Simple and striking

There is something I’ve read recently that goes something like this: “simplicity is the essence of style-the more simple things are, the more striking they can be”. I don’t recall the source, but I couldn’t agree more and I don’t think there are other words that could describe this look better. The Alexander McQueen dress is breathtaking, the girl is beautiful and the entire look is a style staple.

    This dress is marvelous. It’s the precision of the cuts that makes it so perfect and, as you said Ada, you don’t need to add anything. The simplicity is the key feature of its beauty.

    I agree 100%. I love her blog, she always looks amazing.
    There’s always something magical about a long, plain, white dress.

    She certainly looks more beautiful than the certain Royal sister who wore a similar dress… 😉 Love these photos of Chiara very much. x

    This dress is perfection! Simplicity is definitely what guides my style — and pretty much everything in my life, really : )

    I completely agree with that quote. I find that the simplest styles are the ones that catch my eye the most. But maybe that’s because I prefer clean lines and solid tones? Either way, these photos are amazing and my eyes go straight to the dress.
