For the longest time, I shied away from wearing shorts and sleeveless tops. I have broad shoulders and broad hips, so I tried to cover up those areas. In the summer, I tended to wear mostly a-line dresses that hit at the knee, or other flowy dresses. More recently, I started trying out new things…
I rarely have time to shop. Most of the time, I either purchase things online (and then return 99%). Sometimes, I’ll grab something really quickly and take it home to try later. That’s exactly what happened when I saw this floral print bodycon dress. I’m normally not really into figure hugging dresses like this one. …
Remember last week when I talked about taking more fashion risks? Well, this floral suit outfit is waaay out of my comfort zone. Until recently, I’ve shied away from showing my curves too much.

I’ve been blogging about midi skirts for a couple years now. I love how feminine and pretty midi skirts look, so it was surprising to me that I didn’t already own one. This navy floral midi dress is actually the first piece I’ve purchased with the flattering mid-calf midi length.{Stacey’s Look: Ann Taylor Dress; Banana Republic Sweater (similar);…
One of my favorite looks for summer is a floral print midi skirt with a crisp white blouse, tucked in or cropped. Floral prints are so feminine and fun and I think the midi shape gives a bit of a retro vibe, while being subtly sexy. Midi skirts are still ultra-popular even though I first…
When I saw this look, I fell for the classic black and white floral print dress. Black and white is timeless, and as long as the floral print is fairly simple, this dress style could last for years. Both black and white and floral prints are very popular this year, but I like that both…
I think I might have found my new favorite 2014 trend, stripes and florals together. I was chatting with my sister on the phone while she waited for her airplane to arrive at SFO. She said, “you should talk about stripes on the blog, they are everywhere. It’s like every woman at the airport is wearing stripes.” It’s…
As I browsed the mall the other day, floral prints overwhelmed nearly every clothing rack and faceless mannequin I passed. The bold colors and often – exaggerated prints screamed, spring is here. I love the floral print trend because bright colors and fun patterns bring life to a wardrobe, especially for those of us who…
