Embrace the Curve: Maxi Dress Season

The maxi dress has been the cornerstone/premiere item of the spring/summer season for years. Women love it because its simplicity in outfit planning as well as the reduction of putting various pieces together. Men love them because they hit all of the right spots, emphasizing the fine creation that is the female. Maxi dresses have stood the test of time and now emerge in various lengths, sizes, shapes, and colors. Today's outfit was centered around this beige maxi dress I scored during a women's fellowship event at my church in Bushkill, PA. Once a year, we clean out our closets and bring them in for our sisters to peruse and "swap" out for the treasures we find in their closets. I think its a fantastic idea, and I haven't been disappointed yet.

This dress was great for my spring maxi dress season, as the material wasn't as light and flowing as a summer maxi. I almost steered clear of this dress because of how close it was to my skin tone, but then I decided to go for it, and wasn't disappointed. So many of my fashion mentors have told me to always try things on, because you just never know.

I really enjoy the dress due to the ruched/gathered detailing in the front. It created a nice bust line along with this chunky gold necklace.

I paired the dress with my moccasin heels from eBay. These heels and other fringe/moccasin details have become all the rage the past few seasons, as outlined in this post.
Put together, the ensemble gave off this Glamazon boho look that didn't disappoint.

OOTD: Detailed Skirts

Good evening all! As the warmer weather approaches, I've pulled out some of my favorite skirts from the past few years. I'm not much of a dress wearer (unless in special occasions), but skirts allow me to dress up or down, while still bringing a feminine allure to any outfit. This particular skirt is from a few years ago at Forever 21+. It features some tribal yellow print details, and some slits on each side that reach up to the thigh area. The skirt features an elastic waist, which makes tucking a shirt in really easy and seamless. I paired it with my distressed jeans jacket, also Forever 21+. My fringed purse is from H&M, and I finished it off with my chunky heel from Charlotte Russe for an ultimate boho chic Sunday look.

OOTD:Fringe Details

Today I was feeling a bit boho. Fringe details make me feel free,exotic,and open minded.It's my favorite. And it's making some major appearances at Spring Fashion week 2016,proving itself to also be a very daring look when done right. 

Similar/Similar
I decided to go with a this poncho for a softer look. It's a cotton blend with some detailing across the front. This one came from Walmart. It was only a couple bucks. Underneath I have a cami from Forever 21. It's a satin/rayon blend that doesn't have as much stretch as a normal Cami. I matched it with these pumps from Charlotte Russe. 




This tribal fringe inspired necklace is also from Forever 21. Here are some similar pieces here and here. 
To finish off my fringed/distressed look, I threw on these jeans from Haute life plus. They're really stretchy,so when you order,go a size down.

Fringe is most definitely in. It's covering our purses,dresses,and even our shoes. My newest fringe addition will be featured in a post soon.
