Bare the Bow

Hi my lovelies! So as some of you may have realized, Summer days are coming to an end. In fact, geographically speaking, Summer Soltice a.k.a “Summer” ends Saturday, September 21st. Which is in exactly 16 days from today! Lucky for me, Summer in Los Angeles, seems just about starting. This past week, I’ve experienced the 90s in the city and when I’ve been in the valley, pfft! FORGET IT! High 90s up to 103 degrees…maybe even more. SO, even though Summer is coming to an end according to geography, physically and naturally, it’s probably here for another month after it’s expiration date! Oh the joy and the perks of living in California :) I LOVE IT! Guess that means that I still have time to post Summer OOTDs which bring us to today!

If you haven’t already noticed, my days off are Wednesdays and Sundays. Those are the days I am able to do outfits of the day, see my boyfriend, clean my room/house and run any errands I may have for the week. Today was no exception. Today’s plans were mainly to get some errands done in the city and later spend a relaxing time at the Science Center Museum with my love. So considering I was about to be doing A LOT of walking in this heat, I wanted to be dressed as comfy and casually as I could but still look girly! A backless maxi dress was the best choice for me :)

I don’t own a lot of maxi dresses in my closet. In fact, I think I have a total of 3 and this is one of them. Do you know why I bought this? Take a guess….DONE? HA! If you guessed, open back you have hit the jackpot. I love backless outfits and this GIANT bow was a HUGE bonus! What I love about this dress is that in the front it looks so plain and ordinary…but the minute I turn around, BOOM! I leave the people behind me with a BANG!

Like I mentioned, looking at the dress from the front, it looks very basic. The back is extremely sexy and feminine but I still wanted to make the front eye-catching. I wanted to give it an edge and that is why I wore this spiked necklace. To compliment it, I wore these studded sandals and a basic beaded in black and silver bracelet with dangling crosses. If you notice, the front is punkish and tough but the back brings out the femininity. Hope you guys approve because I know I felt HOT ; ) Blessings!!!!!! XO- M
