Drop Waist Dress – Victoria Beckham for Target

Kelsey K. — Tue, 16 May 2017 14:00:15 +0000

If you follow me on Instagram, then you already caught a glimpse of this drop waist dress and the story behind it. I am particularly proud of this look because I took the photos using a tripod and remote! Never in a million years did I think I’d be capable of embracing the awkward and posing for a “ghost photographer.” But you know what they say, “desperate times call for desperate measures.” In an effort to “nurture my relationship,” this is my attempt to give Jonathan a break. I cannot guarantee GG will pose like a statue every time, but I can guarantee that I’ll publish content more frequently.

Target nails it again! But this time with the guidance of fashion designer Victoria Beckham. Every few years, they collaborate with a designer and curate an exclusive collection of affordably priced items. After a frustrating experience during the Lilly launch in 2015, I decided to buy in-store only. I’m happy to report that I still managed to snag my favorite item from the collection, a drop waist scallop hem dress! As it turns out, some things really are worth waiting for.

After the launch date I read a lot of mixed reviews about the quality of the apparel. Apparently you cannot satisfy everyone because I have no complaints after wearing this dress. The only con is that is it hard to button the backside yourself. But that’s what friends are for! The material is thick enough to resist wrinkles and the scallop details are darling. Drop waist garments can be a difficult fit because they are often in the form of a shift dress. I am wearing a XS and it is neither too tight nor too loose. Unfortunately this item is no longer available online but click here to check the inventory at a Target near you. I already cannot wait to rock this dress with booties during the fall. Not bad for a $20 clearance item if I say so myself. Buy or cry!

Pink Jumpsuit for the Edgy Chic

When people ask me to define my style I find it quite difficult. I have always been fond of color and all different art mediums. My grandfather was an artist (also a New York Giant – I kid you not) and it probably influenced my interest in the arts at a young age. Growing up I would pack my school schedule with as many hands-on classes that I could get away with. Ceramics and jewelry making were my two favorites. So when it comes to my fashion style, it’s hard for me to pinpoint because I love fashion as a whole subject. For the purpose of my blog, however, I have narrowed it down to edgy! I wear a lot of black, but hopefully I can convince you that it doesn’t have to be boring or gothic. So what does this have to do with my pink jumpsuit, you may ask? Allow me to explain!

After narrowing down my style to edgy, my gut instinct is to eliminate the color pink from my wardrobe. How could such a feminine hue be considered edgy?! Despite my hesitation, I’m here to tell you that it can be! You just need to mix it with some black. In fact, the phrase, “it’s all about the details” has never been truer!

The Essien Crepe Jumpsuit by French Connection is nothing short of fabulous. It is no easy task to make a seemingly baggy onesie appear flattering, but somehow they’ve accomplished just that. Maybe it’s the deep v-neck front and back. Regardless, I’m so glad I took a “risk” on this pretty pink number. To create edge, I dressed it with lucite lace-up sandals (I wasn’t exaggerating – I wear them 2-3 times per week!) and a black purse. I never leave the house without jewelry and Brynn Hudson’s baubles make accessorizing incredibly easy. I am wearing the rose bud and bangle bracelets and droplet earrings. What do you think? Is my pink jumpsuit acceptable for an edgy chic?!

Brown and White Maxi

I am all about looking good without spending an arm and a leg. When Make Me Chic wanted to collaborate, I was stoked because they offer the latest and greatest in women’s fashions at a budget-friendly price. I am especially impressed with their dress assortment, but more specifically this brown and white maxi dress. Not bad for $33!

Maxi dresses are very elegant, but can be a hard fit on a petite frame. It is all about finding the right cut. If you’re under 5′ 2″ tall, I highly suggest a fitted maxi or one with a thigh high slit. This will undoubtedly avoid the bag lady appearance and it’ll compliment your body type. I love a high slit because it instantly elongates the appearance of your legs. Score! Whether you are out running errands or it’s date night, a maxi with a slit will do the trick. This short sleeve brown and white maxi is a new favorite.

I have always been a huge fan of black and brown combinations! There is something so crisp about neutrals on neutrals (as seen here). The slit allows for this piece to go dressy or casual. At only five feet tall, it is a rare occasion for the length to be just right out of the box. I gave myself a boost with a pair of black sandals. I took the dressy route (surprise surprise!) and styled this dress with a Prada “Executive Tote” and retro Karen Walker sunnies. Stay tuned for another look from Make Me Chic!
