This dress definitely makes a statement. Originally on the hanger it didn't look like much but once I tried it on I fell in love with the way it hugged my body and accentuated my shape. I used to always hate the fact that I had these curvy hips and pear-shaped body, but over time and with learning how to dress it I have really embraced my shape and I love showing it off in this outfit. It's definitely a look that needs to be rocked with confidence, and I feel so great in this dress that I have no problem doing so! Of course there are certain shapes that will look better in a dress like this than others, however I'm a huge believer that having the right attitude and being comfortable in your own skin can contribute to pulling off a statement look like this one.

 

 

 

I love that this dress can be worn different ways. Here I've paired it with some black tights, simple patent heels and my Audrey Hepburn-esque sunglasses for a more classy, 60's inspired look. This dress could easily be worn without the tights with some heeled boots and a red lip for a more exaggerated night out look or with a blazer and a simple flat shoe for a daytime conservative (yet still bold) look. I also like that the shape of the necklace is sort of a play on the shapes of the letters on the dress so I thought the simplicity of that pairing worked well. This has quickly become one of my favourites!
