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

B&W Chic

Houndstooth is, and will always be, one of my favorite patterns to wear. Ever. I love the simple sophistication that the pattern brings to an outfit. Hence, this pencil skirt that I am showcasing on the blog today is an all-time favorite simply because it requires little to no styling. In fact, I love this look that I have for you here because it speaks about the kind of style that I always strive for - simple elegance. 

I bought this black ballerina top from HerBench and decided to pair it with the skirt for a B&W look. A pair of statement earrings helped to break the monotony in the color. Meanwhile, the neutral heels added a touch of glam to the outfit. 

Are you also into houndstooth print?

 

Hi-Lo Glam

Being a girly-girl at heart, I always love dressing glam. I grew up trying on heels and pumps (oversized at that) and wearing my mom's tops as dresses. It was fun while it lasted! However, I never grew weary of dressing up... in fact, it becomes even more fun now that I get to choose my own style and I get to provide a glimpse of who I am with my fashion choices.

This hi-lo Hard Tail dress from ThredUP called for another glam moment for me. I was previously skeptical about the hi-lo trend (never was a fan to begin with). But I am not one to say "no" to something without at least giving it a shot. 

The dress is made of cotton so it has a super comfortable feeling when worn. It was a bit flouncy so I added in my braided belt to cinch the waist. Plus, the golden floral hollow necklace from Persunmall helped infuse that delicate touch to the look. My pink neon pumps, however, provided some fun contrast with a pop of color.

Tribal Maxi Dress

For someone who loves cobalt, I was over the moon when I saw this tribal print maxi dress at SheInside. As a bonus, it's a maxi dress! There was no way I wasn't buying this dress especially at this price (hint: I got it for $16 only!).

When it arrived in my doorstep, I was ecstatic. The dress was the perfect fit for me. Even the length of the hem was exactly right - no need for adjustments. I paired my look with my Celine flats and mint clutch for a fun and colorful look. I can say it was a fun marriage of colors!

How do you glam up a maxi dress?

PS - The boyf and I are celebrating our 8th anniversary today so I might wear this dress again for the celebration. Follow me on Instagram to see what I'm up to on this anniversary/birthday weekend!
