Hello, lovelies! It's been another whirlwind of a week, but ended perfectly with a little family trip down to San Diego.
It's definitely been a lot warmer down here since my last post, and the flowers are finally in full bloom. I love bringing out all of my spring inspired and floral pieces, though this dress by Trashy Diva is special in a few different ways. The bright pop of magenta against the contrasting deep black swept me right off my feet, as it perfectly blends my two favorite elements - girly with a dash of noir. If there is any dress that captures my aesthetic, then it's this one.
The Magenta Floral collection was a recent re-release by Trashy Diva, as it was highly requested by Trashy Diva's loyal followers. Though it is labeled as a "fall floral", the versatility of this dress allows it to be styled in a variety of ways throughout the year.
This particular style is the "Obi dress" and I am wearing a size 4. This is pretty true to size for me, which was surprising considering this rayon fabric doesn't have much room allowance/stretch to it, though I find that it's the open bust area which helps for my body type.
I adore any dress that accentuates the waist, which is definitely a key factor here with the dainty tie wrap. To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the draping sleeves until I actually wore the dress around. Now I really appreciate that detail, as it emphasizes the beautiful flow and movement of this material, which creates a pretty majestic feeling while wearing it. That is exactly what we aimed to capture in this series of photos.
For accessories, I kept it very minimal as I wanted to keep the focus mainly on the dress.
I went with a pair of gold flaked sunnies by Kate Spade and vintage drop hoop earrings. I feel like the simplicity keeps it a little more spring influenced, though a pair of black sheer gloves would look just as lovely.
