Look one - Short dress with white collar
Dress
A pink dress with a delicate floral print, short sleeves, and a large flat white collar. The length is just above the knee.
Shoes
Red open-toe mule sandals. They add a pop of color and a modern touch to the vintage-style dress.
Bag
A small white chain-strap pouch-style bag. The white color complements the collar.
Accessories
A pendant necklace and a bracelet on the wrist are visible.
Style
- Print: The tiny floral print is characteristic of both country and vintage aesthetics.
- Collar: The large flat white "Peter Pan" collar gives the dress a retro vibe.
- Silhouette: The flared skirt and overall shape are reminiscent of breezy summer dresses from past decades or rural styles.
The overall look is very feminine, light, and sweet. It evokes a sense of summer freshness and nostalgia. The blend of a country or vintage-style dress with modern, vibrant shoes makes the outfit interesting and avoids looking overly theatrical.
