Striped Midi

Stripes is a universally liked pattern that has proven its timeless appeal over and over again. Thus, I always try to add one striped piece to my closet every season. This season, I have finally found the perfect striped piece to add to my wardrobe. I was initially drawn to the pinstripes because it adds a lot of subtle elegance to the dress. I scored a jackpot on this one because I found a vertical striped with a midi length too!

I instantly envisioned wearing this dress for a vacation. It is so easy to wear, comfortable and effortlessly chic. My new retro cateye sunnies from TSG Shop is the perfect accessory for the dress. I love that the sunnies provided the style statement for a classic dress! This is exactly the same reason why I love cateye sunnies - it makes quite a compelling style impact! If you love my sunnies, don't forget to check out TSG Shop on Instagram or check out their official website here.

Earrings: Mod & Soul (c/o)

I've previously talked about Minkpink as one of my favorite fashion brands. This dress is one example why. It combines my all-time favorite (floral) with my current favorite (midi). When I first saw it on Shopbop, I was slightly intimidated by it. Orange is definitely not my color. But there was something about this color that also drew me to the dress. It is called a Tropical Dream dress and with full certainty I agree.

The slit on the sides of the dress is just a bonus! A few weeks ago, I also featured a slit dress from Zaful. I love how the slit detail adds a subtle sexiness to a simple dress, even casual dresses. The dress also stays true to what Minkpink fashion is about - bold, bright statement through color or print!

Plaid Midi + Lace-Up Espadrilles

In the summer time, I like to keep my style easy and laid back. It starts with choosing pieces that are made of lightweight materials like this flowy plaid midi dress from BB Dakota. I have wanted a shirt dress for so long but I could not find the style that I want. This button front midi dress is the next best thing to a shirt dress. Even though I am a maxi lover at the core, I have gotten to appreciate midi dresses as of late. They are proving to be as versatile as maxi dresses are in terms of being able to dress them up or down. I got the dress in small but it appears longer to me as I am petite.

Lace-Up Espadrilles: Soludos

Watch: JORD (c/o)

To complete my casual summer look, I need an equally comfortable pair of shoes. And what better type of shoe to wear than espadrilles? I've been seriously lusting over all kinds of espadrilles this season - espadrille flats, lace-up espadrilles, wedges espadrilles, and so on. This pair from Soludos (and it's only $55) was the ultimate choice because it is versatile enough to be paired with a few other summer pieces in my closet. It's a must-have if you are looking for a new pair!

Midi vs Maxi + Featured Blogger at WIWT

What is a better choice of clothing to wear during the hot spring and summer days than dresses? Personally, I am all about maxi and midi dresses. When it comes to style, these two types of dresses are effortlessly chic and stylish. But the unparalleled level of comfort is something worth noting. 

Shops like Forever 21 have a host of these dresses to choose from. If you’re ready to stock up on new maxi and midi dresses, I’ve got quite a hefty selection for you. But I’d like to take this poll: are you into maxi or midi dresses?
