In Bloom

I can’t tell you how amazing I feel in this pretty floral frock. I’d have never put this on a couple years ago. It’s the first time in my life that I’m embracing so much softness, certainly in my wardrobe. I know I’ve written that before, but it really does amaze me that my clothes directly reflect an inner blooming. I still don’t like many floral prints, but the colors here are feminine without being saccharine. The cream mixed with the blush palette, wine, and purple lends both a lightness and richness. The cut is so flattering; short length, tapered waist, cute sleeves, just the right amount of ruffle, and sexy button detailing. It’s an achievement when one piece says a lot. This dress speaks to loving being a girl, which also means knowing our strengths. It’s appealing without being too revealing. It’s a relaxed approach to feeling sexy and womanly. When you are comfortable and secure in your body, your hotness need not always be shouted from the rooftops. I recently wore this with tights and mini cowboy boots, topped with a chunky sweater. Soft florals are versatile in colder seasons with the right adjustments. What’s in bloom may change, but nature is always doin’ something.
