This unique top/dress is actually a traditional Asian top. I’m not sure from what country specifically, or if it is everyday wear or made for special occasions, but the one thing that can’t be denied is its beauty. The bright yellow color, the long flowing fabric, and the delicate hand painted flowers and specks of glitter make it a masterpiece. I could see this piece being styled so many ways, and on this day I chose to wear it casually with a flare. Here it is paired with some thrifted and distressed denim that fit like boyfriend jeans. The split on the sides of the top make a cute reveal on the side that show off the pants while I’m in motion. When standing still, it looks like a flowing dress. Versatile and beautiful make for a great addition to any wardrobe. I have a feeling this piece will fit well and look great even while pregnant! This dress serves as a reminder that embracing different cultures results in beautiful things.
