Four Inspirational Dresses

I like to spend loads of time shopping around on websites that I could never afford a single thing on. Luckily looks are free so while I cannot purchase anything, I can fill my brain up with inspiration that I can share with you!


The Weekend Dress • CHEAP MONDAY // DARLENE DRESS • Simple soft and drapey this dress would go a long way as is, belted or accessorized with some fun jewelry. At $85 this is one dress I could actually afford.



The Powerful Professional Dress • GIVENCHY // TRIPLE GEORGETTE DRESS • This dress doesn't need much. Its strong lines and longer hemline make it perfect for that powerful professional.



The Party Dress • MARC JACOBS // DRAPED ONE SHOULDER TUNIC • This dress really needs no explanation as it basically looks like a fancy fiesta. I love hoe muted the rust colour is-- it makes the pop of pink so much more sensational.



The Simple Silhouette Dress • LANVIN // JEWEL BACK DRESS • If I had 1K to spare (hey, it's 70% off) I would drop it in a heartbeat for this dress. I love simple silhouettes. The back zip is a gorgeous detail. I'd definitely call this understated chic.

On a different note, I'm in California now with shotty internet so I've been holding off on posting anything. I graduated, ran my half marathon and am now just a few weeks away from the working world. Scary!

Egret Dress

Once again it's that time of year that we break out our spring and summer frocks. They're so easy to just throw on and easily become ultra chic with a pair of heels and a clutch. Here is my latest creation. I guess I'm trying to build my spring wardrobe.


My inspiration came from the simple chic cut of the many dresses on the SS 2011 runway.



Prints are also really huge this year and a great way to make a simple dress stand out.



I especially liked the back of this dress although this means I'll have to go bra-less (not an issue for someone with a small chest unless someone starts blasting the AC). Although I might invest in one of those cool low back criss-cross bras!



Some of you might know that I'm graduating in 2 weeks and will be moving on to the real world. Because of this you should be expecting more wardrobe building posts. :)
