More "Adventures-in-Lisa-attempting-to-be-more-experimental-in-her-everyday-dressing" haha. Trying out two trends in one today Hi-Low hemlines and Ikat.. oh and The Hub's commented that my necklace was "really Tribal" his exact words hahahaha.. so is that three trends?? or is Ikat part of Tribal? HAHA. Confusd-ed.
Recently I discovered Hi-Low dresses and tunics and I'M HOOKED! I'm definitely on the curvier end of the spectrum - especially in a sea of svelte bloggers so I tend to dress very "classically" because of my shape.
Last year I went through that with Maxi Dresses.. I thought "Oh that's too hard for me to pull off" but then I bit the bullet went into a store and tried one on and it was LOVE and that's how I feel about Hi-Lo lately! It's so chic and effortless. I always thought it was too fashion forward for me and now I find that it's just a unique and interesting twist on everyday clothes!

loving hi-lo on you! i think it`s my favorite on you so far! and definitely love that you sinched in at the waist, it`s giving you such a great hourglass figure (not that you didn`t have one already ;)) okay i sound like a lunatic loving everything on you, but this print is amazing! it`s great because it`s neutral colors!
ReplyDeleteand srsly, your hubs and you must have an amazing time together because you guys are both so funny! i love the things he says..you should do a "whathubssays" twitter lmao. i would def. follow!
That's such a pretty dress! You always find the prettiest clothes from F21. I want to shop with you!
ReplyDeleteLove love LOVE the outfit! I definitely agree about feeling the need to dress in more classic and structured items to fit my shape - but I'm going to have to seek out some hi-lo dresses/tunics! You look fab!
ReplyDeleteI love the hi-lo on you. It looks very good.
ReplyDeletelooks great, very cute ^^

Ohh, I love this! I have a hi-low skirt I am planning on wearing to a wine tasting night this weekend. Your dress is so cute!
ReplyDeleteOMG I love the dress!! Ikat is sorta tribal, it's usually village, handmade sewn materials - in Indonesian it literally means something like "to tie" or "intertwine"
ReplyDeleteCome check out the 30 Days of Beauty Challenge happening in April - I look forward to you participating, Lisa!! :)
You and your husband are the cutest - hopefully someday I get to meet you!
That dress is just darling. I love the hemline and I am always a huge fan of chevrons. You look beautiful.

Structured blazers look amaaazing on you! I can't wait until it's a little warmer to start busting out the white blazers! :]
ReplyDeletei think hi-low hems are so pretty and feminine. i like that you added a structured blazer to the dress.
ReplyDeletewow, you are a long way from here! are you in germany permanently? do you still have family here?
[oomph.]
I've always like the ikat print and the high low hem is so fun to walk around in...you look great.

ReplyDeleteThis dress is super cute, you look amazing!

Fabulous dress! I'm been picking up on the high-low trend myself and collected a few skirts in this theme.
ReplyDeleteHope you don't mind that I tagged you with the "Tell me about yourself" award! <3 You don't have to, but I thought it would be fun. :)
