Stylenspire: it's a wrap


A wrap dress should be a classic staple in your closet. In recent times there have been fab re-creations of the full wrap dress known as the faux wrap dress. A faux wrap can be more suited to a luscious full-figured woman, & also if you don't want to have to bother about the wrap-around ties. 

The iconic Diane Von Furstenberg is notorious for her wrap dress creations. In my opinion, DVF makes a dress a dress; with her unique blueprint that allows it to grace a woman's body effortlessly.
I love, love, love the printed knit wrap dress that I have on today. & before you ask, "yes, it is a MAXXINISTA fab find from yours truly TJ Maxx." In truth, DVF dresses have pretty steep price point, but as much as I preach 'bottom price' for fashion pieces, there are times when a luxe find like this is worth the pretty penny.

If this statement piece does not already grace your garment collection, do make a mental note to patiently hunt one down for the right style & price. There are other designers out there that have wrap dresses at different price points that won't war between your budget & your style. Wrap dresses/faux wrap dresses are not fads, they are part of the 'must haves' for your stylenspired journey.

Enjoy!

Stylenspiration: "Nothing I can ever do can measure up to the gift of Grace that I have been given. I choose to live this Grace thankfully with the blessing of each new day, IN STYLE."

Stylenspire: smile art


Blessings are nearer than we sometimes think, richly present in all our moments. The more you are aware of the possibility of a blessing that may be coming around the corner just for you, the more free you are to enjoy the moment. 

Each smile in the pictures below was borne from the gentle nudging of my friend Victoria who took these pictures. She is my blessing that came around the corner, & selflessly enhanced my style with the beauty of her gift. 
Enjoy!














Outfit details: Marc by Marc Jacobs silk flower print top from TJ Maxx // Levi Strauss flowered white jeans also a TJ Maxx find // Rebecca Minkoff mini flirty bag // Gold Diane Von Furstenberg flats are old, find similar here // Red Zara Hiver Automne shoe is an old TJ Maxx find

Stylenspiration: Floral power style art attracts. Gold flats were paired with outfit for a busy day, & the red heels worked the outfit for an evening out with friends.
