Trend Alert: Wearing My Long Dress and Nude Pumps

It’s time to start shopping for spring attire and update our wardrobe.  Some of the trends that I have seen in stores are crop tops, cut off shorts, and sleeveless vest.

But one trend that’s girlie and flirty are long dresses and maxi skirts.  Wearing a long dress tells the world that you’re feminine but yet fashionable.  And there’s several ways that one can wear a long dress or maxi skirt.  This trend can be paired with a cropped jacket, lace blouse, or even a tank top.

I decided to showcase my fuschia dress that I purchased from H&M last spring.  I actually wore this dress to a sorority event with a white hat and strappy sandals.

For the purpose of this article, I wanted to provide a dress option for the lady that’s having brunch with her girlfriends.

In this photo, I’m wearing a bold necklace in the same shade as the dress; a denim jacket to make the dress more casual; and nude pumps to elongate my legs (because I’m very petite.)

Overall, I think this is a great look for brunch with “the girls.”
