I loved this dress from the first sight. I knew it would help me achieve a vintage look without trying hard. Since there are a lot of details on the skirt, the top has to be very simple to bring out the skirt. Skirt: H&M Conscious Floral Full Skirt
Top: H&M Tunic (purchased during the summer sales for $5) Earrings: Pearls Earrings Shoes: Ellen Tracy Peep Toes Heels Scarf: Jcrew Navy Blue Polka Dot Scarf Earrings: Betsy Johnson Oversize Rosette Earrings Sweater: Forever 21 Sweater in Nude color Skirt: H&M Teal Midi Skirt Tights: Jcrew Factory Tights (love them so so much) Booties: Coach Booties I went to an Christmas Event at Church, and took pictures with our Santa Claus in Asian version. He was so cute that he was willing to take pictures with me :) Pearl necklace, black mini dress worn as a T shirt, and red jacquar skirt for dinner at my crime buddy''s house made a very classy look. I bought this black minidress from H&M during their crazy sales last summer for $5. This skirt was bought in Vietnam for 250,000 VND which equal to about $12 USD. I borrowed my friend's necklace. The total cost for this look was just $17 which made me extremely happy!!! I was lucky to find this dress on sales couple days before Christmas. I love its lace, very elegant but not delicate like the common problem we have with lace. The length is my favorite, and the style is very classic. This color is perfect for Christmas, but I would love to buy this dress in nude as well, before my size is gone. Besides the delicate fabric that I am afraid of lace, it is a challenge when we gain a little bit of weight. You don't want your dress to...tear off when you are dancing. For this reason, I especially love this dress that it has stretchy fabric on the side, which works well to great a slimmer effect.
Dress: H&M Vintage Lace Dress Belt: Red Floral Belt (old) Shoes: Clear White Peep Toes (Ebay) Knowing that a lot of people would wear red to church today, I wanted to dress my family something different that it would still pop, but can easily to blend right in this atmosphere. Fuchsia was the top option, and the little girl love pink. I have a fuchsia coat from J.crew which was perfect for this theme. For the bottom, I chose White House Black Market Midi full skirt. It looked like it had lace details, but these were actually printed on the skirt. I hate wearing lace when I was with the kids because their shoes would damage lace fabric easily. I had been in love with gold glittered shoes and I couldn't wait until today to wear them. Sweater: The Limited (old) Necklace: The Limited Necklace (old) Skirt: White House Black Market Midi Full Skirt (on sale from $119 to $59.99) Shoes: Marc Fisher Gold Glittered Peep Toes Coat: Jcrew Bag: Prada Saffiano Tote BN1786 in Graphite I originally wore a different skirt this morning to work. However, it was a split skirt, which wouldn't work for me being the host for a Christmas party at my house. I needed to be as comfortable as possible. Therefore, the need of having to watch the skirt every time I sit down or stand up would be a nightmare.
Of course, I had to dress up for the party. Midi length, floral print and full skirt are always my top choice. I got this dress a while back, and don't wear it as much because I got it during the last week of the summer. As I wore this feminie skirt, I paired it with a pearl headband and a black crystal necklace. This white sweater from Forever 21 was so soft and looked much more expensive than its $13 price tag. Vintage Floral Boat Neck Dress Perfect dress for a wedding
Strapless blush dress from H&M Conscious Collection. I love the fitted belt and how the pleats start slower. This created a unique and classy look for the dress. If you want it to look extra vintage, add a belt like I did. I wore this to my cousin's wedding and got tons of compliments on it. A lot of people could not believe it was under $100. I was sitting at the receptionist table and handling out wedding favors. This dress did a great job in putting me into spotlights :) In collaborating with the bride, my cousin, I wore an ivory pair of shoes. Love the feminine look of the ruffles and bows. |
