What I'm Wearing | Light & Dark Lace


BLOUSE: c/o Beginning Boutique | SKIRT: Taiwan | SHOES: target | CLUTCH: H&M 

I can definitely say that this is one of my more feminine looks. Even though pink and red can be feminine, sometimes it's the fabric that changes how the look is perceived. I mixed a lace overlay skirt from Taiwan (that I finally fit!) with a nice pale pink/beige blouse from Beginning Boutique with an awesome zipper down its back (forgot to take pictures, will next time!). 
My hair was in a bun for most of the day, but I let it down and it became wavy (as in the first few pictures).

Be PROM PERFECT


GRECIAN GODDESS
When it comes to long prom dresses, I usually steer away from anything that is anything like this.
I'm a firm believer in the power of a simple dress.
Due to the basic (though beautiful, of course) nature of the gown, make sure to add sparkling accessories to finish your look! 
(all items are LINKED, just click!)

LOOK 1
Aidan Mattox dress
Dannijo earrings
KOTUR clutch
Vince Camuto shoes
LOOK II

Banana Republic clutch
Jean-Michel Cazabat shoes
LOOK III
Halston Heritage dress
Erickson Beamon earrings
Monsoon clutch
Office shoes


LOVELY LACE
Lace is a tricky textile for longer lengths, so go for shorter hems in these intricate dresses. Due to the complex nature of the fabric, accessorize accordingly with a simple clutch and heels. 
+All of the pieces I picked are SUPER affordable--everything is UNDER $100!!!
LOOK 1
Beginning Boutique dress
Dorothy Perkins shoes
ASOS clutch
LOOK II

Lovely People shoes

LOOK III

COLOR CODE
One of my favorite ideas for prom is pairing a simple, block colored frock with an outstanding necklace that ups the whole look.
Keeping the other accessories relatively neutral makes sure that the look is not too fussy.
All pieces are also UNDER $100!!!
LOOK 1

Resort '13 | Paris Kickoff


CHANEL
Japanese influence (? I presume) intermingled with Parisian frills made this collection bizarre yet fascinating. I especially loved the faded florals, voluminous silhouettes, and the crisp whites in the last pieces. 
BOTTEGA VENETA
Muted pastel hues and easy elegance are perfectly balanced in this collection


Before the flurry of Resort'13 arrives, I'd like to do a quick post. 
I've been super busy with APs, schoolwork, college business, and tons of other things, so as you can sadly see, I've been unable to post.
Hopefully after this week, things begin to cool down and I can re-focus on blogging!
