simplicity.

 A shapeless silhouette in a snowy hue, complete with a modest hemline and beautifully braided straps - this is just about as simple as it gets. A gift from my mother, this humble LWD has rooted itself firmly in the depths of my closet, and is definitely here to stay. With simplicity comes versatility, and I can only begin to imagine the infinite clothing combinations I could concoct with this hushed canvas of a dress. Although this isn't quite the ivory statement a la Alexander Wang SSRTW13, it's definitely a piece that can be easily manipulated to inspire a medley of looks. This time round, the dress spoke for itself in all its innocence, and was complemented with natural makeup, a refreshing lack of accessories and gloriously bare feet. As for the next time I decide to take this dress out for a not-so-voluminous spin, I'll definitely don a leather jacket, a pair of chunky boots and a skinny belt for good measure.



Many thanks to local freelance photographer Jess Gomes-Ng for the wonderful 
shoot - be sure to check out her facebook page!

  30. The LWD I feel is just as necessary as the LBD. Love the pictures, you look so pretty in all of them! I think my fav LWD would have to be one with lace, lace and white just go together to so perfectly all the time!
    Followed, and if you have time stop on by :)
