Everything's Coming Up Floral

I was inspired by my most recent Woman's Day magazine. I don't ever really consider myself a "fashion blogger" because the reality is, I don't have strangers on the street telling me how fabulous I look all the time. I don't read Vogue and though I really try to keep current on seasonal trends, colors, and silhouettes, I went to school for English. Yeah.

Anyway, I digress. This spread in my dowdy Woman's Day featured florals and stripes. I have NEVER been a florals person, but for some reason, I absolutely loved the outfit they designed. So I scoured the internet for floral prints that don't make me think of your old Aunt Mildred's couch.

I especially love the new Eloquii Floral Pencil skirt, and am really considering purchasing that for the spring, to pair with a black and white striped tee. Also the ASOS peplum top would be adorable for a Friday night date with your darling! 

What do you think? Are you searching for your ideal floral piece?

With the erratic weather and busy schedule, I have found it difficult dressing myself with any sort of finesse or creativity. This eloquii wrap dress is so convenient to pull on when I am feeling tired and lazy. I've worn it with wedges for the summer and was inspired to pair it with a military-esque jacket. Houndstooth is such a classic cool-weather pattern and with a need to stay warm without unpacking my coats, I knew this scarf would be just right. Not to mention I have zero ability when it comes to picking out statement jewelry. 

And if you haven't noticed, I gave myself some blunt fringe for the fall. I joke about keeping my forehead warm, but really, I've been watching too much New Girl. 

How are you handling the change in seasons? Are your pictures as impossible to take as mine?
