SPANISH ROMANCE

(Let me preface this post by saying I am sadly totally battling the flu, so if this isn’t my best post and/or grammatically correct, my apologies)

I love, love a dark floral. Something about it is so Spanish and romantic, right? I also (obviously) love love an off the shoulder (anything), so I was all about this fab Alice & Olivia creation when I saw it at Saks in South Coast Plaza.

The frilly detailing along the top and the sheer lace along the hemline give this dress such personality. It came with a self tie belt, but I am all about changing out to your own. This B Low the Belt creation is my life lately. With my favorite high waisted jeans for date night and over billowy tops…it just spices up any look. I knew it would give this otherwise super feminine dress an Western edge (which I love).

To make this look even more fun, I went with my yellow Balenciaga (color no longer available, but here is the exact size/style). How fab is this color? I have used this little gem nonstop since getting it years ago. A fab size with the must have crossbody strap.

My sunnies, the usual Illesteva’s, were the perfect last touch to this look. Just that last little tinge of fun. I look forward to wearing this loveliness over + over again!

Here are some of my other favorite dark floral/romantic Spanish pieces:
