So I'm going to step outside of the box for a minute. If you know me, you will probably say I'm not a free spirited flower child. It's true! I tend to be uptight, incredibly organized, and aware of everyone and everything around me. I have a life full of rituals and routines and I couldn't imagine myself any other way. People may see it as weird and even a little exhausting but I'm completely happy that way. That being said, it's nice to put that away for a few minutes and do something unplanned.
This outfit was put together on a whim and completely out of left field. Rachel of Floral Prints and Common Sense let me borrow this pretty yellow dress. While she did let me know it was on the short side, I was a little stumped on how to make it work for my wardrobe. I just grabbed the first thing that looked "matchy" and this maxi skirt was it. I love the idea of wearing maxi skirts, have more than a few in my closet, but rarely wear them. I wish I could tell you why! I instantly fell in love with this combination and added a cute flower crown to tie it all in. I guess being a little spontaneous once in awhile works in my favor :).
You always have the most lovely mix of colours! I love this one especially, that skirt is too perfect! And I just adore your floral crown, and it suits this outfit wonderfully!
This colour combination is absolutely brilliant on you, love the citrusy colours!! Such a great maxi dress! I am definitely not a free spirit either, I used to find it incredibly difficult to "go with the flow" I'm a bit better at it now, but it still annoys me when I don't have a plan xJennaD
I really love how these thigns work together - the colors are great together! And that maxi is amazing on you. And I'm like you in that sense - quite organized - and I like it that way too!
I love this outfit that you spontaneously put together. The gorgeous ruffle and pleated orange maxi skirt looks so nice with the yellow dress. It's like a really lovely citrus outfit and your floral crown is the perfect topper for this!
Omg girl this is ah-MAZ-ing!!! Totally in love with these photos... Georg. And I'm the same- tend to appear carefree but I'm reality uptight and routined galore. Haha it's what works for us ;)
Simple yet chic, and you definitely look like a flower child :)
I'm the same way-- not being a free spirit-- and I love how confident you are in that! Sometimes I feel like I have to pretend or try being free-spirited when I much prefer organization and awareness even though some friends and family look down on me.
I am kind of obsessed with maxis right now, so I absolutely love this look! I think you should wear them more often! I love the color combo on you and the flower crown is so pretty!
Love the yellow and orange together. I like your flower crown too!
ReplyDeletegreat look! I feel the same way about maxi dresses as you do! I have one but somehow I wore it only once! But I love them :)
