The always lovely Stacey from Gray Skies (whom you should absolutely read if you don’t already) said she was “having a floral moment” last week. And I thought, “well, what about me? I like florals, I want to have a floral moment too.” And then I remembered that I don’t actually like florals that much because they’re often too pastel for my tastes. And then I found this vintage skirt:
And, et voila, I was having a floral moment of my own. I found the skirt while I was thrifting with Kelsey (Hi, Kelsey!) and took it home, hemmed it, washed it and had to wear it right away (as one does). I decided to pair it with a black v-neck sweater (Hinge via Nordstrom), a cream bow blouse (Old Navy), red tights (DKNY via Nordstrom) and brown, lace-up booties (Nine West via TJ Maxx).
Why that combination? This photo doesn’t show it very well, but the skirt is actually pinkish-red, black and brown:
So I wore the black sweater to pick up the black, the brown booties to pick up the brown, the red tights because I finally own some and the bow blouse to keep the top from looking too dark in connection with the tights and booties. And, frankly, I love it. Even though this skirt is not remotely good for riding a bike in, it’s a floral I can do and do happily so you’ll definitely be seeing it again.
How about you all, do you have floral moments?
Happy Wednesday, Everyone!
Gracey
