This dress should come with a warning: heads will turn when you wear it!  This gorgeous Chicwish dress is just another that I fell in love with the moment I tried it on.  Its bold elegance makes me feel like a princess while simultaneously pushing me far outside my style comfort zone.  Keep reading to find out just why I love this dress so much!

Dress: Chicwish | Shoes: DSW | Bag: Danielle Nicole x Disney

I honestly can’t help but love show stopping-dresses like this one, even if I do feel slightly uncomfortable when I wear them.  I mean just look at how vibrant and flamboyant this dress is!  It was made to be ogled by passers-by.

The luxurious fabric of the dress adds to its overall elegance while the playful blue roses encircle the bodice and skirt add a bit of whimsy.  But what really drew me to the dress is the unique high-low hem that reveals a contrasting lining of the same blue as the roses decorating the exterior.  The stark contrast of blue peaking out from a mountain of gold creates a memorable, stunning effect.

To style this dress, I decided to up the wow factor just a bit more.  So I donned a pair of minimalistic, strappy red heels for a new pop of color.  It’s a bold and unexpected choice that can take a look from wow to high fashion.  I finished off the look with J.Crew jewel-encrusted earrings and my favorite Danielle Nicole x Disney rose-shaped clutch to mimic the roses of the dress.
