There is a saying that says that you know that you are mature when you find you are attending more than two weddings this summer. I think planning your dress for a wedding is so much easier than planing for an engagement event. Usually, the later is a much smaller party with only close friends and family attending and sometimes it is just a gathering at someone’s home, so you can’t dress to fancy yet you can’t go with just a dress, so you need something in the middle ground and it has to be something mature just to give the vibe that you have moved from the young adult category to the adult category. So today I have decided to share with you five dresses that you can wear to a summer event that I am sure one of them will suit your body type, your style and the occassion you are going to.

Summer is here for everyone, apparently, with parties going on everywhere for everyone, but since I started training, work training, I don’t get any vacation for the first three months, which means, bummer, no summer for me. Even in a national holiday, I didn’t get a day off, so I am here in my apartment enjoying a solo day off where I can’t get any real vacation or travel to enjoy summer. even if I have to through my own summer parties, at least so I can enjoy the summer party outfits I have styled before summer starts. I hope you are enjoying your summer so far and enjoying all the parties coming up in your summer and see next post.

it was just an induction day and not a real work day, but still, it was pretty exciting to know more about the place I am working and know what I should be doing to support this place and stay out of trouble. The reason I mentioned that it is because I don’t really mind having a very strict dress code, I would actually prefer to have one, but unfortunately for me and luckily for everyone else, we have a smart casual dress code. They kept mentioning what we can wear and what we can’t wear and basically I am not allowed to wear revealing clothes This made it pretty easy to find out what I can wear and now I am going through my closet and sorting my outfits into work type outfits and not work type outfit.

It doesn’t have to be a classy piece, I can wear something like the one I am wearing above which is not classy by any means, or the trendiest outfit I have got in my wardrobe, but it gives the vibe that I wish to be known for. For me, I would like to be perceived as a strong independent woman and how I can achieve this through my clothes is that I wear things that gives a powerful yet feminine vibe. For example, the outfit I am wearing, is pretty simple, not trendy and very oversized, not something I would typically wear, but I liked it and to add a strong vibe to it, I added the headband. It showed that I am not afraid to express myself in clothes and add trendy weird items, so it gave the strong vibe, then I added the silk underdress with the golden touches, in order to give the feminine vibe.
