Backs Makes A Statement

I am so mesmerized when it comes to the detailing and design on the back of a dress; I don't get the same WOW factor if a similar design was on the front. There's something about the back of a dress that has a lot of drama going on; it gives a more sexiness feel to it and a high-end look. The front of the dress can be plain and simple with no decoration, but the unique design of the back adds much charm to the dress. It's impossible to not have your back to someone, so why not give them an eye full.

In Full Swing: Skirts with a Flare

A very versatile skirt with lots of movement and when worn with the right pieces the full skirt can suit a variety of occasions. To keep modern and chic pair with a cardigan sweater, a button down shirt or a tie-front blouse and choose from a variety of shoe styles like a pair of sandals, wedge or slingbacks heels. I think full skirts look cute with pointy flats.
