Began this post listening to I'm The Best by Nicki Minaj...
Does the following happen to anyone else? When I walk into an H&M store I am hardly excited. Why? because everything is mass-produced and that bothers me a lot. I simply hate running into someone wearing my same outfit... which is what obviously occurred.
I visited the store in my hometown, prompting me to fall in love with a maxi dress, it was cheap and I thought it would be easy to wear. Cut to a relaxed afternoon outing some days after. I get off the bus, meet my friends and only a couple of metres away from me, a girl wearing the same dress. It has now been hanging for a while in my wardrobe and while I still love it, I find myself hardly inspired to wear it. As I don't want this purchase to be a total waste of money, I need to spice it up with some clever combinations and this is what I've come up with for now:
The safe yet edgy option - wearing a denim jacket, nothing too outrageous there, but how about some leopard print shoes? I love clashing prints and I think the leopard and the floral patterns go well together.
I balanced out the leopard with an accessory of the same print and I think I quite like it.
The experiment, cardie as top - I grabbed a River Island grey cardigan and wore it the other way around. I was striking one of my best poses when my little "housemate" decided he too wanted to be in the shot...
Shoes: H&M
And below, you can see how it looks from the back.
The comfy layered look - with a black t-shirt, a green necklace to bring some colour to the top and a pair of black sandals with a light wedge.
Top and necklace: Pull & Bear
Shoes: Sfera

So, which one do you like the most? Do you have any other suggestions on how to wear maxi dresses differently?
