Floral Fixation
Silence & Noise Jacket, Forever 21 Dress, Seychelles Heels
I can tell that the rate at which floral pieces have been infiltrating my closet has become somewhat troubling to my boyfriend. Last week when I brought home this dress (I lusted over it here), he questioned whether I already owned the same exact piece. Of course I tried to defend myself by flinging open my closet where three other floral pieces came spilling out. At least it got me to finally admit that I have a slight problem and that’s the first step, right?

a floral dress should always be paired with a leather jacket.
love it!!
I love that dress, beautiful in you!!
Love the florals, so very Luella!
this might be my favorite look you’ve done….perfect!
i almost bought that dress!!!! i looooved it
I love how you pair the leather jacket with the floral dress. The leather gives the girly floral a bit of an edge.
love this look.
By the way… this LA weather is driving me nuts! Today’s thundershowers/feeble rain barely even made a splash lol. We need some good soaking, pouring rain in LA, that’s for sure.
Such a cute dress!! Who takes these pictures for you?
the dress is so gorgeous!!
I’ve got that jacket in brown, isn’t it wonderful? I wear it all the time. Great outfit as usual.
Haha, I have the same problem as you (both a floral addiction and a boyfriend who notices)… then again, I’m not too motivated to do anything about it!
Hey if you want to get rid of one of your floral pieces, I’d be more than happy to take one off your hands =)
HOT outfit by the way!!
If its fabulous… Who cares how many you have!
Well, at least you toughened it up with a killer black leather jacket, right? I love what you did here, and I want that jacket!
I REALLY need to get myself a fun leather jacket like yours…I absolutely love the look! You really mastered the art of making an inexpensive dress look quite pricey! You can be Nicole Ritchie’s muse… : )
men dont get the floral thing. i bought a beautiful flowery romper at topshop the other day and teamed it with blazer.. he looked at me as if just descended from mars…. you look stunning! kathrinxo

Aw, you are so gorgeous! Floral + leather jacket = Perfect. Thanks for the inspiration!
So envious of that great leather jacket. The whole outfit is perfection!
It’s unbearably perfect with the cropped leather jacket. Surely he can’t argue with THAT!
I’ve always loved the leather jacket and floral print dress look and you pull it off with ease!
Love the dress!
Ah there’s nothing wrong with having a closet full of florals. They’re amazing and versatile and feminine …perfect!
awesome!! now I want one
Hi – Just found this blog. I was wondering what size you get at Forever 21. I tend to find the smalls are too short but the mediums are too big… Just wondering. Love the dress
This is just as awesome as I’d hoped. Leather and flowers … pitch perfect, Emily! I bet your boyfriend took back what he said once he saw how sexy florals can be …
this look is sooooo pretty! i love it!
I saw that at Forever and loved it! Just a little too short for me (the belly makes things rise up to unladylike lengths these days). It looks super cute with the motorcycle jacket though…that’s the perfect complement.
So cute and I love it is from Forever21! Your blog really makes my day!
Emily — your taste is phenomenol. You continue to wow. Thanks for continuing to share all your stylish tips and tastes with us.
Ooh, I bought a similar dress recently… but I never thought of pairing it with a leather jacket. You’re stunning, as usual.
i love that you paired that dress with a leather jacket.
I have that jacket and its sooo rocknroll. I LOVE it, love it.
looooove that jacket, the dress wouldn’t be the same without it! P.S. pleasssse add new items to your etsy shop so I can buy some! Liza @ http://www.hardrainlight.blogspot.com
It’s so sweet. Guys just don’t get the appeal of florals.
I always pair girly and frilly things with my motorcycle jacket. Love it!
Gorg combo for this crazy L.A. weather.

Super sweet and lovely!
I think it is great how you mix higher end and bargain pieces together. There seems to be a common misconception that you can only have great style if you have the money to buy designer clothes. You have definitely showed that is not true. The leather jacket gives an otherwise innocent looking floral dress some edge. I love it.
Oh I love the dress. I almost bought it the other day, haha. I’ve actually been looking for a floral dress to sport with my leather jacket too. I love it
theres no such thing as too many floral dresses!
love the pair off with leather jacket
I seriously love that ruffly dress. Boyfriend probably won’t have too many complaints once he sees you in this!
i’ve been eying that jacket, looks really luxe in person!
I bought that dress too! I love the jacket…the styling is perfection!
ah… i love it!! the ruffles are the best part.
i wish it was cool enough to layer with a jacket down here.
Boys will never understand that two floral dresses are not exactly the same. Haha. Love your sandals.
It’s so pretty!!! Dress shopping, here I come! Once the LA gloom and showers stop, that is!
you look dazzling. that jacket adds the perfect amount of chic!
Great combo. Hopefully “THE SUN WILL COME OUT…TOMORROW” (or today)!
My husband does the same thing! Except about black and white items. But I think the dress is adorable. It’s super cute on you. And I love that you paired it with the leather jacket to show a little toughness. Gorgeous shoes too.
that last picture is magic!
floral + leather.
yes yes yes.
xoxoxo
Lovely and summery!
I love love LOVE it! It’s perfect. I’m new to your blog and it’s fabulous!
It’s your BF’s job to complain about clothes!
Purely so you can enjoy the awestruck look on his face when he sees you in the “one too many floral dresses”.
Love the look!!

The whole combo is fab! And i’m never really into floral dresses but I might be open to the idea if it’s combined with cool biker jacket
This outfit could not be more perfect. I love how leather jackets look when paired with florals!
florals and leather jackets never fail!

LOVE. also, linking to you on smitten today in just a moment — to your awesome pet peeve/venting post xoxo
a gal will always seem to somehow own a similar outfit twice, so no panicking there. and floral dresses looks gorgeous on you so there’s no waste there. love how you pair it with biker jacket
love this look on you. I can’t seem to wear floral without looking too cutesy. Might have to take a tip from you and pair with a leather jacket.
sooo cute! your smirk in the first picture is adorable!
Oh I love the floral and I LOVE your leather jacket! I’ve been staring at that one on the Urban Outfitters website foreverrr!
aha! you did a photo update I see : ))
I have those same Seychelles in a darker brown on their way to me currently – are they comfy? hope so!

I’ve always loved floral clothes! Love that dress too!
How can gorgeous dresses EVER be a problem? I LOVE this (PS wearing a necklace of yours (Sort of, inspired by you)
Your BF can’t possibly be troubled by how great you look in it. Very enviable ensemble. Might have to copy it. Again.
there you go again with the edgy/feminine perfection nonsense!
what a pretty dress. I MUST go to forever 21 this weekend. I just must!
and I adore the leather jacket/airy dress combo. perfect balance.
Oh wow, I love how you wore it!
something about floral dresses & spring…can’t get enough of either!
Love the dress, and I’m not usually into wearing florals. You a always look like a model! Who takes the photos?
totally hot! love the pretty print with the leather jacket.
This dress is perfect! Light-weight, breezy material and not too long.
Saw the jacket online a few weeks ago and was unsure how it would look in person. But it looks FANTASTIC, especially paired with the dress. I’m getting one right away, that is of course, if it’s not already sold out!
I’ve been lusting after a leather jacket just like that one…Looks great with dresse.
You look so pretty. IMHO, the perfect combo is a floral mini dress with a leather jacket.
xo, Becs
AHH dainty florals and tough leather is my favorite combination everr
beautiful – love the combination of a leather jacket & floral dress.
Urban Outfitters has some pretty sweet floral prints as swell!
Love the combo. The leather toughens up the floral just enough!

I love this combination of a leather jacket with florals!! That dress is gorgeous…love the bright and colorful floral print!!
I love this look…I like the contrast of the leather and the feminine floral. looks great on you. very edgy but also soft.

i love your blog.
Oh i love how your paired the floral dress with the leather jacket. *yoink* that’s me stealing this outfit. lol.
I love the outfit! and the dress is lovely!
Wow what a great dress! The colors really pop! Pairing it with a leather jacket balances everything perfectly.
I did an outfit post with this dress a while back. I had to have it after seeing it on bleachblack and your blog and I must say I love it. You can make it a mini dress by pulling elastic waste up or leave it regular. I love it! I had to wear mine with just a denim shirt that day since its stupid humid here. I can’t wait to pair it with my black moto jacket as you have done so wonderfully. Love the blog and frequent it often, please stop by sometime!
you’re so pretty. i love the floral with the jacket.
great outfit! i like how you’ve paired the more neutral shoes with the black jacket too.
have a great day, emily.
I love how you paired the leather with the feminine florals…gorgeous!
i love that dress so so much!! and ive had that leather jacket bookmarked for a while…i was just iffy about it because i didnt know how the size would be. but i love it!
I love that dress and how you matched it with a leather jacket. I’ve been meaning to do that recently and you’ve given me the inspiration to do it! haha
xxx – A Vogue Idea… I’m back!!!
Who cares if you have a gazillion of floral pieces, this dress is so gorgeous! I absolutely love the heels and jacket you’ve matched it with, gives it such a nice relaxed feel
