Shirley

One of my favourite quotes on this dreary Spring evening;
 
"Life is too short; grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you cant change. Love deeply and forgive quickly, take chances, give everything and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy. You have to take the good with the bad smile when your sad, love what you got and always remember what you had. Always forgive, never forget "
 
 
In my last post, I introduced my next adventure: Shirley.  I've learned a lot in my life, maybe that's why I can't settle on just one thing.  I love creating, and I feel it's a way to escape from my own head sometimes, as I'm sure many artists can agree.  I wanted Shirley to encompass what I've learned in life, and maybe influence someone to do what they love as well.  I've created pieces that are flowy, free and simple, they've been inspired by the women in my life. The women who can make even a blank canvas look amazing. I want the women who buy my clothing to feel beautiful inside and out, dancing through fields with flowers in their hair! The best part about my line is that you can wear it everywhere.  Besides the fact that maxi dresses are huge this season, they are great for work with a blazer and perfect for a weekend date, or walking through the market.  Here are a couple of my favourite looks!
 
 
 
A boho maxi dress.  Elastic at the bust and again at the waist, ensuring that it will stay put! You can wear it with the elastic fit up near your bust or you can pull it down towards your waist, for a more "greek goddess" look!  A perfect canvas for a statement necklace.
 
 


 

 
 


 It's got ruffles, it's pink and it's a floral! What's not to like?
 
 

Another huge fashion trend this season is a maxi skirt.  So easy to dress up or down, and great for the office! Pair it with a white tank for a relaxed, fresh look.

 
 
 
I think that this next outfit is a great alternative to the bridesmaid "dress".  Many brides are taking this route this season!  A white tank, paired with a lovely skirt.  An idea like this is great, because the bridesmaids can wear each piece again!
 
 
 
My personal favourite is this next piece.  Also, another great idea for the boho bride and her bridesmaid's dresses.  It's flowy and cool and your best girls can dance the night away.  It's also perfect for pretty much everything else!
