Three times a lady

Maybe it's the FLOTUS influence, but I've been seeing a lot of lady-like dresses and pieces everywhere. Whether it's at the mall, at the department store, or a fast fashion boutique, there's an abundance of clothes with rich materials, classic cuts and luxe details.

Such as these 3 pieces that I've gathered the past months.

The first one is a Banana Republic tweed dress in black and brown.


The high, sabrina neckline and streamlined cut makes it such a classic piece. To keep it from being too marmy, there are little touches of fun such as a ribbon at the back of the dress.


The next ensemble is a combination of two items from The Landmark and Forever 21. The turtleneck top is from the department store's knit department. It's classic and ridiculously cheap.


The skirt is a classic pencil cut skirt with a tweed fabric. Exposed zippers add a bit of zing to the otherwise plain skirt.


Finally, this elegant and casual dress from Forever 21. At first glance, the look like separates. But it's actually just one piece.


The top is silk and is done in a very blouse-y way. This balances out the very sleek and tight bottom part of the dress.


With ensembles like these, it's so easy to be a lady. Not just once, twice, but three times a lady. (Sorry, I couldn't help but make a Kenny Rogers reference. Harhar.)
