Winter dark floral - YouLookFab Forum

Hi all

Some outfits to share.

No 1 (pics 1-2): Floral with LTA (little touch of aubergine).

No 2 (pics 3-4): Floral with flares.

No 3 (pics 5-7): Floral A-line brocade skirt. Yes, it's girlie and it's shiny and it's prom like. And I love it. So there

No 4 (pics 8-10): Floral with stripes. Posted on Sally's stripe challenge and again on Sally's floral challenge. And again now. That's what I call getting maximum mileage from your WIW.

No 5 (pic 11): Floral with more stripes.

I think that there could be a theme here

Your thoughts welcome.

Brooklyn, as always, Wow! I am so inspired by your use of dark florals. I have always been uneasy with florals for myself but the dark florals combined with other dark pieces have made me reconsider. Just gorgeous -- each and every one.

Mirjana

Wow, Wow, Queen of dark floral definitely. My cousin I love all but little more outfits with skirt. I think you are skirt lady, you wear them perfect. I like the floral A skirt on you. I can't imagine winter here is 30-35 degrees Celsius yet, real summer.

unfrumped

Super fab! I love all of them.
I have a few dark florals but would like to add more if I could find some all- neutrals like you've shown. Maybe I should hunt harder!

All round Killer Beautiful, Queen Dark Floral.

I'm going with #6 and #7 as my faves. Special to see you in an A-line skirt. LOVE.

#3 and #4 are my next faves - adore you in those bootcut trousers.

Sara L.

I love all your dark floral pieces. You look great in a skirt but I also really like #2 with the flares - they make you look especially long and lean.

One word only, DELIGHTED!!!!!!!:-)

Muffin

Gorgeous!!! I recently added a dark floral top to my wardrobe and am on the hunt for a few more pieces. You are providing excellent inspiration!

delurked

Like Angie, I enjoy the A line skirt. Plus your lovely jackets, and of course your mix of pattern, stripes, textures and colors.

The floral brocade skirt looks great. I don't think it looks like the prom at all, or too girly (the black really makes it less girly).

You look so fit!

karen13

All so spectacular, I am hard pressed to pick a favorite. You are Queen of the Moto, and the ombré one is amazing. As is the cuff. Unique and so special. Just wow.

skylurker

I really love the flares (besides I have a soft spot for this tulip top - and another for the toffee jacket) and the A line prom skirt outfits.

Laura G

Serious wow. The "prom skirt" looks are my favorites, along with #3/4. You're a master of what silhouettes work for your body. A bateau-neck top plus width on the bottom (full skirt or bootcuts) is just perfect on you.

And I want a door like that! Makes you look six feet tall.

Dianna

Fab outfits! My favorite is the prom skirt outfit, although all of them are nice.

Jenn

You're so good at this! #6 is my favorite, but I also really love your tan wool coat. That's a great piece!

Your skirt isn't nearly skimpy enough for an American prom.

Sal

Looking great, I love the pattern mixing and the flares are so much fun for a mix up!!

Joyce B

I love all the outfits, you are definitely the queen of florals!

Brooklyn

Thanks Joyce, Sally and Jenn!

Jenn, we have balls here, not proms. But it sounds like the attire is similar

Thanks Dianna, Laura G, SL and Karen13!

Laura G, I don't know what it is about the camera angle that makes me look bigger than the the door. My husband says it makes me look like Alice in Wonderland.

Smittie, really? It must be the wonder cuffs. Thanks!

Thanks delurked, muffin, Lyn and Sara!

Thanks Angie!

Thanks cousin MJ! We have had some warmer days in the 23-25 range, but it is still cold in the mornings and evenings when I go to and from work. Hence the opaque tights. I am looking forward to lightening up for spring.

Thanks unfrumped and Jill! I think you should be seeing lots of dark floral soon, if what's on offer here is anything to go by. I know a lot of forum members don't care for black, but I am also seeing a lot of dark blue based dark floral too. I am attracted to that also, but I have to put some limits on my floral acquisitions!

JAileen

I love all of them! I like your skirt in 6/7 especially, and also your tan wool jacket.

Jaime

Wow, you are the dark floral lookbook!

Joy

Love it all but especially the floral skirt #3 and your mesh cuffs with the striped tee.

Style Fan

WOW!!!! These are all amazing looks. I love the bootcuts but I would not be able to pick a favourite.

Aww, thanks SF, Joy, shevia and JAileen!

The Cat

I am not a very "floral" person, and most of my floral items are found in my summer wardrobe. However, I would like to thank you for showing this very inspirational collection of winter dark florals. They don't look too summery or too cute, but rather office-appropriate as well as appropriate for several other occasions. Great styling and combos! Now I will be on the look-out for some dark winter florals to refresh my fall and winter wardrobe, which mainly consists of solid coloured items.

Thanks the cat! That is a lovely thing to say. We will have to do another (updated) floral challenge later in the year.

Brooklyn, great idea! I'll look forward to that.

These all look stunning!

Aquamarine

Every outfit is chic and sophisticated. THIS is how florals should be worn! It's very hard to pick a favorite, but 2, 3, 4 and 9 look especially fantastic to me.

Firecracker (Sharan)

Wow, dark florals are you. What a fabulous set of looks! I will single out 8-9-10 because the pattern mix is so fun, plus the LTA as well! (You made me laugh with your LTA acronym. I'm totally stealing it now.)

Tanya

These are all stunning looks, Brroklyn, each and every outfit is amazing. I especially like the first outfit, since I am big fan of aubergine. You are inspiring me to look for a couple of dark floral pieces for fall.
