I still do like floral prints, but they can't be to floaty, frilly or fussy - the girlier they are, the more manly I'd feel. So I was delighted when I saw this lovely retro floral dress in a charity shop a few months ago (it was the last thing I actually bought myself - how bad is that for a fashion blogger?). It has a slight 50's feel to it, with the button down style and contrasting sleeves.
To add a bit of edge, I teamed it with my spiked boots (which have a strange rattle in the heel - what the hell is that?) and my faux fur beauty as it was still a little but chilly...

Are you girly, or do you have a more tom boy style?

I really like how you've styled this dress! I think my style changes to suit my mood ha, so it's a great dress in that you can make it girly or more tom boy! xx
ReplyDeleteLove love love this outfit on you xx
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty. You don't look like a man in drag at all!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely more comfortable in a tom boy style. My formative years were styled on jeans, leggings, band tshirts and army boots/DM's. My going out outfits are usually styled around black jeans/trousers even now.
I am sooo not a girly girl too! I wore baggy t-shirts with "Linkin Park" written on them and huge overalls that made me even flatter than I already was, lol :D
ReplyDeleteLove this girly dress on you though, the flowers are so dreamy!
This dress is so cute, what a bargain! I love wearing florals but I also like looking grungey...It's good to mix things up! ;)

So beautiful, I adore your dress! I'm all about comfort, which for me is usually leggings and a smock dress at the moment! <3

You look so pretty Gem, the dress is a real treasured find <3
ReplyDeleteI agree about dresses; I find the fussier they are the more I'm put off, I can't stand frills or extreme bows or anything like that, I think less is definitely more for me!
