There are countless disparities between New York and my hometown. New York is a business city, where casual comes on the weekend and what you wear matters. Back home, in Lagos, there’s none of that. Especially in the summer. Everyone sports a casual summery vibe and even going out at night means a simple dress and some sandals. Anything that reminds me just a bit of back home is more than welcome.
Lately I’ve been all about the comfy dresses and casual skirts. The heat wave that stroke Manhattan has me wishing of loose fabrics. And this dress is the perfect example. It’s feminine without being provocative, it’s cute without being inappropriate and has a spin to it. I wore it to work with this H&M jacket – because it’s freaking freezing – and a comfortable pair of flats (also seen here). I always feel great when I’m wearing a dress this romantic that could easily be elevated for a date night.
