In our home, anniversaries, birthdays and all memorable occasions are very precious to us so we like to celebrate in our own way. On every 26th of June since we became man and wife, my husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary and this year was no exception because as usual; we celebrated in our own way which is usually a meal out if we can, exchange gifts and retire back home. Sometimes we think we are too homely for our own liking but we love it.
For our wedding anniversary this year, he ordered me this dress which I first saw when it launched and I told him about it casually. I was surprised to see it delivered to me because I wasn’t expecting it. I am a traditional woman like that, I look forward to receiving gifts from my husband even if I can afford them; he is my King, so why not? I think there is something so romantic about a man buying gifts for her wife/girlfriend/partner/fiancee. Do you think so too? Want to hear your thoughts in the comments below please 🙂
For my look today, I wore this blush chiffon lace maxi and finished the look with my beige pumps. When I received the dress, I ordered a hair piece in this colour but unfortunately it didn’t arrive until after the shoot; I would have worn it with the look.
As simple and as light weight as this dress is, it is a very hard one to wear / pull off because it was cut straight. When I move, the dress moves slowly which I consider romantic and sexy because of its sheerness and colour. To photograph it, I had to position myself in a way that my “curveest” bit was visible which is my hips.
This kind of dress will be perfect for a summer afternoon with flats, summer garden party with wedges or an outdoor evening gathering with open toe high heeled sandals
As you can see, I have my hair cornrowed in “Ghana braids”, I will bring you details, maintenance and all you need to know about it in another post. So look out for that.
