Simply Sophisticated

I’m a sucker for a great fit & flare dress and this one is absolute perfection – I mean, how stunning is this floral print?!  This is such a flattering silhouette, just the right length & it’s fully lined.  I love the little cutout details in back and, because this is a racerback cut, they added those hidden bra strap stays so you can wear a normal bra without having to worry about the straps showing.  I personally feel like every dress should have those sewn in! Other styles that I saw & loved were this floral dress, this lace dress & this LBD (so chic!).

As I was browsing through the new arrivals, this striped maxi skirt instantly caught my eye.  It’s different from anything else in my closet and the draped fabric gives it such nice movement.  Even though the shape is somewhat sophisticated, I think the bold nautical stripes give it a laid-back feel.  Like the dress, this is also fully lined but very lightweight & easy to move in.  For reference, I’m 5’8″ & wearing 4″ heels here so you can better gauge the length.  If you’re worried about the horizontal stripes adding width to your frame, this maxi skirt is similar, but has small vertical stripes.
