Happy Monday! We’re back in Texas, and I’m getting ready to head to New York tomorrow!! IFB Conference, Fashion Week, and Family here I come!
This is a two part post because I’m showing you the sassy and then the sweet way to wear winter florals. A lot of y’all know that I’m somewhat of a girlie girl and LOVE hearts, bows, flowers, and such. Well, sometimes a girlie girl wants to feel like a kick a$$ rocker when wearing an ultra feminine summer dress right?!

And why not wear bright florals in the winter! Remember those J.Crew summer dresses that I got on sale awhile back {seen here and here}? I told you I would them later. Today’s ensemble is a little bit edgy – whoa, gettin’ kinda crazy here! {Don’t worry, Part II is the girlie version!} Whenever I want to toughen up a look, I alway think leather + booties. Is that too cliche?
The Style Rx: Pair a leather jacket, tights, and booties with a summer dress to winterize it. Bonus points if you walk around with some attitude to sell the bad a$$ look! Ha!
*My cousin found that Elizabeth & James blazer at TJ Maxx and nabbed it for me on clearance! The booties were found on sale at Last Call!

P.S. Don’t you love Mary’s style? Hope you had a chance to check out her blog over the weekend!
P.P.S. I’ll be posting a recap of IFB Conference and Fashion Week events next week, but you can follow my adventures through facebook, twitter, or instagram!
Full Disclosure: The erin necklace was sent to me complimentary of Outrage Fashion. In my usual fashion, I chose the outfit around the necklace! Hey, emerald IS the pantone color of the year!
Hope you have a great trip to NY tomorrow! :)
Really like the way you’ve winterised this floral dress, it looks great with the leather blazer! :)

What a fabulous mix of girly and edgy! I definitely have a feminine style too, but I totally know what you mean by wanting to look a little edgy sometimes. I hope you have a blast in NYC. I was hoping to attend this season, but looks like I’ll have to wait for September.

I like the idea of the summer floral with the leather, but I think I’d need another layer over the dress – just seeing that strapless dress with only a leather jacket is making me feel cold!
Love this look! And that blazer is gorgeous, gotta love TJ Maxx! :)

Love the way you’ve combined the sweet dress with sassy and edgy accessories. You always look so well put together! I hope you have a fantastic time in NYC :D
I want long wavy hair like you so it can blow in the wind. I love the addition of edgy to that girly. Also, does “finding designer steals” run in your family? :)
Have a wonderful trip to NY, Sam!

Love this idea of rocker florals!! Very cool :)
Love, love love this outfit! I’m such a huge fan of chunky jewellery and I love bold statement pieces like the ones you’re sporting here. I also like anything with a floral pattern, and think it’s great you’ve made it look that bit more edgy with a cool leather jacket. I recently bought a really nice illustrative tee from iron fist clothing and I’ll be jazzing it up with a few accessories.
