Not-So-Secret Fashion Tip For Every Season

I had the opportunity to receive the Bamboo Dreams Grace Fashion Dress from Yala Designs so I could share my honest thoughts on it.

If there’s one thing every fashionable lady has to have, it’s a black dress.

Most people refer to it as their “little black dress” since the fashion staple is usually a short dress. Thing is, not everyone would be bold enough to wear mini skirts — and that includes me. I had way too much stretch marks during and after pregnancy that I need to keep most of my skin hidden.

Yala Fashionable Grace Dress

But just because you don’t want to show too much skin doesn’t mean you can’t be fashionable and classy, right?

Take this elegant Bamboo Dreams Grace dress from Yala Designs as an example. It lives up to its name — Grace.

Ladies can easily dress it up for a formal event or dress it down for church or work or even a stroll at the park or the mall. It has a front crossover that fit well on me. I appreciate that because I’ve tried some dresses with crossovers and it made my chest look really flat.

From the waist, this dress just lightly flows down to just below your knees. The dress is made of soft flowy fabric — 95% viscose from Bamboo and 5% spandex. And it also comes in purple if you want some color in your wardrobe too.

It isn’t too obvious in my photo above but I was wearing a small gold necklace because I wanted a classy but toned down look. To make yourself stand out more, I suggest wearing a fashion necklace with more volume — like a long lariat necklace — and pair it up with cute earrings and a bracelet. But don’t overdo the accessories, of course! Make sure your fashion pieces complement each other.
