"The Modern Princess Look"

What makes a princess look like a princess? Well to me, a princess is someone who wears really beautiful hairstyles. She wears big, sparkling, outstanding dresses that are sure to call the attention to whoever else is in the room. Everyone at one point or another wants to feel like a princess. But living in the world we do today that could oppose quite a challenge. If I were to go out in one of those big dresses I'd sure get attention, but not the kind a princess would get. Id get weird looks all around. So how do we manage to feel like a princess without getting those weird looks? Well here i present to you my interpretation of a modern

 "princess look"  

Now this is the full look. The dress although quite simple sure works its princess magic. I bought this dress at Abercrombie with an original price of 59.95 but managed to find it on sale for around $40. Its a strapless dress with the top being made out of a stretchy material and bottom of a quite beautiful lace.(Picture Above) This dress already being simply beautiful from the front what made me fall in love with it the most was its back.

The back while mostly open is closed off with a beautiful bow shape. I thought this was incredible. It gives it the perfect touch the dress needed. Every princess dress has it unique touch and this dress's uniqueness was no other than the bow.  Now as we drift away from the dress the best part of this look and that really makes it look "princessy" is its hairstyle. Now this hairstyle looks really complicated but the truth is that it really isn't. I don't think ill be any good at explaining it with words but feel free to use the picture as your guideline. The first thing i did is i curled my hair. And i curled it alot. My hair is naturally curly but the trick to this look is to play around with different types of curls. I used a mixture of a curling wand, some overnight curls and some scrunching up my hair curls <-----This is best with damp hair. Then for the top you kind of have to twist and bobby pin. Note this is a side look so after that i put my hair into a side ponytail. I wrapped a slim braid around it and that was it. I also found these little shining flowers which was an amazing touch and put it all together. And that's basically it. 

For shoes since the dress was already white i decided to add a pop of color with these electric 

 purple Calvin Klein kitten pumps. I then went on to add some matching bracelets. All together i thing this look is marvelous. And since it is a modern princess look it can be used for many occasions. Any where from a night out to a graduation i think really will work with this look. I hope this look helps you and allows you to wear the perfect outfit for the perfect occasion. So go on and be your princess self!
