Comfortably chic

This weekend, or should I say these two weeks have been and are dedicated to studying, therefore, I've been pretty much locked myself up in my room. On Sunday, my mom asked us to go out for lunch with her, and seeing what a beautiful day it was, I was very excited to search for an outfit. However, I wasn't feeling too well those two days, so I didn't want to wear anything tight or too form-fitting; therefore, I opted for my trusty maxi-dress that I purchased on sale at Lucky Brand last year.

Not only do I adore the softness of the fabric, the pattern just makes me go goo-goo-ga-ga over this dress.

Dress: Lucky Brand, grey cardigan purchased from local store in HK, Movado watch, Pandora bracelet (from my dbf)

Although it was a beautiful day, it was rather windy, so I opted for my fave leather jacket - the one from a few posts back and pulled on my fringed cow-boy boots to add an edge to this boho outfit.

Maxi dresses

With summer coming up, dresses are in stores everywhere now. The number one investment for summer that I would recommend is a maxi dress (or several). At the right fit, the dress can compliment any type of body. The looseness of the dress allows you to eat(while fitted dresses show your stomach sticking out right after you eat), the length of the dress also cover your legs if you are not comfortable with showing too much skin. That being said, to some, the length of the dress may restrict the convenience of certain activities, however the looseness of the dress actually allows a lot of leg room without a lot of restriction. For more petite ladies, it is best to take the dress to the tailor to get your dress altered to avoid looking swamped in the dress.
Now, what to pair maxi dresses with? Gladiators, flats, strappy sandals, you name it, but I’m personally favouring strappy sandals ATM.
And of course, with the summer season coming, don’t forget your sunnies and make sure you apply sunscreen for protection.
