THE DRESS THAT SPEAKS VOLUME

A DRESS THAT SPEAKS SO MUCH VOLUME, IT'S BOUND TO BE A CONVERSATION PIECE!

 WHEN THIS DRESS CAME IN SHIPMENT FROM MY JOB(ANTHROPOLOGIE) WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! WASN'T SURE IF I COULD GET AWAY WITH THE LENGTH....BEING THAT I'M SHORT IN HEIGHT WISE. PART OF ME WAS LIKE...PARDON MY FRENCH—"WHAT THE HELL ALISE, GIVE IT A TRY WITH HEELS ON!" OF COURSE IT WORKED! CONVINCED THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT HOME!

I JUST LOVE THAT HINT OF GOLD EMBELLISHED DETAIL AROUND THE NECKLINE AND TRIMMING OF FLOWER PETALS THAT ADDED A LITTLE STATEMENT TO THIS NEUTRAL-TONED MAXI DRESS! EVEN MORE HAPPY THAT THE GARMENT WAS LIGHTWEIGHT! WITH A TWIRL AND A WHIRL, FELT GONE WITH THE WIND FABULOUS IN THIS MAXI DRESS!

DRESS VS SKIRT

I SURPRISE MYSELF EVERYDAY WITH MY FASHION SENSE! ALWAYS TRYING TO CREATE A LOOK THAT'S TRENDY AND SHOWING VERSATILITY IN ALL MY GARMENTS!

TOOK JUST A SIMPLE SKIRT AND REVAMPED IT INTO A STRAPLESS FLOWY DRESS! HOW CREATIVE IS THAT?...RIGHT? #SKINNYGIRLCHRONICLES....AS A PETITE AND SMALL CHESTED FEMALE, I DECIDED TO BRING THIS LOOK TO LIFE! HAD NO INTENTION FOR MY CREATION TO HAVE A PRETTY DOPE OUTCOME...BUT "WITH FASHION, ANYTHING GOES!" SO I TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT! THOUGH I SEEN THE LOOK IN A TOP VERSION, RARELY SEEN IT IN A DRESS FORM. WHAT BETTER WAY TO FABRICATE THIS SKIRT INTO SOMETHING ELSE! 

THIS STYLE MAY COME OFF DIFFERENTLY ON SELECTIVE BODY TYPES, BUT THERE WAYS TO ROCK IT THAT MORE SUITS YOUR SHAPE.

FEMALES BODY TYPES:

Small chested female with heavier bottom frame.

•Belt the dress(wide belt) to show a slimmer look.

Heavier chested female with smaller bottom frame.

•Do the same look(with a thinner belt) that give off shaping.

BACKLESS...

GOING THROUGH YOUR CLOSET, YOU LEARN TO APPRECIATE THE CLOTHES YOU HAVE AND CAN REVAMP IT EVERYTIME YOU WEAR IT! 

THIS PEWTER COLORED DRESS HAVE BEEN IN MY CLOSET SINCE 2008! YEAH....I KNOW, YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING WHY I STILL HAVE IT!...LOL. PIECES LIKE THIS, IS A GOOD ESSENTIAL GARMENT TO HAVE AND NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE BARE BACK! IF ITS ONE THING I LIKE TO EXPOSE ON MY BODY, IT'S DEFINITELY MY BACK...WHICH IS MY FAVORITE ASSETS. 

SEXY BARE LOOK AND SOFT SILHOUETTES ARE ALWAYS A GO ON A DRESS! FOR WOMEN THAT DOESN'T LIKE THEIR BUST EXPOSED, WEARING A DRESS OR ANYTING WITH BACK OUT ITS MORE TASTEFUL! GREAT FOR A DINNER DATE OR PARTY WITH YOUR GIRFRIENDS!

IN MY CASE, FOR A MORE CHILL LOOK BY ADDING MY CHUCKS TO DRESS IT DOWN.

SPRINKLE OF PAINT

ITS LIKE PAINTING A PRETTY PICTURE! DENIM SPRINKLED IN PAINT IS ALL THE MORE FUN! 

ITS FUNNY HOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING OLD AND NEVER WEAR IT UNTIL YOU RECONSTRUCTED IT! THIS WAS THE CASE ON MY DENIM SKIRT. I HAD IT FOR A YEAR AND DIDN'T LIKE HOW IT LOOKED ON UNTIL TO ADDING A DETAIL OF PAINT TO BRING OUT AN ARTSY AFFECT TO THE MIDI SKIRT. SOMETIMES ONE MUST PLAY THE DESIGNER AND ADD TO AN ARTICLE OF CLOTHING FOR A MORE UPDATED TRENDY FINISH!

FOR A CHILL DAY, WANTED TO THROW MY FAVORITE WHITE CHUCKS INSTEAD OF A HEEL. ADDING A GREEN DRESS TO HAVE IT AS A TOP, MADE IT MORE FUN AND INTERESTING TO PLAY AROUND WITH!

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

 BE ARTSY FOR A CREATIVE LOOK IN YOUR WARDROBE!
