Girly Pieces

The other day I was talking to my brother about how stylistically boring he must have it as a boy: Monday, hmm, I think I'll wear pants, oh Tuesday, what do you know, pants again!" Aaah, I would die! Thank God women have it soo much more various and interesting, being able to don a Tomboy look one day and easily transcend into elegant, fair lady the next!

My favorite girly piece aside from leggings is definitely the dress. Dresses add an effortless femininity to one's look. The fact that the dress covers the whole body, it allows creativity to run wild as you translate the piece to your personal desire; styling it with shredded tights for a gorgeous grunge look, or rocking floral ones instead to expand on the dress's feminine statement. I paired this dress with chocolate brown cowboy boots to allow the dress to be the main focus, while complementing it with shoes that emulate the same theme.

I love this red and white Spanish vintage dress so much! When I spotted it while scouring Downtown LA, I immediately envisioned the love story of a young Latin girl awaiting her handsome fiance's return so that they may flee together from their home country to acquire a more opportunistic life.

I love how the vertical stripes of the dress's waist seem to create a slimming effect and bring a more detailed, unique design to the piece.
