Friday Favorites: Vintage Garden

I was fortunate to find it on a big sale promotion so it's currently sold out

But check your local store or resale sites

Note: I added vintage handkerchief for added coverage on the neckline. The embroidery complimented perfectly.

TGIF! You know the list of 'favorites' questions you ask when you're getting to know another person? Favorite color, book, movie, flower etc... Well, when it comes to flowers, I believe that's a popular question because God gave us so many beautiful blooms that they're as unique as we are. So it's interesting to see which one out of nature's bouquet is someone's favorite.

FYI mine is a magnolia!

Florals play a big role in fashion and here lately I'm adoring the use of wildflowers and botanicals in dresses! I love framed botanical prints in my home and believe they're even more lovely in a garment.

It makes me feel like I belong in a vintage garden.

Rosy Posy

Who couldn't use some rosy posy delight?!! While we know that perception isn't always reality, presenting yourself to yourself and others in a delightful way can actually create delight!

The pretty prink blooms, in a vintage style print, are so lovely in this flowy maxi design. The ruffled wide scoop neck keeps it modern with a touch of sass. The fabric is light and breathable but with the right amount of weight to lay beautifully and resist wrinkles. The waist seam is just above the natural waist creating a long silhouette that floats away from the body at it's smallest point. Meaning it's beyond flattering!

Note: You can pull the shoulders down for an off the shoulder style, but personally I avoid strapless bras like the plague (or covid-19). Also, off the shoulder is cute but I fell like I have t-rex arms not being able to extend beyond my elbows because the garment will snap up and I'll have to shimmy it back down. #annoying

This ladylike dress speaks for itself so minimal jewelry along with neutral shoes & handbag pair perfectly.

I chose a strappy heel for a dressier look and a little height but a flat sandal or even a sneaker would be just as chic and comfortable.
