Pre-May Lookbook
"April Showers bring May flowers"
Since I haven't created a lookbook in a little while, I decided to base the theme off of this famous little nursery rhyme. Also, this could also be seen as a post-coachella lookbook, but I wanted to incorporate florals in a way other than boho looks.
Outfit Nº 1 - Floral Accessories
If you're not big on florals, or just don't have the resources available, then I suggest using this as a subtle addition to a simple outfit. In the outfit above, I kept the colors muted and simple without any colors that pop out, other than those included in the bag. I kept the base of the outfit clean cut by using all black items. I wanted to break the simplicity of the black by adding the ripped denim jacket, which added some texture, edge, and a little bit of color.
Items Used:
Bonjour Bizou - Tompkins Square Jacket
Callie's Picks - High Waisted Trousers
Nelly - Tie It Ring Body
Apries Ski - Crossover Knot Belt
Cheap Monday - Layer Boot Hide
PPQ - Belladonna Gabriel Bag
Outfit Nº 2 - Simple Skirt
Another simple and casual way to throw in some floral, is through an understated skirt. Put it together with some simple solid and textured pieces, and it comes together so simply and beautifully. The light color also allows you to freely throw in some unique colored pieces, like the violet netted top I added. Finish it off with a simple gold chain necklace for some added elegance with a touch of simplicity.
Items Used:
Original Future - Mauve Mesh Top
*Bonjour Bizou - Faded Floral Skirt
Callie's Picks - Satin Bra
Callie's Picks - Minimal Caramel Leather Heels
Subcouture - Peach Marabou Purse
Velvet Orchard - Rodeo Fringe Jacket
Hot Hot Buys - Hot Hot Buys Chain Necklace
*This skirt is currently at Callie's Picks for SC!
Outfit Nº 3 - Minimalistic Statement Dress
This ensemble is such an easy and sweet way to style a large statement piece. The key thing to remember when styling statement pieces that take over a large part of the outfit is not to overdress it. If you add too many accessories or add the wrong accessories, the outfit could turn out terribly (even when using the smallest, insignificant pieces). Keep them light and simple.
Items Used:
Callie's Picks - Flower Printed Oversize Tee
Cheap Monday - Clean Cut Shirt
Callie's Picks - White Box Logo Purse
RIO - Supersized Rope Hoop Earrings Left (Right earring comes as a gift)
Callie's Picks - Minimalist Alexander Heels
Couture Tribute - Black and Gold Coco Watch
Outfit Nº 4 - Pattern Mixing
I will never stop loving this trend. Make a bold outfit by mixing your floral piece with another patterned object. Here, I added the star pattern, and tartan fabric to add a little appeal to the outfit than just a simple floral top with matching bottoms. I added some spring booties and finished the look off with a detailed gold plate necklace.
Items Used:
Decades - Roaring White Blazer
Subcouture - Frayed Star Denim Skirt
Callie's Picks - Paisley Patterned Top
Callie's Picks - White Collared Crop Top
Vinyl - Black Sheer Pantyhose
Callie's Picks - Charcoal Ankle Boots
Callie's Picks - Groot Socks
Tommy Hilfiger Tribute - Tommy Flannel Knapsack
RIO - Solid Gold Necklace
Outfit Nº 5 - Starcoin Styling
This is a really sweet styling to finish off the soft springy days we're leaving behind. You can't deny looking a little fancy and elegant -even in SC. It may not be the best composed outfit you've ever seen, but this is definitely a simple and easy outfit to add in some florals into your ensemble.
Items Used:
Basics - Basic White Short Top
Pretty n' Love - Heidi Embellished Skirt
Pearls - Concho Buckle Belt
Voile - Chiffon Bow Scarf
Voile - Voile Gold Cuff
Voile - Pink Shoes
What's your favorite floral piece and how would you wear it?

ReplyDeleteI hope you can see this but if I had this item I would like to style this dolce&gabanna coat I just recently realised if styled right it looks stunning because I love that red so I would style it with simple colours such as black or white so all the focus is on this stunning coat. I would have included a styling but unfortunately I broke laptop so can't. Hope this is enough though :) thanks
