Sheer, light dresses are a staple in every sweetheart's closet! The dress flows as you move and drapes so delicately, creating a beautiful, feminine look.

This week's featured dress is dusty rose, a classic and versatile colour that will look great on anyone. The pleats in the front add a sophisticated and mature touch to the dress; therefore vintageinspired accessories are a great addition to the dress.

To give the dress some definition at the waist, pair it with a thin taupe belt. A great piece of jewelry to start is the seashell statement necklace in a darker gold accented with a black detailing to give it the vintage-brass finish. Oversized floral earrings, rings and bracelets look great with this necklace; the ones in the photo have rosecoloured jewels to match the dress and very detailed petals to add some detail to the outfit. An ivory oversized envelope clutch and beige Mary Jane peep-toes complete the vintage sweetheart look.
