22 Jul Frocks ‘n’ Frills
There’s a science to wearing your florals well.
Go to great lengths: Flaunt a floor-sweeping dress. Don’t do ordinary: Stand out from the crowd with dark, sultry florals instead of pinky girly roses.
Metallic threads give floral prints a rock ‘n’ roll edge. Scientifically proven to boost your party spirit.
A rare case where I vote for maximalism. Layer your jewelry to bring luxe to a bohemian outfit. Then use a bold, structured blazer to make a statement.
Match your metallics to your skin tone. Warmer complexions suit golds and rose golds, and for cooler ones try silvers, chromes and oil-slick hues.
Bend the Rules. Wellies with your frocks.
This is fashion anarchy -anything goes.
Don’t save your frocks for a special occasion. Don’t keep your jewelry in a jewelry box.
TODAY IS SPECIAL ENOUGH
Don’t ignore the lacy / sparkly / backless sartorial wonder that lives into the back of your closet, it’s a waste of time don’t wait, do not hesitate tomorrow is promised to no one.
Life should be a source of experience to be lived up to,
same goes for our jewelry and our frocks…

Posted at 13:11h, 22 JulyThat’s a lovely dress and I like how you use different accessories to jazz it up even further. These are some great tips on how to choose floral prints especially for those who hesitate to. i like long flowing dress and skirts with many bright floral patterns in summer.

Posted at 14:55h, 22 JulyI love the colors in that dress and that it isn’t all bright and cheerful and girly. It definitely makes a statement. And great thoughts about every day being special enough to wear the dress and jewelry.

Posted at 11:24h, 23 JulyVery glad you liked the concept Stephanie! And, yes, let’s all wear our fancy dresses and jewelry and run our errands!
Heather
Posted at 16:28h, 22 JulyLove the look! I wish I could wear flowy things like this! Since I am short I need to keep the bold florals a solid color or I look like a clown!

Posted at 11:23h, 23 JulyI feel the exact same way. with my red hair on top of that I think I can only get away with black and white. But when the right D&G dress comes along…
Nicole
Posted at 20:35h, 22 JulyI love the edgy take on florals! SO much better than pinks and frills.
the_chelf@yahoo.gr
Posted at 11:22h, 23 Julyyes yes yes! It’s all about dark romance and sultry bold prints!

Posted at 02:01h, 23 JulyGorgeous dress! I love the idea of today being special enough to wear special clothing. So often I save my “nice” stuff so I rarely get to enjoy them.

Posted at 11:20h, 23 JulyChrista, I think today is a great day to change that 😉

Posted at 02:40h, 23 JulyThat dress is so pretty! I love how you paired it with Wellingtons, too. I bet a cowboy hat and a pair of cowboy boots (or even just the boots) would be even more stunning with it!
