Flower Inspired Fashion

By Stacey Freeman 1 Comment

For one of my first fashion posts, I used flowers as inspiration to create a fashion collage (part 1, part 2). Even after a year of posting, we liked the idea so much, we wanted to repeat it again this summer.

Yesterday, I featured some of my favorite Southern California flowers. With these flowers in mind, I created three flower inspired fashion looks. This is my interpretation of the lilac purple, vibrant pink, and bold yellow flowers I’ve admired this spring and summer.

flower-inspired-fashion-purpleWhen I saw this Opening Ceremony dress, my first thought was flowers. I love the lilac color and the scalloped detail—almost like petals. It is such a pretty dress, and so feminine.  Don’t get me wrong, I love feminine, but I wanted to edge the look up a bit, so I chose a leather vest to add texture and some masculinity. The zig-zag heel mimics the scalloping on the dress, while the chunky ring stones give off a purply hue. The darker purple bag goes, without matching the dress too closely.

Dress – Opening Ceremony
Purse – Rebecca Minkoff
Vest – Vince
Heels – Loeffler Randall
Ring – Lanvin

flower-power-pinkPink linen pants are breezy for summer, and in this look, they act as a neutral. I paired them with this cropped white top with floral details to show off a slim waist and the fitted pants. The simplicity of the look is turned up a notch with snakeskin heels with gold details. I chose this bright pink graphic clutch because it reminded me of the pink flowers and adds a nice pop of color to the look.  The sparkly rose gold bangle adds a bit of bling, mimicking the gold in the shoes.

Pants – Loft
Top – Tibi
Shoes – Ivy Kirzhner
Clutch – Emilio Pucci
Bracelet – Michael Kors

flower-inspired-fashion-yellowMy husband got me some black-eyed Susans recently, just because, and they might be my new favorite flower. The golden yellow is so striking against the black/brown middle of the flower. I love this look because the black and white printed shorts look so crisp and striking against the yellow top. Touches of gold metallic in the bag and earrings add a little shine. The graphic heels aren’t too matchy, with touches of yellow, red and blue, which all meld nicely with the rest of the look.

Top – Fendi
Shorts – Aqua
Shoes – Schultz
Purse – Loeffler Randall
Earrings – Dean Davidson

What do you like about these looks? Do you use nature as fashion inspiration?

Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell your kids not to touch their hair. I can’t believe I have to say this or explain why this is racist. But I do.

I’m sure this seems like a random statement to most people. It might not seem like a big deal to you. But it’s not random and it is a big deal. It’s a common experience for Black people, and it’s not ok. 

Given everything going on right now, it’s hard for me to talk about a right to our personal space and bodies. That’s part of it. But it’s also about making my kids feel like an other.

New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing the story of my shock and surprise when my daughter told me she didn’t feel comfortable wearing her hair down anymore because so many of her classmates were touching her hair. And then being dumbfounded to find out my son has had a similar experience. I also share information on racial micro aggressions and history of Black people’s hair. If this story is surprising or confusing to you, please read more about why it’s never ok to touch Black people’s hair.

Weekend summer casual on repeat. During the summ Weekend summer casual on repeat. 

During the summer, I live in t-shirt dresses. I try to find ones that have built in shape, like this one with a little shoelace tied waist. I also add shape and finish the look by adding jackets or light layers.

I was going to post about summer fashion. I was go I was going to post about summer fashion. I was going to talk about my kids’ beach camp next week. 

But this can’t go unsaid. I am so angry right now. I am terrified for my daughter and women in the U.S.

We just lost a fundamental human right. We just lost control of our bodies. 

This is not about saving the lives of unborn children. Because if it was, then all guns would be banned - because guns are the leading cause of childhood death in the U.S. 

This decision is about control. About controlling women. 

If you have the ability to choose whether to own a gun, why can’t I choose the healthcare decisions that are right for me? This is no longer a democracy. This decision has so much greater impact than people even realize. 

If you’re looking for resources, I’m linking a comprehensive one in my stories. This is not a place for debate, this is a place to protect women and our rights to control our bodies. We must stand together.
