Today's How To: How to make a floral dress... not so floral

I don't know about any of you, but sometimes the site of a brightly colored floral dress kind of makes me blind just a little bit. This week, I'll show you how to do up your disgustingly girly girly dress and make it into and edgy/urban outfit suitable for nights out on the town or casual meetings during the day that will set you apart from every other girl in a pretty flowery dress. Since forever21 has almost every basic need for a princess such as yourself I'll use their pieces for examples.

First, choose your type of floral/summery dress you'd like to wear. I choose this one:

Floral Daze Silk Dress

This dress although bright as hell, has an amazing A line to it which already sets it apart from the strapped dresses.

Second, depending on the weather, I'd go with a light leather jacket, blazer, or vest to go on top. I choose these:

Denim Naval Blazer

Cozy Faux Leather Jacket

Satin Grosgrain Belted Vest (use without belt)

Third, pick out a pair of dark colored heels preferably black or dark blue OR neutral works too. I choose any of these:

Wedge Platform

Natalia Peeptoe Pumps

Workman Peeptoe Bootie

Mistress Buckled Stiletto Heels

Opened Toe Oxford Heels

Fourth, ice the cake off with some BLING! Bangles/rings can definitely accent the entire outfit whereas a heavy necklace and crazy earrings makes it too busy and cluttered. When wearing a busy dress choose a simple necklace to enhance the look.








When wearing an ensemble like this during the day, neutral colored makeup adds a sophistication to the look as a whole as well as wearing your hair up in a bun or a ponytail. For nighttime use, keep the neutral makeup except rock it with a pink or red lip and wear your hair down. Put your outfits together and show me how you made this look your own! Can't wait to see what you've got!

vintage blazer; target turquoise summer dress; aldo necklaces; forever21 ring/sunglasses; seiko watch

This blazer has to be one of my favorite pieces in my closet just cause I put it on everything and it makes everything that much more sophisticated and classy. Plus black goes with everything :] Bright colors like on this turquoise dress is excellent for this summer and for people who have medium skin complexion. It really does the body justice.

I did not have a good sleep at all last night so I've been cranky all day today :[ Upside is that me and Savian got to watch Toy Story 3 twice! Last night we had a date and today we went again with the boyf and his son. GO WATCH IT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! <3

This nasty, humid, and almost intolerable New Jersey heat is really starting to get to me. I can't even be outside for 2 seconds without me not being able to breathe because the air is just way too thick and hot! Thank God for AC right? Me and a couple of friends went afternoon drinking yesterday (I know on a Monday?!). Heres a picture of Brick House's crazy coasters.



... and here's some shots I got of some of my jewelry incase you can't see my necklace in the previous pix




GOOD DAY! <3 rox
