How to wear a floral print dress...................

 With the season transitioning so quickly, it can be hard to dress weather appropriate. However, I got this little floral print dress from Forever 21 for $12 a couple of weeks ago and it needed some more pizazz. 

 So I paired it with my favorite Chloe boots and an off the shoulder beige top from F21 and gold accessories. The first time I originally wore this look with black sandals instead of boots.


A quick shot of me digging around my favorite Vintage store.
