Addicted to Florals....


So...it's been one of those weeks where each morning I have woken up, I've had absolutely no inspiration on what to wear to work.....
Normally what happens is the night before, I suddenly think of something I haven't worn and immediately place it on a hanger, awaiting the morning routine (NB: I actually have so much clothing that I could go a straight two months without wearing the same thing to work..oops!). This weeks' work attire has consisted of nothing but comfort! It's not to say that I gave up on myself and just went all comfy, I just didn't have anything that struck me and made me feel good about me. However, this morning I was staring into my wardrobe and noticed something quite funny.

.....I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A SLIGHT OBSESSION WITH FLORALS....

Exhibit A: My wardrobe - most of it floral dresses!
 Exhibit B: My recently found headband collection
 Now, the great thing about florals is that they can be dressed up or down. For a wedding, I think 
I would wear something like this:
A beautiful peach coloured dress with an empire waist and black piping around the bust to define that area. It's very light-weight and really comfy! I would pair this with some small black heels and have my make-up done to the nines!
 For a day that was filled with comfort but still wanting to make an impression, I would go with the following:

This dress is the epitomy of comfort! It is made from a 100% polyester and is so comfortable to wear in the current climate. It's another empire waisted style (which I think suits me well) with a pink and purple based floral print, finished off with black piping and thin black straps. I wore this exact outfit on the weekend when I went to the Hunter Valley with my hubby and some girlfriends to do "Lunch with the Llamas". I paired it back with floral sandals, and honestly it was the best outfit for the weather on the day...It was 40+ in the hunter on Saturday! The only downside to this dress was that while out in the paddock, saying hello to the Llamas and some goats...the dress apparently looks really tasty according to the goats!! They nearly had a couple of nibbles :)

With the end of my post in sight, I thought I would pose some question to you all...
I'd love to get some feedback!!

  • What is your current clothing obsession?
  • Does your wardrobe follow a theme?

Until next time beautiful people!

  1. Love it!! Sometimes comfort is better!!! And lets face it your comfy clothes aren't exactly trackies and ugg boots!!! At the moment im liking the casual singlets with the big flowers and jewels over on shoulder they are comfy and can be worn both casual or dressed up!! I never really looked into my wardrobe until afyer reading this there isnt a theme as such but I did notice that I may have a bit of OCD as it seems to be some what colour coordinated by style!!! Weird!! Anyways keep up the amazing work! Xx

  3. I have a confession, I am a floral-a-holic too! This is much to the disgust of my mum, who detests most girly girl things. I tend to gravitate toward a more 50's inspired look with my floral dresses. This even includes accessories, love pearls to go with my florals but I have these really simple rose stud earrings that I have in nearly every colour (I love wearing these to work to girly up my scrubs). Even my handbag is floral, I do get a lot of admiring comments about it, I just love it. Sometimes I'm concerned that I might be turning into my nanna, but hey, I'll worry when I get a floral toilet seat cover hahaha :) love your dresses

  4. Not really into florals. Jules make me buy them. I do like that they are coming in bolder colours now though and not just pastels. New years resolution is to not buy any more black clothes!
