We Say We Love Flowers And Then We Pluck Them

The influence of my inspiration posts can very directly be witnessed in today's outfit. I just received this brass cross cuff from B lack Oak Jewelry. Originally, I shared the cuff as a dream piece in a "pretty pairing" post with a pleated white dress, so with it in my possession I had to style it that way. I love the delicate, but sturdy construction of the cuff and you can bend it to fit your wrist perfectly. It's the sort of piece I could easily wear every day, especially since I am a fan of gold/brass jewelry (warmer toned jewelry warms up pale skin). And my flower crown post on Friday definitely reminded me that I needed to brush off my own flower crown and wear it out. I always love to wear flowers in my hair; it's a slight connection to the Pre-Raphaelite paintings and ideals I admire. All in all, this outfit is a good example of how I tend to wear rather basic clothes (white linen dress, nude heels, and denim jacket), but attempt to show my personality and interests through accessories.

Outfit details:

Gardens of Whimsy headband

Club Couture denim jacket

BB Dakota dress c/o Modcloth

DKNY heels via Gilt

Deux Lux purse

Black Oak cross cuff

I love this outfit and these pictures. This summer I've been all about simplicity and I've always wanted to have a photoshoot in a railing so this is nothing but perfection to me!

This is a true summer outfit! Less is so much more, and the flowers go lovely with your hair colour.

Lovely outfit! You're right, with some good basics it's possible to create a nice outfit. And adding the right accesories put oneself touch.

oh these are beyond cute. I wear flowers in my hair sometimes (my german tutor once burst out laighing when she saw me and asked if I was in a shakespeare play) but never as dramatic as that - maybe I'll try it myself! x
