I don’t like dresses with cutouts. Whether they are at the shoulder or waist, it’s just not my thing. They look strange to me. But they are all the rage right now, so it means a lot of dresses don’t appeal to me and I don’t feel super trendy.
And then I saw this dress.
I cannot explain to you why I liked it and wanted to try it despite the cutout (and the fact that mom didn’t think it would work out and we’d end up sending it back like happens all too often when ordering all the things online). But I did and I fell in love.
It’s by an up and coming brand called Aknvas that a lot of bloggers and fashionistas have been wearing so I am excited to have one of their pieces in my closet. I also love the unique crinkly fabric, strapless silhouette, and of course the eye catching and flattering silver color.
While this is obviously perfect for evening, I have worn it during the day both times. I think it feels so bright and happy and perfect for when the sun is out, but maybe that’s just me …
I paired it with the same silver bag both times because I couldn’t resist. I also LOVE this bag. It’s the perfect size and super cute with the unique handles. I did mix up the shoes – going with a pink and silver combo once and blue and silver once. Really took a big chance there 😉
Not only would I love to have more silver in my wardrobe, but I am super excited to have more pieces by Aknvas in my closet.
