Ms. Jeannie and Her Closet

The romantic maxi skirt…

These pictures were actually the very first ones I got for my blog. They were taken by my 18 year old daughter near my parents home. I was so excited and at the same time a little bit nervous and skeptical about pursuing “the blogging dream” . Not because of lack of desire or passion but because I was still working on conquering the self created fears, and the obstacles and insecurities imposed by my very own mind. I can still remember her telling me; “mom!, come on! you can do it!”, and from there… here I am:-). I have had this particular skirt for a while. I got it from an online store and the minute I saw it I fell in love with it. I love wearing skirts very much. In my opinion they embrace women femininity and romantic side. This maxi green one in particular makes me just want to fly the “Titanic” way….

Ways to wear the wrap dress…

On an earlier post, I talked about the “versatility” of the wrap dress. I mentioned how you could dress it up for work or a girls night out or to wear it (like I do) to simply go shopping. For today’s picture, I put together three different looks using the same wrap dress: The “casual look” (to go shopping or run errands), the “girls night out look” and “the business/work look”. To achieve this, I simply changed the style of my hair, the shoes and accessories. In my opinion, owning a wrap dress is a no brainer. You can wear it season after season and always look good. It is very easy and cost effective to maintain as you can wash it at home (it’s typically made out of a soft jersey fabric) and it is also the perfect piece to take when traveling as it doesn’t wrinkle at all. So now, go and have fun transforming your wrap! Love and blessings to you all, Ms. Jeannie:-)
