Trendy Tuesday: Flower Power

Hello and happy Tuesday my loves...

I hope everyone had a very great and relaxing weekend.

I didn't do anything too, too special.  I received some new things for my shop, Miss Rockwells Racks, I spent some time with my goddaughter, and had some much needed 'honey time'.

I was intending to do a Savin' Maven Monday post yesterday but life got the best of me so I'm here today with a new edition of Trendy Tuesday.

Florals have resurfaced on the trend scene this year and I'm feeling all sorts of happy about them.  They're so feminine and chic. Prabal Garung hit the nail on the head with the line that was released at Target earlier this year-it's all about pretty florals and lots of color.

I'm Feeling Like A Million Bucks....

Today marks a new installment of Everybody Everywear! For those of you who are unsure of what that is, it's a clothing collective where each month the curators, Liz and Linda, pick a classic piece of clothing for the participants to style. I love to see everyone's different styles and takes on such ordinary pieces.

This month we are rocking FLORALS. If you read my post here then you know how much I'm in looovvve with beautiful flowered fabrics. And with so many to choose from in my closet, it was kinda hard for me to decide which one to rock.

I ultimately went with this look:

(Psssstttt....this is also my Color Brigade look for the week. Click here to see what other colors the lovely ladies are rocking and don't forget to congratulate Kileen on her recent nuptuials).

SlacksShirtPeepToesBag-Thrifted/Belt-XXI

I added some pearls and a wide belt to add a classy edge to my cotton floral. I threw on my peep toe sandals and felt like a million bucks. I feel like I'm going to be rocking this same 'fit again in the near future!!

These great navy blue polyester pants were found in the men's section while out thrifting.  I have mastered the art of predicting what will fit me just by looking at an item because I haaaatttteee going into the fitting room. However, since these pants were in the men's section and didn't have a size on the tag  I broke down and went to the fitting room. They were a perfect fit. Price tag-99 cents!!!

This lovely cotton floral is a Mossimo branded thrift item as well...Price tag-99 cents!!! I love how I can dress it up or even pair it with some jeans and it still keeps it's sophisticated flair!

Ahhhh....now my favorite part! The shoes. In last Friday's post, I talked about shoes and how I'm in love with the Nine West brand because of their comfortability and style. Here's one of my latest additions:

An awesome cream colored peep toe heel with studded bows. Yet another thrift find. I watched the ladies seethe with anger as I quickly snatched these up and put them in my basket. Finders, keepers ladies.

Price tag-$2.98

I spent well under $30 on this 'fit but I feel like a MILLION BUCKS!!!

I can't wait to see what 'everybody, everywear' else is wearing. You can click here to see for yourself.

How do you rock your florals?

It's A Dangerous Love Affair...

I want this...

Tucker for Target Dress

I've always had a dangerous love affair with prints, so when I saw that tons of the ladies on Katy's 'Spring Trend' post for Friend Friday. I knew that florals would be my new obsession for this season.

Since today is 'BLUE' day in the Color Rotation, I decided to rock this lovely floral:

Floral..Slacks-Thrifted/Pumps-Payless

I scored this for 99 cent on one of my thrifty escapades! And it's Liz Claiborne. Now back in my hey day, I wouldn't have looked twice at a Liz piece but now that I know the true value of fashion, I wouldn't pass up on a piece like this-and the floral print makes it all the more breathtaking!  I loved how the golden flowers contrasted so perfectly with the dark hues. I added a cognac belt and mustard beads to spruce it up a bit and bring out the colors even more.

My slacks have a slight burgundy pinstripe in them that matches perfectly with the burgundy flowers in my shirt.

How do you rock your florals?

And after you've shared with me how you like to rock your florals, go and grab

The Social Network because it's going to be a rainy night (well in Virginia it is). I know, I know this is an old movie but since I only share movies with you once a week, my list is hella backed up!! Anywho, the BF and I were on the fence about this one because we thought, 'well who the hell wants to watch a movie about Facebook'? We were very pleasantly surprised and we had our eyes glued to the screen the entire time.

The Social Network

MY RATING 9.3/10

If you're not into movies, go grab yourself a good book. This week I'm reading book #7 of 52-

Love Thy Sister, Watch Thy Back by Denise Campbell. Sooooo riveting. If you like drama filled novels, this is definitely for you.
