GARDEN PARTY — Styllabus

Although it is not as formal or as bright as typical garden party attire, this is my interpretation of a serene "garden party" look. Even in its simplicity, it still exudes elegance. Earth-tone pieces are a favorite of mine, especially when detailed designs are added to highlight the piece in order to keep it from looking dull or flat. This tie-knot dress was no exception; it's an item that looks just as good on the hanger as it does on the female form. Bringing subtle shapes and curves to my slim frame, the knot gives the illusion of a smaller waist. To spice up my look I added these dazzling, geometric earrings, which are a statement piece in and of themselves, and my blood orange mules. This look was inspired by my experience in this garden space, as well as gardens throughout my life. Serenity. Safety. Solitude. I've always loved gardens. Their vibrancy. Their tranquility. Everyone that I have ever observed tend to their garden, did it with such love and care. A subtle lesson of how we should treat ourselves and others. Since turning 25 a couple of months ago, I've been experiencing consistent inner peace more than ever; these captured moments are an external reflection of my current inner being.
