Fancy word every girl should know: resplendent
Why I chose this fancy word:
I have been savoring this word as I heard it while watching Kate and Leopold over Thanksgiving break and A. didn’t know what in the world it meant and B. thought it sounded pretty fancy. Since looking it up, I’ve found myself trying to use it whenever possible. I mean, who doesn’t love an elegant way to add a shiny new word to their vocabulary?
