Pleated Maxi + Birthday Dinner

Dress: Shein
Bag: 88 Handbags (c/o)
Watch: Rumbatime

This past weekend, we celebrated my husband's birthday and we couldn't be more thrilled to be hosting our first major get-together at our new home. Since we knew that the actual date of his birthday was going to be hectic, I booked us a dinner date for two at Entree. This was a simple dinner to kick off his birthday weekend.

I also thought it was the perfect opportunity to wear my new yellow pleated maxi dress from Shein. I fell in love at first sight with this dress - something that I would say is quite rare for items of this color. But I always love how this color is filled with energy and a burst of life! And given that it was pleated too, I spent no more time convincing myself that this was worth the purchase! Since the color of the dress is already quite loud and commands attention, I kept everything else low-key for a simple dinner date. After all, the night wasn't about me but my husband who's celebrating his birthday!

What have you been up to lately?

  48. That dress is GREAT on you! I'm noticing a lot of other ladies rocking yellow looks this year. I've incorporated it myself with a few pieces this season; that and the current maxi trend are making 2016 great for bright colors and cozy comfort.
