Clap along if you know what happiness is to you

Good afternoon lovelies

You know what makes me happy? 

Listening to chilled out beats like Pharrell Williams song Happy on a Friday!

If that doesn't put you in a good mood, then I know what will!

It's today's outfit of course, feeling good about what you wear makes you feel happy!

And today's outfit features the Pick Me Up Dress from designer Andie Meredith.

Even the name provides evidence to my statement that the Pick Me Up Dress can pick up your mood. Why, you may ask? because it's feminine, flattering and fun! You can't help but feel good about yourself whilst wearing this dress. 

When styling, I am a minimalist. I like to focus on one key piece and make it a feature. Therefore I style all of the other pieces/garments around the featured piece. Why would you take the focal point away from the dress when the silhouette and print are so beautiful? 

My style is influenced by a lot of iconic people. 

Take Coco Chanel for example, when she started out her career she designed garments that were comfortable and minimalistic because she believed that beauty came from simplicity. She recognised that the trend at the time was over the top, clashing and distracted the attention away from the individual wearing the garment. She thought that over accessorising with feathers and trimmings took away from the beauty of the person wearing the garment. 

That is how I like to style a well thought out piece, like the Pick Me Up Dress. A simple silver beaded necklace and bracelet from Lovisa is all you need to embellish the dress without losing sight of the finer details. I completed the look with my favourite pair of shoes at the moment; the Rory shoes from Wittner. 

Some tips on how else you could style this dress are:

- wearing a black fitted jacket with it;

- not wearing a necklace and instead wearing some chunky earrings; or

- accessorising with a structured bag.

Colours that work with this dress are bright and violet reds, silver, mixed tones of green and black (goes with everything of course!).

Hope you have an amazing weekend and love todays outfit. Love TWD xo
