Black Goddess

Hey Dolls!!!!! Oh my gosh! Have I got a post for YOU today!!!! Hope you guys don’t mind the overload of pictures that’s about to scroll up!!! :) I’m so excited about this outfit because the dress that I have on is my latest obsession. It’s so BEAUTIFUL. I wore this dress yesterday to attend Sunday mass, an evening at the park & LACMA museum with my beau. Finishing the night with dinner at Bottega Louie in Downtown L.A., with one of my most AMAZING girlfriends whom I love dearly. Anyway, let’s begin! :)

When I bought this dress, I immediately fell in love with the flowy sleeves because it reminded me of a Roman goddess and the front, well that reminded me of the Renaissance era…BUT!!!! The minute i turned the dress over and saw the lacey back…I WENT BANANAS! I was sold. What I love about dresses like this, is that because they have so much detail, I hardly have to do anything. I love simplicity and love minimal accessories. So, because the dress made me feel like a goddess, I decided to wear this gold leaf headpiece I’ve had for awhile. That was the look I was going for, a modern day goddess. I threw on these cognac sandal inspired heels to avoid typical black shoes. Besides, keep in mind that in the Roman days, sandals were their everyday footwear. 

Another reason why I love this dress and were more “BUY ME” points added to it was because it’s such a great piece for the fall. The dress is so versatile and I could do so much with it. For example, it literally looks like a long top that could easily be worn with leggings and boots for cold days. Ugh!!! I’m officially looking forward for Fall, which by the way is my favorite season of all. I’m especially excited to re-wear this outfit and show you a completely different styled fit.

A quick note: I decided to braid my hair and hide the rest of my hair underneath…well, MY HAIR, to emphasize and give the back lace an open focus. I didn’t want anything getting in the way of showing off those beautiful details.

Hope you guys like my outfit of the day. Here’s a little bonus of my outfit for a more casual look. I threw on my FAVORITE & handy-dandy, Charlotte Russe sandals for the evening. Above, I mentioned that the boyfriend and I went to a park and a museum after church and because we were about to do A LOT of walking, I definitely wanted to be more comfy. Below are a few of our favorite pictures that we took on our day out…hope you guys like! Blessings. XO-M
