Dark Floral Dress, Side of Moody
Dark florals are my jam.
I love that floral prints are having a continued moment. A cheery floral print is always a win in my book. They seem to magically grant you a happy attitude just by slipping it on. I was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of brands still leaning into this trend despite the season. They’re a happy dose of needed cheer when it comes to winter wardrobes.
In my searches, I have had a tougher time finding darker floral patterns. those to me are the perfect way to marry these jolly prints and the time of year. When this maxi popped up at H&M, I knew that I needed to have it. Subtle but present with a touch of moody is exactly my speed.
To style it, I paired it with a neutral Gigi Pip hat and matching booties from a local store here in Grand Rapids. I have worn it a lot which makes me extra happy considering H&M falls into the fast fashion category. I am by no means strictly sustainable when it comes to my purchases, but in that spirit, I do like to stay cognizant of the longevity/wearability of the items that I buy.
Other ideas: think that it could be really fun with hair up + statement earrings. On another day, I wore with a pair of my favorite loafers and a cropped leather jacket. Options, meet endless.
Are you digging this floral movement or are you over it? If you aren’t reaching for floral fabrics, what patterns are you loving these days?
