Collaboration: Dresslink (Part 1)

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a company called Dresslink, an online fashion boutique based out of Hong Kong to collaborate on a blog post. I decided to break this down into two parts because A) the items that I am featuring don't necessarily all go together as an outfit, and B) because I have another skirt that I realllllllyyy wanted to feature in the next post.

I like this skirt below, don't get me wrong, but when it comes to Asian sizing, things get kinda wonky. I read the reviews and the measurement guide but I think I probably should have gone up one more size because this skirt needed just a bit more room at the waist. (For those of you that are unaware of how Asian sizing works, sizes runs much smaller than they do in the U.S.)

I think these are leopards, but don't quote me on that. The skirt itself IS made relatively well, but because it's just a tad too small I definitely have mixed feelings on it. Instead of pairing with the white in the skirt, I decided to go somewhat in the middle of the two colors and chose a faint blue for both my top and heels.

I also discovered a new spot to shoot photos near my apartment, which always makes me happy. There is this really pretty park right around the corner and I never even knew it existed. I do have to laugh though because there were some young ladies playing soccer in the direction of which I was facing and there were a few awkward stares (especially because I packed two outfits in a bag and pulled a high school sports move and changed under the clothes I was wearing - we're all girls here, so why not!)

Outfit Details:
Necklace: Belonged to my mother in college

Top: Forever 21

Skirt: Dresslink

Heels: Payless

Clutch: Dresslink

I didn't realize that the lining of this skirt was actually made into a pair of shorts, and I like that concept because it prevents a cool breeze from showing everyone in your local vicinity all of your girly parts. Also, it wasn't until I got home and took a closer look at my photos that I realized that I didn't get a great shot of this clutch. I love the color and the pebbled leather look though and almost wish I had got this in more colors. This bag also comes with a chain which is perfect because I'm all about being handsfree with my purses this year.

Check back again next week to see part 2 of this collaboration and to finally see my favorite gift from Dresslink (If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw the sneak peek of that post and noticed that the purse was strategically hidden in the photo - Hehe!). Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

And as always, feel free to follow me on any of these other social platforms..
