Chambray Skater Dress

Dress and earrings, H&M. Heels, Steve Madden. Ring, Rachel Roy. Ankle bracelet, self made.

I have been eyeing my boyfriend’s chambray shirt for quite some time now. Yet I cannot come to terms with the fact that it won’t fit. While I was hoping to wear it as a dress and cinch it with a belt no matter how much rolling up and tucking in that I do it just does not want to cooperate! I was pretty bummed about that until I realized that I have a chambray skater dress sitting in the closet. Sitting and waiting patiently for its turn to see the light of day. Although initially I was going for the casual/boyfriend look, I’ll settle for this feminine silhouette instead.

Wishing you all a fabulous week!

Grecian Maxi Dress

Dress, similar. Leopard pumps here. Ring, here.

What I love about maxi dresses is just how easy it is to create an elegant look with one piece. Or, you can dress down a maxi dress if you wish based on your shoe choice. I have worn this dress once in the past with gladiators and I found that it really complimented the Grecian maxi dress inspired cut. However this time I opted to dress them up a bit with a pair of Steve Madden leopard pumps.

Another thing I adore about this dress is the plunging neckline as well as the way the fabric flows. Do you prefer to wear your maxi dress casual or dressed up?
