I love the colours on this dress – they remind me of those pink and purple and golden sunsets that steal my breath away. The shimmering silk and feminine cut is very much “me” and this is my go-to dress for special occasions – formals and birthdays. This is one of those dresses that make me feel beautiful. To me, it is important that what I wear makes me feel good about myself. It is not about dressing for others’ approval, but putting in the few extra steps so that I know I am presenting my true self to the world.

I have very few v-neckline dresses/tops in my wardrobe – because I know I am never going to have the curves to make it work. Despite this, I couldn’t resist this dress and had to have it. I have added in this gold leaf necklace (which I pinned here) to provide a focal point centred above the v. V-necklines are a great way for short women to look thinner and taller – they help to elongate the neck and torso. What do you think of the results?

I rediscovered this high-low dress stashed away in my closet - just in time for summer. High-low dresses are surprisingly easy to wear - they are fun, create an interesting silhouette, show a bit of leg and help draw attention to your shoes! I have paired it with these bright wedges for extra height, a pop of colour and comfort (really good for walking on grass). I think the orange in the wedges really help to pick up some of the colours in the dress. And above all else, I love the swishing movements the skirts make when I walk.. makes we want to run around in circles haha.

Dress: Portmans

Today marks a small milestone for me - I survived a month at my new job and did my 10th post on this blog! Gonna celebrate with some ice-cream (of the peanut butter variety) and then it's study time!

Thanks for dropping by and as always, I would love to hear what you think!
