Hello Rain

Get The Look : Dress {BCBG Max Azria}, Sun Hat {XXI Forever}, Umbrella {Henri Bendel}
Why tell the rain to go away when you can still go out and play?!  Summers in Houston are inevitably filled with incensing rain, extreme heat and humidity. A girl’s best friend, considering the intense natural conditions, is a lightweight, flowing sundress. I eyed this high-low dress and fell in love with it mostly for its feminine aura but also due to its versatility. In this case, I wore a sheer short sleeve top as an overlay to create a layered look. However, I could also wear a statement necklace or summer scarf around the neck or even nude heels on foot just to name a few alternatives.

When initially putting this look together, I used the black sun hat as a focal point, centering everything around the simple yet chic appeal of it. A lot of times I create my OOTD by starting with my accessories. I believe that the accessories oftentimes make the outfit, and you can pair a different accessory with the same outfit and create a look so uniquely different. To me, that’s what makes fashion so much fun. Every woman knows that “perfect-pair” feeling when her heels click on the pavement in sync with the light touch of her flowing dress on the back of her legs all the way up to her opulent necklace that shines so bright it reflects on her rounded-Jackie O inspired sunglasses.

Be inspired to bring your own sunshine on those occasions when the clouds hang low and the rain unceasingly falls.

Oh, let's not talk about that Cali weather you got over there ;-) It's fun to try something different, and to re-energize your wardrobe with a different piece! The shirt is from BCBG Max Azria (favorite!). XOXO
