SKATER GIRL

Let's talk about the skater dress trend! As you saw in my first outfit post I am a huge fan of the trend. When this trend came back on the scene last year, I immediately gravitated towards it, not only because in my head I am the long lost sister of Surya Bonaly but also because I believe it is a timeless, ultra feminine and versatile look. It can be worn by women of all shapes and sizes, once it's the proper size. The skater dress also reminds me of babydoll dresses, as a child I loved those dresses and couldn't stop twirling when I was wearing one and believe it or not, I twirl every time I wear a skater dress or any dress for that matter.

The heat and humidity here in the British Virgin Islands makes the skater dress a practical option for me  and I love that I can dress it up for a night out or for work or dress it down for a little stroll.

Last Saturday night my husband and I went out with a friend to a party and I paired my skater dress with a gold belt  for a more polished look, and wedges.

What do you think about the trend? Do you own any skater dresses? I would love to hear how you wear them.
