colorblocking



 
 

I’ve always been drawn to colorblock pieces but if you take a peek at my closet, all you’ll find are floral/graphic  and plain dresses.  If I am remembering correctly, this dress was an outcome of what was supposed to have been a window-shopping  trip that was incited by my extreme nervousness from my sports team losing in the finals, hence my altogether complete avoidance of being near a TV. Lol. I figured, “just” trying on dresses might be a good distraction. Well, I ended up picking this up over a much desired floral dress because I wanted to try something new and the two teenage girl cousins I was with at that time said so. No regrets ever since! This dress garnered so many compliments that I never want to let go of it! Even when I am old and gray…. And probably will not fit into it. Hahaha! I hope y’all are having a good week!

Thank you so much for reading and see you on my next post!

  2. Perfect! The style of the dress suits you well, I like how it has a deep v-neck and I love the added yellow and white stipe. The skinny belt adds to the glamour. Gorgeous shoes too.

  14. You are so sophisticated and polished! (And I am so jealous! ha ha!) Mango has such great pieces- I wish I had a local store. And I absolutely LOVE the nail color you chose- it's the perfect complement your outfit!
