Anyone here agree with the title of this post? I don't know what is it about tie-front details that appeal to me. But I figure it's probably the casual appeal it adds to an outfit. This top from Dresslily wasn't exactly a tie-front top but I decided to undo some of the buttons at the bottom to be able to tie them together. It is fun to reinvent pieces from your wardrobe and create a totally different look than what it is designed for.

This top wasn't a favorite of mine when I first got it. I got it initially because I loved the color. But I'm slowly warming up to it especially as I discover new ways to wear it. But this one is my favorite styling idea yet. I'm pretty sure this won't be the last time that I will be sporting this look... but will probably switch out the heels for a pair of strappy sandals or flip flops!

What are your thoughts on tie-front details? Love it or hate it?

Working with Chicwish was a long-time dream of mine. The website is one of my favorite online shops on the web. If you happen to visit their website, you'll see for yourself why. It is a hub of all things pretty - tops, dresses, and skirts. This particular skirt that I am wearing today is from Chicwish. It was love at first sight with this skirt!

I've always been a fan of mixing bold colors together. Color blocking might be a trend of 2015 but it has never really faded from the fashion scene. When tastefully done, it can even look elegant. That is the idea that I was going for when I decided to pair my red top with this dark green maxi skirt. It is no secret that I love adding a pop of color to my outfits but pairing two bold colors in one outfit takes it to a whole new level. 

Like I said, Chicwish has a seemingly endless array of pretty skirts. Below are just a few of my other favorites:

Emerald Maxi Skirt / Stripe in Blue Cotton Midi Skirt / Lollipop Color Block Midi Skirt / Midi Skirt in Rosy Brown / Pleated Midi Skirt in Sapphire Blue

Bright Florals

Dress: Minkpink c/o Shopbop
Tote: Kate Spade c/o Shopbop (blush is sold out but available in other colors)
Sandals: Sammydress (c/o)
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!

Keep it Short

When I am not in the mood to wear a dress, I usually reach out for shorts to wear when I am out and about. I love that there are more options for shorts available these days apart from the traditional denim shorts. In fact, some short styles are dressier and can therefore be worn with a more dressed up outfit paired with sandals or heels. Whatever your style is, it's hard to deny how comfortable shorts are.

If you want to be inspired or simply want to try out something different than your usual short styles, I've curated some of my top shorts looks from the past:
