The Main Reason Why Any Woman Should Dress Up

May 23, 2016

Shopping in CaftanYou might find this to be a tad ridiculous, but I love wearing long caftans and maxi dresses purely for their sheer comfort.  When I walk in a long skirt, I feel like I’m gliding across a room and there’s something about it that makes me feel pretty darn glamorous.  Caftans and maxi skirts/dresses are so comfortable that I can just sit in one all day even when I come home after a long day.  It’s not the first time I’ve lounged in a long dress for more than 12 hours.  On days that I don’t even want to go out, wearing a maxi dress elevates the way I feel.  Everyone has something that makes them feel good and this is one of mine.  Patterned CaftanPattern CaftanSummer Pattern CaftanRelaxing in a CaftanThis caftan has a little bit of transparency, so with the right slip or undergarments, it’s really alluring.  It came with a matching fabric belt, but I replaced it with one in my closet to accentuate the waist a bit more. Even though my mind is on resorts, I’m happy to wear this in the city before I fly away to somewhere nice and hot.I would happily throw this over a bikini at a resort in Bermuda or on a beach in Mallorca.  The colors are not too dark or bold and catches the breeze walking down the street during the midst of summer.

Caftan PatternsNecklace DetailFeeling glamorous and good is the only reason you will ever need to dress the way you like.  If you want to wear that beautiful dress to dinner then others will just think you’re important and have something amazing to attend to later, which is pretty sweet, don’t you think?  After all, dressing for who we want to be and where we want to go is a lifestyle rule we can all live by.

Miki CaftanSeated in CaftanSheIn has added a few new pieces that are simple and affordable that are great for one or two seasons.  The price points are very affordable, so when you find something great, they nail it, and it is a steal.  It’s all in knowing what to buy. They have some new arrivals that look like they would be really nice for a vacation getaway.

What’s a favourite item in your closet that makes you feel glamorous? What would you wear it to?  I’d love to hear!

    Love this, wearing long dresses that flow in the wind really do bump up that confidence factor! Mine is my yellow wrap dress, I always get complements, its comfortable, fitting and I look and feel great wearing it! I should invest in some more maxi dresses! You look fabulous as always xx

      Thanks Rai! You’re so sweet! Wrap dresses are so nice! I don’t have a full length one, but they are so flattering! A yellow one sounds so nice and summery! 🙂 I’m sure it looks incredible on you. 🙂
