The girl who travels the world in a dress

As summer is just around the corner, I’ve already had my eyes on a few items that I want. Online shopping can be a great way to avoid the crowds and endless visits to the dressing room. A website like Zaful is perfect. With quite a large selection, you can be sure that you will find exactly what you are looking for.
Ah Ibiza. A little over a month ago, I was wearing my sundress in Ibiza. The weather was absolutely perfect. Now I sit in my apartment in Granada and it is quite cold outside! Winter has arrived in Spain! And while winter here will be way more mild than what I am used to in the United States, winter is here nonetheless. I am for sure excited to wear lots of boots and tights with my dresses. However I will miss all my sundresses. They are comfortable and easy to wear. This one is one of my favorites.
When I was in Ibiza with my friend Shola, we thought this made for a lovely backdrop. I am a big fan of green, after all. If you wish to read more on my Ibiza adventures, you can check them out here and here.

I’m just having fun with my words as they flow as smooth as a fiddle with lyrics and sound so delightful it seems, but I will get to the gist of my message so you will know what it means. Yes what it means to be dressed in ruffles and tulle, two fabrics of material that complete each other creating a full beautiful combination that can be worn about on any occasion.

The combination of both requires confidence when wearing as the woman who puts the fabrics together has a self-assurance that is daring.

Yes so glamorous and chic you are, just adding the right pair of heels and you will look just like a star! Maybe you feel that the tulle fabric isn’t really for you as this material can seem hard, itchy and unattractive. Or maybe the ruffles remind you of your childhood days as you twirled around in your kiddish ways! Its okay for ruffles and tulle are back in style again so reacquaint you with yourself… your childhood friend! The one who remembers twirling around in ruffles and tulle, hey that’s you isn’t this so cool! It’s a wonderful thing to witness an old trend!

I chose to wear a colorful floral dress with hints of reds, gold and black with a pair of cream high-heeled suede boots and a black sweater to tie it all together. I chose this outfit because I knew that my husband and I were going to an elegant restaurant for dinner and then to hear some jazz afterwards. The outfit that I chose would serve its purpose for style, comfort and keeping my husband’s attention! I will be able to comfortably enjoy myself in a relaxing atmosphere and still look stunning while doing so!
