Autumn/Winter is my favorite season because of the cozy layering and luxe materials and colors. One my favorite trends for this season is dark florals. It’s beautiful, romantic, and moody at the same time. Florals are no longer reserved for Spring, and this is a trend that I’ve fully adopted especially living in Texas. My rule of thumb is to only try a trend if it works with my style, and I’m definitely loving this one.

With embroidered flowers, ruffles, and an off-the-shoulder necklace, how could I resist this dress?! Later, I realized it was inspired by this Alexis dress. It’s a perfect LBD (little black dress) for date night or girls night out. When the weather cools down, I could throw on a tuxedo blazer, booties, and tights for added warmth.
I could even try the jeans-under-the-dress for a unique and sophisticated look. Wearing pants under is my trick for shorter dresses, but I wonder how this would look with jeans under it?!
THE STYLE Rx: Dark Florals are going to be your new BFF for Fall/Winter! Be it a dress, top, skirt, or even shoes, they will give your wardrobe a fresh new look that’s both feminine (florals) and bold (dark).
The dark floral trend is super easy to wear!
- Keep it simple by pairing your dark floral piece with black to let the florals stand out. ex. Wear black jeans with a dark floral top.
- Find an accent color within the graphic print. ex. I could have worn emerald green tassel earrings with this dress or a blush pink coat over it.
- Decide on your mood! Romantic, edgy, modern? I went for a feminine look but could have made it edgy by wearing it with a moto jacket and booties.
What dark floral pieces do you own? In addition to this dress, I got this top for an upcoming Chic at Every Age post!
Hey Loves, sorry for the late post today. I’m still catching up from a crazy last week and busy weekend. The house is a wreck so I’m trying to get this blog post and a million other things done. I’ve been drinking TONS of coffee since Baby Girl still keeps waking up in the middle of the night! I think she is teething (like EIGHT teeth at the same time)! Hope your week is off to a great start!

Yes to dark florals print in Fall! I love it! Great look dear.
Eeek I hope teething is over soon! It’s incredible how many teeth can pop through at once sometimes – but sadly so painful for the little ones! It’s my go-to thing now if Baby Boy is grumpy – must be teething! Even though he’s really got most of his teeth now haha!
This is a beautiful dress too, I like the embroidery with the sheer fabric, such a nice combination Sam! :)
Hope you are having a lovely start to the week and getting a little more sleep!

Can’t really do dresses anymore so I go for dark floral blouses. Some of them I can wear as jackets over a camisole
Oh yes! That’s a great way to wear those shirt dresses – as a jacket or vest!!!
