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?

In the Mood – Tory Burch Private Sale

Today is the last day for the Tory Burch Fall Event sale. If you spend $250, you’ll receive an extra 30% off sitewide when you use the code FALL16.  It’s a pretty amazing sale and I really don’t want you to miss out on it. So, I’ve put together a quick list of some of my favorite handbags and other accessories that are still available.  I thought I was going to do more damage with this sale, but I only purchased the Thea Mini Bag.  It’s been on my wish list for the longest time, so I had to pull the trigger. Have you guys bought anything from the sale yet? Let me know in the comments.

In the Mood – J.Crew New Arrivals (October 2016)

Have you all checked out the new arrivals at J.Crew yet?  I hopped into the store earlier this week on my lunch break to see the new arrivals in person, but I didn’t have a chance to try anything on yet.  However, I did manage to walk out with this Perfect Shirt because I’m obsessed with the colors in this plaid pattern.  I can’t wait to wear it.  I’m also really loving the Rhodes Blazer in Houndstooth Wool – I mean those elbow patches are just perfect.   The next item on my list of things to buy is the love the houndstooth pattern and the elbow patches are just perfect.  I also think the Combo Tweed Dress is just darling for fall.  I’ll have to order it soon so I can try it on because I don’t think my store will get it in stock.  Are you guys excited about the new fall additions? Which items are you most likely to buy? My favorites items from J.Crew are pictured below and I’m sure they will  put you all in a good mood!
