Flower Power

Sometimes when cleaning out your closet, you find things that perhaps have gone as far as you can take them. Or, that you forgot you had.

That's what happened with these yellow Gap shoes. I wasn't sure I'd be able to pair them with anything. But then, they got a revival thanks to this daisy print dress that I scored at Marshalls  for $15(#fabfound). So, as long as this dress is around, the shoes will have to stay.

I think so far this spring, I've made a conscious transition into style that's softer and a little more on the boho side. I've just had this feeling that I want my clothes to reflect a different side of my style that sometimes takes a backseat because I get caught up in the routine of shopping a certain way. Now, instead of looking in my closet and thinking, "Everything likes the same" it's now more of, "Hmm... I forgot I have this." 

I've been a little more girly, and a little less showy. So far, I'm going with it. That doesn't mean I'm turning my back on my old ways. After all, I will never say no to a studded accessory, black wedges and obnoxious pops of color. It's just done in a way that doesn't clash.

Flower Power

The baby doll dress was a huge part of my 90s style upbringing. Baby doll tees, baby doll dresses - I lived in them in high school. And now, with this resurgence of festival style becoming more of a year-round thing, I couldn't be happier to throw on my favorite 90s throwback style. I found this adorable daisy print baby doll dress at Forever 21 and after trying it one (and doing a happy dance in the fitting room), I knew it was meant to be.

I can't tell you how happy I am to be back in dresses! Finally! I'm ready for my ombre to get lighter, nail polish choices to be cheerful, and to wear these laser-cut heels from Sole Society as much as possible. They're the first pair of brown shoes I've ever owned - I'm not kidding (Remember my stance on wearing brown? You can read about it her). 

I thought I'd try something new this summer in terms of my style. I still love my edgy pieces, but I want my style to be all about really girly dresses, feminine shoes other than wedges, and a boho chic vibe, inspired by the 70s, minus the smell of petrulli. I think this outfit is a good start. Don't you think?
