistas deserve to a lazy day too!) Anyway…we all know I am not here to talk sports! If I were…it would go something like this: Kick off, linebacker, quarterback, touchdown, go team go, cheer, chant, cheer, swing batter, batter, swing, homerun! Okay, now you all know why I am not a sports blogger haha! So, let’s get down to business! It is time to see what magnificent ensemble the VIP styled while shopping in her own closet!
As I was organizing my newly renovated closet…Yes, our house is still under construction, but the mess makes for fabulous pictures! I do not know what I am going to do when we actually finish the house…hmm…Anyway, as I was organizing my newly renovated closet, I stumbled upon a terrific pair of denim trousers! I had forgotten all about them during the move! So, without further ado, I introduce the VIP’s closet shopping ensemble! Whoo hoo!
