Hana Tajima x Uniqlo: The Flared Dress Two Ways // Part One

I love a caftan for so many reasons. The number one being that it perfectly conceals my ‘winter body’ without making me look like I threw on a mumu. The flared full-length design of this dress makes for the perfect light, feminine frock. Throw in a bell sleeve for a subtle feminine touch, an under $40 price tag and I was sold.

I am always attracted to mindless fashion. No fancy underwear (insert the oh-so-awful spanx biker shorts moment…you know what I’m talking about) and a regular everyday normal bra make the recipe for the perfect dress. I love this dress so much that this is actually part 1 of 2 ways I styled it. For this look, I took the belt off and tied it around my neck as a ‘Pussy Bow.’ Paired with a simple mule and cat eye sunglasses this look was easy + effortless. I could go anywhere from a lunch with the girls to a work meeting to happy hour.

This dress is also a part of Uniqlo’s popular series from Muslim fashion designer Hana Tajima. In 2015, the Japanese retailer Uniqlo decided to team with British-Japanese Muslim fashion designer Hana Tajima on a collection of essential items inspired by Tajima’s personal style. The line debuted in Southeast Asia and was filled with Tajima’s streamlined dresses, breezy culottes, and light tunics. Now the collection is in the US and I could not be a bigger fan. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this look and more from here inspiring collection.
