Bloom Girl, Bloom

I hope today you’re blooming right where you are no matter what the ground conditions are like around you. Whether this is a season full of things that feed your soul or things trying to rob it, the world is filled with reminders that it is possible to bloom from the most unpredictable places, among rocks and sand and destruction. You can do it. We can do it. So today, wear a little floral reminder that YOU are strong, YOU are beautiful, and YOU are capable of blossoming right where you are despite all the world’ attempts to entangle you.

OK, let’s talk floral trends! You might see words floating around the blog-uverse that go something like this, “florals really dominated the Fall/Winter 20-21 runways.” While true, it’s not to say that it is something new. Let’s be honest, florals, in one way or another, have “dominated” runways since the beginning of runway time. (Geek out moment: the first American runway show took place in 1903.) For as long as little girls have picked flowers to put in their hair they have also found ways to put them on their garments and this year is no different. I’m here for it all!

Here are 4 ways you’ll find florals dominating this Fall/Winter:

Floral Coats + Jackets

ETSY

If you’re going to wear a floral coat, you might as well make it a one-of-a-kind hand embroidered masterpiece tailored to fit you perfectly. (* AND, sign up for their newsletter to get 20% off!)

ANTHROPOLOGY

This season a floral bomber is all the literal rage and this one is even better because it’s REVERSIBLE! One side floral and the other side striped! I die! Get it while it lasts…aka before I buy them all!

BIG + BOLD FLORALs

ELOQUII

Get your hands on this bold beauty while it lasts. It’s on SALE for like a bazillion dollars off right now! The front tie, long length + puffy sleeves make this dress a true experience to wear.

TARGET

I love this more subtle take on the big florals trend. The spacing helps to tame it but those lovely florals won’t be ignored. Plus, this flutter sleeve is a dream come true, draws the eye up, and helps accentuate or create an hourglass figure.

DITSY + DELICATE FLORALs

RIXO

I see you frolicking through tall fields of yellow blossoms, picking petals one by one and then cascading onto the yellow earthen blanket while little white butterflies flutter around you. Can you see it too?

Either way, this ditsy floral beauty has a picture perfect sway with dainty sandals or tall cognac leather boots and a corduroy blazer. You’ll love it!

BODEN

I love this brand and I LOVE this blouse! The variant of sized flowers give it a playful appeal while the silhouette of it is still sophisticated and classic. Wear it tucked into a waist accentuating pant or skirt to balance out the ruffled sleeve for maximum flattery!

VINTAGE FLORALs

MODCLOTH

I swear my mom had a skirt like this in the 80’s that I wish I’d kept! This ode to the vintage floral pattern paired with a more modern knife pleat lightweight fabric makes for the perfect match! And the black waistband lets you take this look into edgier territories too!

ELOQUII

This open neckline top with vintage yellow florals has me reaching for my wallet and game planning for all the perfect summer to fall transitional wardrobe opportunities! This is so so good!!!
