Hi, sorry I haven't been posting in a while, it's been super busy with work and kids! I have a big backlog--lots of outfit collections to post when I get more time. I've been working through lots of fun themes (Valentine's, Lunar New Year, etc). Anyways, I thought I'd try a quick "what did I wear best" floral dress post.
I initially bought this AllSaints burgundy floral dress on sale and wore it with my Burberry burgundy trench in the winter. I recently bought a fuchsia coat that is great for transitioning to spring/summer and it works with a lot of my wardrobe (will post a outfit collection with the coat). And I've been on a pink kick so I've been wearing the pink bag and pink ballet flats a lot. The fuchsia coat works with the burgundy dress too.
Because I can't resist buying multiples of tried and true outfits, I also bought the light blue version of the floral dress. I figure the burgundy is good for fall/winter and light blue is more of a spring/summer (but I still plan to wear both year round).
I wanted to try something new, so I paired it with an army green jacket from rag & bone that I got on sale. It's a Japanese wool military inspired jacket. Normally I would have bought the black because it's more my color than green/olive, but I felt like the army green was more interesting than the black and matches the military details of the coat. I paired the army green jacket with Doc Marten combat moto boots to lean into the military vibe. And called in the cavalry with a horseshoe necklace, horse bracelet and equestrian leather Hermes bracelet. And used a slouchy burgundy hobo messenger saddlebag. I like how the frilly floral dress contrasts with the tough military jacket and boots. The other outfits are purely feminine.
What do you think? Which version is your favorite, 1, 3/4, or 5/6?
Can I pull off the less flattering colors like baby blue, pastel pink and olive green, or should I stick with deep autumn colors like fuchsia and burgundy?
