Hey Socialites! Floral dresses are my FAVE when it comes to warmer weather. You couldn’t find a happier print to wear when sauntering the runways of the Fashionista imagination. Ok, maybe I’m a bit dramatic, but you will agree with me when you take a glance at this recent Vintage Fashion Find. This stunning blue floral dress comes in at a whopping $25 (no joke! click here for purchase). And honestly, all I could think of was adding textures and tones to accentuate the ultimate peak of style and flare for this awesome dress.
I decided to add texture all around by using neutrals in my accessories. Since the dress has a summery feel to it, I thought this ultra chic straw bag from the Gap would be the perfect fit (click here for purchase). Playing off of the bag, I had a BCBG overload when I laid eyes on this cocktail ring (purchase here) and Belt (purchase here), which adds a flow and ease to the outfit, while making a subtle statement. Again, texture can be in your jewelry, as well, like this tassel necklace from BL Boutique (purchase here). And for the “Pièce de résistance”…we offset the subtle and bring in the POW factor of a rich and bold tone. Reds have always, in my book, gone EXCELLENT with blues. That’s why we chose this cutesy Red bow sandal by Paris Hilton (purchase here), because it brings an element of surprise to the table, while delivering a sexiness that will have you feeling like the supermodel you are.
Moral of the story: Florals are a girls best friend, but textures and tones can bring life to your personal style. Happy Findings!

Beautiful dress and the shoes with that big red bow knock the whole look out of the park.

Great choice, Trinidad!!
Feel like wearing that kind of dress today. Was walking by the sea and the beaches were full of people sunbathing and swimming.

Thanks so much! You TOTALLY should!!!! Floral dresses are awesome and classic. I love finding vintage pieces that can totally be modernized to fit everyday wear. Keep coming back for more of my available vintage finds.
You come up with the greatest outfits! Wish you lived closer so we could go shopping together. Today I wore black on black on black since I was at a conference, but wore patent leather shoes to give my ensemble some kick. Texture can indeed make a difference. Love the gold tassel necklace – would buy it tonight but have already blown my jewelry budget for a little while … thanks for the temptation : ))
