I love a good fashion spree. More importantly I love the opportunity to dress up!
In a week's time I'll be boarding a cruise which will be sailing the Mediterranean, as well as this I have been told I need to dress up for formal night. So upon my recent shopping trips I've been looking into an affordable formal gown that still oozes class.
After looking at the BCBG Max Azria collection (above) I have gained a clearer idea on how I'd approach formal night. Floor length gowns with bold colour and minimal detail, create a sophisticated and timeless look. A style that can be worn for any occasion. These style gowns are also staple pieces which you can invest in and wear time and time again. More the reason why I may end up dipping into whatever 'financial' income I have...student loan ahem.
Still, I can dream. My second option for a less formal attire would be something flirty, a cocktail dress to match my strawberry daiquiri. The silver bodycon above is an example, and while I dream of the day I have the will power to sacrifice cupcakes for calorie counting; for now I'm going to opt for dresses that fit on the waist and loosen around the hips.
Another key look for any summer holiday (let alone cruising) is the day wear attire. Now long walks on the beach and lazy days by the pool should require minimal effort when it comes to clothing. Which is why I'm aiming to go minimalistic but with a hint of edge. (Note my sequin denim shorts will shimmer on the boat, with confidence.)
I'm tempted to see if I could pull of white skinnies...while in the past I viewed them as a massive fashion disaster, my taste has varied. Still, it's early days. However, if I team these bad boys with my newly purchased black and white striped shirt, I suppose the possibilities are endless this summer.
Unlike my suitcase limit...
