A little about this dress:

There is something so cheerful and happy about this colorful midi wrap dress. I was a bit reluctant of its quality, but not only was I impressed, but the overall fit and appearance got me chiming. For reference: if you know your ASOS brand ( UK ) size, then go with that. I am usually a UK 10 which is the equivalent of US 6, and that just fits me to a T. The horizontal stripes was all the more slimming and leg-elongating. The dress is a blouson style at the waist, so if are a straighter cut like me, then belting it at the waist would give you the illusion of a natural waist.

Styling options:

During the day: wear it with a denim jacket, a cute pair of flat sandals, some dainty jewelry or even a choker necklace. Finish off with a ponytail and minimal makeup.

For a night out: go for a sleeker look with a pair if heels, a statement belt, a sweep of your favorite pink lipstick and your trusted evening bag.
