The Lily Girl


I love photo shoots with a very romantic, enchanted feel and a picturesque background. So this was mostly inspired by Ralph Lauren's Romance perfume ad, and Miss Dior's new playful campaign. (I know so serious right?) These pictures were taken at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton in case your curious. Previously, I had never thought of pairing this top with this skirt even though it's quite simple.

The top isn't exactly tight fitting and the skirt is A-line with pleats so I was worried about proportions. You don't want to pair a big flowy top with a big flowy skirt. First of all it sounds wrong, and secondly it will make you look infinitely bigger than a circus tent. This top works because it is slender, although not tight fitting, and the frills create a vertical illusion drawing the eye downwards. So watch your proportions; it's simple, just remember don't wear a flowy top and a flowy skirt or a tight top and tight pants. One of each only, moderation is key.
