Dress Up: Effortless Cool & Chic

I often start with one item/garment, and then somehow the complete look starts to form in my mind like a vision. In my mind I start adding the accessories one by one to make the look whole, and in the end it somehow manages to come together pretty well!


I started this look with the shirt dress, then added the legging, the booties, the belt, the bag, and finally all those bangles!! I kinda love this look so much that I wanna go out and buy the entire look for myself - if only my wallet allowed. :)
