The Black Dress

(SM Accessories necklace/ bangles, Van Vogue Manila dress, Miss Sartorial detachable peplum, S&H booties)

This one-of-a-kind elegant dress incredibly surprised me- especially when I found out it came from Van Vogue Manila, a local online shop based and the designer really sketches the dresses herself. Don't you just love the front and back detail of this dress?! Wearing this made me so excited- I wore it from day until night. Van Vogue Manila will probably be one of my favorite local online shops. Beautifully in line with my edgy side and great expressing of balance, I wore this detachable peplum from Miss Sartorial for the sophisticated effect. Okay, can I just say, this is probably going to be overused. I love how you can pair this detachable peplum with everything: skirts, pants, shorts, dresses, etc. Definitely adds character to your normal attire. The fact that it's leather too makes it look extra stunning. Bet you thought the peplum was actually part of the dress, right? Seriously, you gotta have one!

This dress can flatter you body shape regardless of any season- that's why they call this attire "the little black dress" na mejo trendy lang haha. During the day, you can wear a blazer so you won't feel too glammed up. If you're going to attend an event, this is THE look. Perfect for a night out with friends while sipping some yummy Bollinger champagne. In other words, this entire look is ideal for the "day to night" look. BMS.
