Truth be told i’m shocked how much I love this floral trend happening! It is a huge misconception that I am always girly. There is something about this dress that when I saw it, I had to try it on! Although it’s not like anything I would normally buy, sure enough I was SOLD! It made me feel feminine and I loved the floral pattern. Paired it here with a jacket and boots, now it’s perfect for a fall date night out! I do love to dress up, dress down and try new things. NOW, ask me if I would ever be caught wearing florals, definitely NOT! Sometimes you have to step outside your fashion “go to’s” when shopping and try something new! Go outside of that comfort zone, you might shock yourself. I just did!
FASHION TIP:
When you take clothes into the fitting room grab “ONE” thing that is totally different. Something you probably think you would never wear. The worst that will happen is, it goes back on the rack. Best thing, you just found something new and different to expand your wardrobe! “just try it”

Everybody loves flowers, whether we’re talking about a bouquet, a vase, a garden, or a park. Weave them into our clothes, and we’ll blossom, too.
You are teaching us that “fashion is art” and art can express one’s self in so many ways.
Teach on my friend!
Ps ~ I love those boots!
I don’t even know where to start with this amazing comment. It is literally perfect. (coming from a girl who hates the word perfect!) You have always had a wonderful way with writing. Do you remember the days of “you write it” …… and “I will design it”…… those were great collaborations! You taught me that great team work can provide great results! Write on my friend! Seriously my all time FAVORITE comment. Thank you and love you!
I love it! I have a couple floral prints that I like to wear when I’m in a whimsical mood. They’re fun! Lovin’ this blog!!! And I also love those boots!
Wearing florals does put you in a different mood! Right? You are super sweet to always support me, and I am loving your comments girl!
Just lovely!!! I have always loved floral for spring but so happy that its a fall trend this year! Definitely agree with trying on something each time your shopping that you wouldn’t normally pick. Some of my favorite items are things I thought I would never wear or could pull off. Love the message and this gorgeous look!!
I am definitely new to this floral trend, but I just saw this amazing skirt I love! Courtney you wear floral FAB! I must know your terrific finds from “just trying it”. I will look forward to seeing it on you girl! Good point though spring and fall are overlapping this year! What a great call out girl! Love your thoughts!
How many times have you told me that exact line. “Bring one thing in that you normally wouldn’t pick up”. Too many shopping trips??? Umm never! But back to the point I normally love that one thing! Adds dynamic to my closets and wardrobe! Love the jacket and boots with the dress and I also love you!
Okay totally caught. I do tell you that all the time. I am so happy to hear you love it! Your fashion, dynamic and style grows everyday! I love you for trying all sorts of new things with me!
One way to keep the sunny happy feeling is dressing
to create those feelings.
I find colors and flowers are one way to create that mood.
So….if it is winter and you are wearing black you can
put a yellow tee shirt under the jacket…or top of any sort.
You can then add some flower earrings….and wah la…..
its Summer or Spring or whatever season you choose.
I presently am creating a pair of earring that will have
silver as the general earring and a colored stone as the center……
Love Mom
Wah La! You do know I like to pop a color! Add flowers and i’m sold! This look was fun and different! Your jewelry always makes a statement and it’s a perfect way for you to create your own style! Rock on with that colored stone!
You seriously rock this dress!!!!! ……oh and those boots are killer!!!! …..oh and you are hot!!!! This dress makes me want more floral!!!!! I love floral though, so that’s no suprise!!!! I love the idea of picking something you would never wear to try on!!! When I’m allowed to shop I will try this!!!! Smooches lovie!!!!!
Girl you know how to make me smile! You kill me with kindness! Your personality and beauty is one I cherish! Oh and not to mention will power!!!!!!! You go girl!!!!!! But I must know the one “new” outta the ordinary thing you try on!!!!! And of course if you buy it!!!!! You are a gem! Xo!
I will let you know!!!! Love you!!!!
