Lately, my choice in outfits goes somewhat like this: I open my closet, find the pair of shoes I haven’t worn in “ages”, then pick the clothes that can go with it (double score if it’s an item I haven’t worn for a long time!), and accessorize it. Ready! Maxi dresses that touch the ground can be tricky. I always wear mine with high heels, because I really don’t want my dress to get dirty, and then I usually lift it up with my hands a little bit when climbing stairs, to be sure not to step on it and fell flat on my face. Maxi dresses are perfect for the transitional season; because they keep you warm enough, and can easily be layered with a pashmina or a jacket/blazer. It was too hot for that though, so I just wore mine with a favorite pair of heels and my mint/floral clutch bag. Doesn’t it look great? I’ll be waiting for your comments! 🙂

Short formal dresses
Fall is officially here, which can mean one thing. The homecoming is near for our friends in the United States. It’s a really nice tradition that I unfortunately haven’t experienced myself, but we’ve all seen the movies, so we know how it goes. But every girl’s dream is all about the homecoming dance, and especially the coronation of the Homecoming Queen. And who doesn’t want to be a homecoming queen, really? I know I would! What a homecoming queen needs is the perfect dress, to look stunning during the dance. And today, I’ve got you covered.

Office chic in culottes | Outfits
Well, hello there! How are you my loves? I’m going to show you an outfit I had in mind for a long time now, actually since I got this pair of culottes, so I’m glad that I was finally able to photograph it. These pants definitely don’t photograph well, unless you’re into weird and unnatural poses (I played a lot during this shoot, so let me know if you want to see me being all goofy, so I upload proof on Facebook – hehe). The light also didn’t help, so we had lots of unsuitable photos, but that’s all right. At least I managed to find a few I liked. This look can be worn to go to the office (it will look as perfect with lower heeled shoes), or to a wedding/christening, with a smaller bag. I, being me, decided to wear it late in the morning to go for coffee in my town. No biggie! My friends and boyfriend are used to me always being overdressed. I do have my casual moments though, as you know. Anyway, enough written! Let me know if you liked this look, by leaving a comment in the form below.

Stripes & florals | Outfits
Stripes and florals is an unusual combination, but that’s how imagined wearing my long stripey vest for the first time. This is the 5th and last item of my order of last month, and I have endless combinations in mind for this one. It can be worn all year long, and I’m sure I’ll have no problem styling it again and again. These shoes on the other hand, are one of the pairs I failed to wear sooner this summer, so I imagined wearing them with this shirt. I know you’ve seen it recently, but summer will soon be gone, so I take every chance I get to wear my summer items more times. High-waisted midi skirts are perfect combined with cropped tops, so don’t be afraid to wear them together even if you don’t have abs. The key is to leave just a tiny bit of skin exposed in between these items. And it’s actually a trend I love since it really flatters my slim waist (abs can wait! 😛 ). Do you like this look?

Formal dresses for every taste
Last week, I talked to you about a new e-shop I found for formal dresses, called Formal Dresses Australia. Judging from the views that the post had, I figured, you’d wanna see a few more from there. From time to time I get a lot of emails from women asking me what to wear to a formal occasion such as weddings and christenings, and I’m always happy to help with their search because as you know I’m “living” for such events. I was actually thinking of writing some posts to help you choose the best dresses for you, on my other site, Stylishly Beautiful. I have some ideas, but they will have to wait for now.
