Scallop Edges

Despite being delicate and very lady like scallop edges easily provide a definite wow factor. They instantly transform even the simplest shorts or the most classic blazer into unapologetically feminine pieces and take chic dresses up few more notches.

Scalloped Edges by sunnydaysandstarrynights featuring knee length cocktail dresses

This cocktail dress provides the perfect evening or party look. The classic black and gold colors make this a timeless piece. Making it even more difficult to not purchase immediately this dress is currently on sale for less than a 1/3 of it's original price.

Scalloped Edges 2 by sunnydaysandstarrynights featuring beaded necklaces

Minus the blazer these relaxed fit silk shorts and striped cotton tank would be the perfect outfit to spend the summer in. And if you are going to meet some friends for lunch simply add a little extra coverage with a blazer.

Scallop Edges 3 by sunnydaysandstarrynights featuring a patent tote

For some reason this outfit just seems like the perfect way to be dressed during the day on a holiday in Italy. I love the floral cotton lace dress matched up with the peep-toe flats and floppy straw hat. The touches of blue is a perfect Spring color.

Peggy

By now, I'm sure you're familiar with my girl-crush on Joan from Mad Men, but I do have to give it up to Peggy for rocking some ADORABLE dresses this season. And her character, which I've really loved watching grow this season.

"let's get liberated.."

Rough and Cleaned

Before and after!
