Winter Florals 2 Ways
Carolina Santos Read
Hi there and Happy New Year!
My family and I celebrated the Holidays in CT and Paris, and I styled a new Zara floral dress with velvet bow and cuffs two different ways, in each place respectively. I love the darker hues with floral allowing for it to be worn in the winter with tights and not just as a dress for warmer months. I first styled it with black accented floral lace tights and my Sam Edelman blue platform wedges along with my vintage Chanel purse. My makeup (see below) was a new palette from Charlotte Tilbury called “Vintage Vamp” which has purples golds and berry tones that I love for winter! I photographed this in my old bedroom since it is a girly almost doll-like look.
I wore the look again in Paris to see the Fortuny fashion exhibit at the Palais Galliera museum, only this time I added a velvet blazer and Zara studded strappy ballet flats to make it a little more edgy. I love these strappy studded flats because they are another great example of girly & rock and roll!
Florals can be worn in so many ways and they never go out of style. This dress has bows and ruffles so it’s quite girly but with the right accessories I love to give it a slight edge to go out.
Xo,
