I’ve always been drawn to pieces that feel effortless yet considered, and this dress captures that balance so naturally. It moves with an ease that makes it perfect for slower mornings, the kind where everything feels unhurried. The lace trim adds a delicate softness that I find myself returning to more and more lately — a subtle detail, but one that changes the entire feel of the piece.
I paired it with heeled mules that offer just enough height while still feeling easy to wear. There’s something about a pointed toe that brings a quiet structure to a look, even when everything else leans relaxed and undone.
I’m currently wearing my hair in cornrows, and I’ve been really enjoying how effortless they feel day to day. I recently found a new hairstylist, and there’s something refreshing about her approach — she’s young, focused, and truly attentive to her craft. It’s rare to find someone who understands your vision so clearly and brings it to life with such care. I have a feeling I’ll be returning to her often.
Altogether, this look feels like a balance of ease and intention — which is exactly where I find myself drawn to at the moment.
What I’m Wearing
Dress: OASIS Printed Lace Trim Boho Shirt Mini Dress (Argos)
Shoes: Cosy Island GraceLithe Bow Pointed Toe Heeled Mule
Hair: Cornrows
There’s something grounding about documenting these small outfit moments again. A quiet reminder of why I was drawn to fashion in the first place — not for trends or pressure, but for the simple act of expression.
More soon.
Very eye-catching.

Thank you so much, Violetta; I enjoyed reading your blog.
DeleteBuenas noches, me encanta todo el look, es perfecto, y se te ve superlinda.
ReplyDeleteLos zapatos son perfectos de altura; eso sí, al no ajustarse al tobillo, ¿pregunto, no resultan un tanto más inestables? Pero vamos, esas trenzas son de escándalo, ajja. Estás en una palabra preciosa. Ole, las mujeres guapas. Un besote, muy feliz semana.
These heels are incredibly comfortable. What I sincerely appreciate is how effortlessly they slip on and off. The heel height is also perfectly practical, giving off a chic vibe without looking like I tried too hard. It just comes together so classily. Thank you so much!
DeleteTres chic... you are a model indeed. I love especially your shoes.
