Dress: Zara (Newbury St, Boston Store) | Sandals: Zara (Newbury St, Boston Store)
I love this slinky halter maxi dress. It is so effortlessly sexy. It is a great substitute for the usual short bandage dress you would wear to a trendy lounge/bar. I added this strappy pair of sandals for a pop of color and headed out for drinks on a chill night out with my bestie!
Growing up my nick name was "Pink Lady" for my insane preference to pink. As I grew up I intentionally avoided anything pink; I felt pink was too girly, no one would take me serious. I actually pretended my favorite color was black just so I could seem "stronger and edgier."
I used to think anything pink and girly made me seem weak, like a damsel in distress. A year ago I when I purchased my bright pink Givenchy Antigona it was my way of proving to myself that I am strong, I am powerful, I am smart, I am edgy AND girly.
