How often do you see me in dresses? Skirts? Yes. Dresses? RARE. BUT when I saw this nude number from NA-KD I kind of felt like I had to have it. I think it’s the simplicity and tonal colour of the dress that really drew me in. I loved the double strap detailing and how it criss-crosses in the back. I love the shade of nude it is; perfect grey-ish mauve. I love that it’s a little bit longer; I think the length is super classy. And of course the sexy side cut to show a little leg. UGH. It’s just a perfect dress all in all.

Some other details I didn’t notice until I tried on the dress was how perfect the neckline is. It’s a nice low V without being OVERLY low. I think it’s a great neckline that will flatter both flat-chested girls (like me) as well as bustier girls. 

The material of this dress is also amazing. It’s a very thick, good-quality material which well-exceeded my expectations, as I was just expecting a typical Forever 21 / H&M type quality. I think it hugs your body really well and, due to the thickness of the fabric, is quite forgiving as well. 

ALSO there is a seam between the top half of the dress which actually cinches in at the small of your waist. I actually wasn’t sure that I would like this feature at first but once I had actually put the dress on I really appreciated the detail that was put into making this dress. That seam really brings everything together and made it that much more flattering on the body. 

Yeah so pretty much this is my perfect ‘night out’ dress. End of story. 

… now if I actually had the chance to wear it that’d be awesome. LOL.

Back to School Coziness with Bench https://speakoftheangel.com/back-to-school-coziness/ https://speakoftheangel.com/back-to-school-coziness/#respond Thu, 15 Sep 2016 21:14:58 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=2900 School is in full swing and my 8am lectures are definitely starting to wear me out. I swear I’ve been giving myself less and less time to get ready in the morning, which means my outfits have been getting more simple by the day. Which is totally fine by me because typically the more simple the outfit, the comfier it is. I have been catching myself online shopping for sweater dresses and other cozy one pieces that I can just throw on and go. One piece that I’ve been searching for for a while is a oversized sweat-shirt that I can wear as a dress. Fortunately Bench has got me covered because they just launched a sweat-shirt dress with their new Fall line and it is exactly what I was looking for.

If there was ever a time to say “I literally can’t even”, this would be it. This dress is the epitome of back-to-school comfort and I see the danger of over-wearing this during the school year. But thankfully it’s actually a cute piece along with being cozy, and I think I could actually style this a couple different ways so it doesn’t seem like I’m wearing the exact same thing every single day. 

I can see this dress coming in handy during midterms/finals season because it’ll be a no-brainer outfit that I can even sleep in! And that, my friends, is a MAJOR KEY to exam season success.

You can find the Bench sweatshirt dress here ! It also comes in a dusty blue colour that I feel like I should probably cop as well. If you’re wondering about sizing, I actually went up a size in this dress so that it’d be EXTRA over-sized and sleeping-bag like. I’m 5 feet 8 inches tall and weigh about 125 lbs and I went with a medium in this dress. Hope that helps if you’re planning to order online!     

So that’s all for today! Hope you guys enjoyed this post!

Since it’s raining everyday again in Vancouver (typical) I’m going to do a quick throwback to an early fall outfit. I actually think I might wear this one again soon as the temperature rises. Can’t WAIT for bare-leg weather again!

Pretty much everything I’m wearing is from Aritzia (walking advertisement much) except my slip dress underneath is from Brandy Melville. My booties are from Aldo, and backpack from Matt and Nat.

CLEAN. https://speakoftheangel.com/clean/ https://speakoftheangel.com/clean/#respond Sun, 19 Apr 2015 01:01:32 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=857 Clean OOTD

I can’t get enough of this slip dress !

It was absolutely gorgeous outside again, and so I wanted to take advantage of it and wear my dress again. I have a feeling this will be the summer of non-pants FOR SURE.

The one thing about Vancouver weather right now, is that the sun, although bright and beautiful, is actually quite deceiving. As soon as you walk outside, the breeze hits you and you’ll realize that it’s actually still nippy (no pun intended LOL) spring time, and not hot summer yet. So, to add a BIT of coverage to my slip dress (yes it’s my second day in a row of wearing it. don’t judge me), I threw on this long white t-shirt on top.

I’m LOVING how this combo looks, the casual and flow-y feel of it.

I love that the T-shirt actually has a large slit down the side , and is asymmetrical in the sense that it’s longer in the back, because I think it gives this combo some really interesting details to look at. The black peaking out from the side makes the lines look sharp and crisp, while the longer back ensures that I don’t have any wardrobe malfunctions throughout the day.

Black Slip Dress : Brandy Melville | White Tshirt : Brandy Melville | Bag : Rebecca Minkoff | Booties : Spring   

Oh yeah, can I just say that this is also the comfiest outfit EVER. the slip dress and the white t-shirt are both SO COMFORTABLE. it’s nuts. I feel like I’m floating around in my pajamas which I am DOWWWWWNNNN for.

How’s the weather where you’re from? Has it been warm enough for dresses yet? Let me know !

Hope you guys are having a great day, wherever you are.

Until next time,
