Simply, Karina



The best thing about wearing a dress from Karina Dresses, is the ease of it. You simply, put the dress on and you're ready to go. While I LOVE to style my Karinas (you can see some of my previous stylings HERE, HERE,  & HERE ,) the simple fact of the matter is that I usually just slip one over my head, pair it with a jacket/sweater, put on some footwear, and I'm good to go. And I go everywhere in my Karina: to the market, to lunch, to work, or to the pub to meet some pals for a pint. I dress. And go. 

The way you think of a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, is the way I think about my Karina. It's basic, its classic, it goes everywhere. But unlike jeans and a Tee, it's not mere utility; my Karina still retains my poetry. It's fun and flirty, and femme extraordinaire.

No need to focus on dressing, unless I want to. Time can be used for other things, like your real life.  My time has been valuable real estate lately- so I was loving the fact that it took me less than 5 minutes to put together this outfit and head out the door. 

My outfit consists of:
  • one simple accessory
  • a pair of tights
  • brown suede boots
  • and one amazing dress. 

And that's my point: when you want style that's good on the go, you wear your Karina. It's as simple as that. 

The Deets: A limited edition print- polka dots on a chocolate brown breathable microfiber. 
The Style: The Megan in a short sleeve. This is a curves flattering, cross-bodice, flirty A-line.
The Feel: Pretty damn comfortable.

  10. Hi Bree! Her, is in fact, me. Why did I put dots in the pictures? Call it artistic license- I wanted to convey the simplicity of style- and how effective it can be- my "point" so to speak- which is how easy it is to wear a Karina dress. Also, I liked the way it looked, sort of like a big polka dot! Thanks for your comments.
