Many people think of their grandma’s curtains when they hear the word “floral” but that ship has officially sailed. Dark florals are a huge trend this year, so prepare to see them pop up everywhere. We’ve been saving this outfit for once the fall weather (finally) hit – it’s been 80 degrees in Nebraska up until a couple weeks ago!

A patterned skirt is an easy way to make a fun outfit from the basic pieces you already have in your closet. We paired this polka dot and floral skirt from Express with a short sleeve turtleneck and added a gold bracelet to match the details on our Kate Spade cross body. And, of course, we went with our over-the-knee boots. Pairing tall boots with a short skirt is a great way to make you look taller.

So, if you’re anything like us and find yourself wearing the same dark clothes over and over in the fall and winter months, try incorporating a few printed and colored pieces into your wardrobe. Instant chic! What’s your favorite way to add color to your wardrobe? Leave us a comment!
