OOTD- A Bouquet of Flowers





I spotted this blazer on ASOS's website awhile back and thought  "hmm, a flower blazer, this would definitely be different." But now that it is in my closet, I feel like I could fit right in with The Golden Girls. With quite a few years left before retiring to Florida for some shuffleboard, I've been trying to figure out ways to make it look a bit younger. I think this outfit I created was a pretty good step with bright color, pairing it with something tighter might be the way to go next time. A sexy Herve Leger bandage dress is certainly out of the question and budget, so I'm thinking a little hot pink number is in its future. Surely, not even Blanche would wear a flowy floral blazer with short shorts? Or would she??

  4. I do like the floral blazer, but I think you are right, you do have to be careful to not venture into grandma land. But, I love it!

  6. I like how you worked it w/the grey. Maybe think sexy w/your other pieces and that will keep the grandma vibe away? Or just go with however the outfit turns out and know it's your salute to Blanche or Rose. :) I would add hair to make a bun on top of the head, if that works. That's really 'in' right now and says youth, imo.

    @Gigi- I love a topknot and would totally wear a bun, but my layers make it look not so cute.
