Moody Style: The Floral Dress & Target Gift Card Giveaway

Lately the weather here has been all over the place.  Over the past couple of days, it has been in the 80's and this weekend it’s supposed to drop down to the high 50's. As much as I love having a cool, crisp fall day, these warm sunny days are still pretty awesome and I plan to enjoy them while they last.

Do you have any pieces in your closet that you absolutely love? You know…those pieces that you wear over and over again? Well, I’ve been head over heels about this cute little number from Target. When I first saw this floral dress on a few other bloggers, I knew I had to get it for myself.  It’s super comfy as well as versatile.  It is a great dress for warm sunny days with a pair of sandals or strappy heels.  It also works perfectly in the fall with a pair of booties and a leather jacket for a chic look, like I have here.  And in the winter, I think it'll look great with a cozy sweater cardigan, tights for extra warmth and a pair of knee-high boots.

Has your fall weather been warmer than usual this season or has the weather been slowly dropping like normal? How do you like to wear your dresses when the weather gets cooler?

Moody Style: Fall Florals

Happy Hump Day Friends! Are you all loving the floral prints that have been popping up everywhere this fall?  I normally think of florals in the spring and even summer season, but I have to admit that I’m a little obsessed with the darker, moody blooms.  I love that these florals prints are flourishing in rich jewel-toned colors like burgundy, burnt orange, royal blue, purple, forest green and they are all set against a darker or sometimes black background.  I think these florals are just the right touch for the fall season.  And you don’t have to break the bank to keep up with this trend.  Check your closet to see if you have any floral pieces that can work double duty with your existing wardrobe. Keep your outfit limited to one floral piece and start simple by pairing it with a neutral.

If you don’t have any fall florals, then there are several ways to incorporate these blooms into your closet. A floral dress is a perfect way to pull off the fall floral look.  Pair a shorter dress like this one with some booties and a hat or pair a longer dress like this one with a denim jacket and some lace-up flats or heels and you’re all set. Another way to try the trend is wearing floral pants like this one and this one.  Since the pants are already a fashion statement, keep it simple by pairing it with a solid sweater or t-shirt for a complete look.  And finally, a floral jacket, like this one, can immediately add life to your look. Just add it to a t-shirt and pair of jeans or your favorite LBD and you’re ready for a night out.  What do you guys think about fall florals? Do you love it or do you only want to wear florals in the spring?
