Thank you to Angie S for sending us these pictures of her wearing the Nila Crochet Lace Capsleeve Pencil Dress in Jade:

This is a great dress that is perfect for day or night–and it comes in several different color options at www.lilyboutique.com. We think she looks amazing and absolutely love how she styled this dress with open toe pumps and a bold, beaded necklace for an eclectic look. We always appreciate our customers sending pictures of themselves wearing their Lily Boutique apparel. Feel free to send your photos to sales@lilyboutique.com and we’ll post them on our blog as style inspiration. Don’t worry– we’ll be sure to keep your name and information private for security reasons. Have a good week!

Here at Lily Boutique, we are huge advocates for making fashion your own. Occasionally, we’ll have our favourite bloggers drop in to tell us what fashion means to them. This week, Retro Chick took some time away from her busy schedule to voice her opinion. If you haven’t stopped by her blog, do! It’s all about helping you discover your own personal style by finding the best in affordable vintage, and ethical fashion and making it work everyday. Looking at seasonal trends, fashion & lifestyle events and issues that affect the way we live our lives. What Fashion Means to Me by Retro Chick ‘To me fashion is a means of self expression. I don’t think of it as following trends or having to have the latest ‘it’ shoe or bag, it’s about making the external you really show who you are inside (or who you want to be!). You might be wearing the same as everyone else, but you wear it in your own unique way. You can follow Fashion without having any Style. But if you have Style you’ll always be in fashion.’ Inspirational words from an inspirational lady. Do you agree that having personal style is more important than following fashion trends? x
