These days, we see a lot of mini dresses, cheeky high-waisted shorts and tiny crop tops. Don’t get me wrong, I sport these looks from time to time. However, it is refreshing when someone goes against the grain a bit and dares to be a little different. This Fashionista does exactly that, as she dons a beautiful, flowing lace maxi dress, picked from a vintage shop in California.
This maxi dress is both elegant and subtly sexy. The light pink and cream dress flows with every step, moving with the wind and emanating an airy, light feel that is perfect for these warmer days in New York City. The dress falls delicately to the ground, making neat pleats as the piece drapes. The floral lace pattern gives the dress that vintage look because you can tell this is not a piece picked up at your local store in the mall. Additionally, the sheerness in the dress allows this Fashionista to show some skin, but in a more refined, mature way.
As far as accessorizing goes, this Fashionista keeps it simple, allowing all the attention to remain on her elegant maxi dress. Cinched around her waist is a thin black belt, which gives this lace dress some more shape. To stick with the vintage feel, she wears some patent leather Dr. Martens.
Overall, this Fashionista stands out in her vintage maxi dress. Among many tiny T-shirts and denim shorts, this Fashionista’s floor length, sheer lace dress truly captures attention. So, don’t be afraid to switch up your look a bit. If your go-to in the summertime is a classic pair of denim shorts and a crop top, step out of your comfort zone a bit and replicate this Fashionista’s delicate look.
