Season Spanning Florals

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog! 

This week, I'm getting one last wear in for a few of my lighter weight floral dresses

I can hardly believe it will soon be time once more to switch out my closet-

summer passed by so quickly!

  Currently I am starting to sort out what to pack away

 for the next spring and summer season,

and what pieces can stay out a little longer to span the bridge season

 At this time of year, I also note what pieces have not been worn and why

I am not as quick to donate or consign, lately

When I look in my wardrobe, I like what I have better than what I see in the stores

  

My first dress is a faux wrap midi with a full tiered skirt

It has a pinkish mauve background with a lot of colors in the floral print,

  which is good for lots of mixing, matching and layering possibilities 

For this nearly fall wear, 

I am layering the dress under a denim vest and with a navy blue belt 

Accessorizing with a taupe top knot headband,

burnished gold tone arrow collar necklace and hoop earrings 

Carrying an off white reptile embossed handle bag

 I'm not as crazy about as I thought I'd be what I purchased it,

although I love the shape

 Re-purposing a pink leather neck/hair tie by   

 attaching it to the loop for the detached cross body strap to dress the bag up a bit 

Suede shoe booties with stacked wooden heels to finish to look 

Here is another printed dress, this one I wore on the blog in June in a post about florals

It has more autumnal colors, so I thought it would be well suited 

for layering an early fall look

Honestly, it's a very pretty dress, but after a couple of tries,

I don't like this color on me any better in the fall than I did in the summer

 I think this dress may be one that is headed for the consignment shop! 

To accessorize, a taupe leather sash belt and 60's vintage embossed clutch

Gold tone jewelry seems right for this outfit

so I chose an open cuff bracelet, hinged collar necklace

and a pair of 50's atomic clip on earrings I ordered from Etsy

A took a gamble on these earrings and they are a success story-I love them!

Metallic perforated block heel slides to finish the outfit

I wear lots of florals into the fall

Here is a green floral dress from autumn 2018

Flowers for the beginning of fall: Chrysanthemums!

Hope everyone has a good week!
