What I Wore: Bright and Happy

Sometimes an all-over print can be intimidating, especially when it comes in bright colors.  But you don't have to be afraid!  I love bright colors and prints because they make me happy.  I always hope that, by wearing something that makes me happy, I can pass some happiness along to someone else too.

Enter this fantastic dress from SWAK that arrived in my Gwynnie Bee package.  I knew the style was great because it is the same style as the Sabrina maxi from SWAK, but I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the pattern.  Putting it on though, I absolutely loved it!  It is fun and vibrant with shades that can work year round.

I adore the deep V-neck and flowing skirt that makes me feel so feminine and lovely.  I anchored the pattern with a black shrug and added a bold necklace with brushed silver shapes.  For reference, I am 5'9" and this 3X dress hit the floor when I put it on.  I am wearing black wedges with this look.
