The knotted detailing on the side is stunning. I only added a touch of color in the cuff bracelet because I wanted to maintain the color the gray & black color scheme.

You’ve seen my Forever21 Paisley Print Maxi Dress, now here’s the Floral Smocked Maxi Dress that I also bought from Forever21.

This floral maxi dress is flowy and also very long. I had to scrunch it up a bit when walking to make sure I don’t step on the hem and fall flat on my face.
I paired it with …read more

I first saw the polka-dot trapeze top a week ago. I planned on creating an outfit for it days after but I got so distracted and forgot about it.
