From the Archives: Fabulous Fashion Friday-April 8th: Botanical Beauty

Today's looks are enchantingly botanical, whether it be floral patterns, rich natural colors, or lace that imitates plant life, nature embraced in fashion adds a down-to-earth elegant flair.
My first look combines a floral print tunic with a pair of dark wash jeans and grass-green silky flats for an everyday look that is truly one-with-nature:. 


  
Any floral print top can add a natural flowery feel to an outfit, but this one is particularly special because the flowers are pansies! Here is a close-up of this unique and gorgeous print:


Notice how her earrings and necklace compliment this look beautifully!

For my second look, I dressed up a rich emerald green dress with a simple lace scarf whose dainty fringe is actually in the pattern of leaves. This nature-inspired combination makes for the perfect look for a date to lunch or a day trip to the arboretum!


Here is a close-up of the lacey leaf detail:

The silver color of this scarf really helps the emerald color pop!


Whether you are a gardener or just love admiring the nature around you, look for botanical inspired pieces to help any outfit come to life.

Vous ĂȘtes beau!
