Zaful Cocktail Dress

OUTFIT DETAILS

When it comes to shopping for cocktail dresses, I prefer short dresses and those with a fit-and-flare style. They are the ones that can be easily transitioned into more casual outfits so that you can get more wear out of your cocktail dress. For special occasion wear, it is always an issue of practicality. Like most women, I would not want to invest a lot of money on a dress that I probably won't wear again (or at least not too often).

This is why I instantly knew that this dress was a must-have when I saw it on Zaful. The color, obviously, is a favorite of mine so it did not take more convincing on my end to get this dress. For this look, I decided to dress it up with a pair of nude ankle strap heels and statement necklace. But I also plan on wearing it with a pair of strappy flat sandals or even sneakers!

Again, Zaful exceeded my expectations and as I have a few more orders from them on the way, I can't help to get excited about them!

Trend I Love: Tassel Sandals

Tassel sandals or fringe sandals - whatever you call it, you know it's cute. It also adds that "little something" to your summer outfit. If there is one season wherein footwear is a crucial element of your outfit, that is most evident in the summer time. The combination of the chic-ness of the strappy sandals with quirkiness of the tassel/fringe details encompass what my ideal summer style is. It should look effortless but fun and festive! If you haven't started your summer shoe shopping yet, here are some that you should add to your closet:

Black Tassel Tie Sandals / Black Lace Up Espadrille with Tassels / Tribal Inspired Tassel Sandals

Nude Suede Tassel Sandals / Boho Camel Thong Sandals / Cute Taupe Sandals

Thaikilia Gold Wrap Sandals / Keely Blue Lace Up Sandals / Schtuz Flatform Sandals

What is your footwear of choice for spring/summer?

Spring 2017 Color Trend: Primrose Yellow

In this post, I've discussed Greenery as the 2017 Pantone Color of the Year. However, Pantone has also released its Spring 2017 colors and I will discuss some (if not all) of them in my blog showcasing you different ways in which you can wear these colors. In today's post, you will find some of the hottest items from one of those colors: Primrose Yellow. Yellow is not a breakthrough color for spring or summer. But primrose yellow invites you with its instant warmth. It also exhibits characteristics of heat and vitality, which are all consistent with the season! This joyful shade will surely inspire you to explore the warm, sunny days of the season with enthusiasm.

If you ever need some spark of energy, you should definitely don this color this season! To shop my favorite primrose yellow pieces for spring/summer, you can check them out below:

Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone

OUTFIT DETAILS

"Great things never came from comfort zones."

I love the quote above because that speaks a lot about my life choices and how it empowers one to take a courageous act. I therefore apply that same mentality in my pursuits in life, and that includes my fashion choices. Whenever I am introduced to a new company or website, I always keep an open mind. While I do have my fair share of favorites, I am not scared to try a few new ones from time to time. Unlike cosmetics wherein I tend to stick to the ones that I have tested and proven effective, fashion can be a little more forgiving. I'm glad I took a chance with Yoins. This cobalt pencil skirt that I got from the website has been one of my favorite skirts of all-time. And it's not just because it's in cobalt, my favorite color!

This skirt offers many opportunities for styling since I've already talked about how versatile pencil skirts are (and why I love them) here. This one is no different. This styling idea is great for a more dressed up yet casual look for the summer. Since this skirt is of my favorite color, I am excited to check out other styling ideas with it. What other styling ideas would you recommend I try with it?
