Based on my clothing choices, I’m pretty sure I’m meant to live in a fairytale and not in real life. Remember this outfit when I also decided to dress up like a modern day fairytale princess? I guess I couldn’t get enough of fairytale dressing just once. But in my defense, this blouse from Chicwish is actually named “Like a Fairy” on the website, so I couldn’t help myself. This really is the most romantic blouse I own, from the sweetheart neckline to the dramatic ruffles and billowy sleeves. And not to mention it’s white, which just adds to its dreamy effect. I kind of want to wear this blouse on a first date just to see my date’s reaction. I feel like it would be such a showstopper and unexpected first date look.
Since I am all about color, of course I had to pair the white blouse with something colorful. The dramatic proportions of this top called for something a bit more streamlined underneath, so I chose a pleated A-line skirt to help slim the waist and hips. I absolutely love this bold blue floral print contrasted with the white top, I think it’s a winning combination. To add length to my frame, I went with pointy toe vintage heels to balance the midi length of the skirt. I am also totally digging my festival inspired ombre and tribal nail art from Akiko Nails. This is my second time getting nail art from them, you can see the first time here. I thought the ombre design would be simple but little did I know it is actually one of the most complicated designs! In order to achieve the ombre effect, the nail artist has to slowly layer on the color with a sponge; I’m pretty sure we did at least 5-6 layers!
For my accessories, I made sure to leave my neck bare to invoke a romantic vibe and let the sweetheart neckline shine. Instead, I played up my hair with a romantic floral headband, and also added black and white Baublebar earrings for a hint of sparkle. I chose a small handbag to keep with the fairytale vibe, because obviously princesses don’t need big bags since they have servants carrying everything for them. To match the gold chain on my bag, I went with a delicate gold watch from RumbaTime for a sophisticated touch.
