Turning Heads Linkup-Trending Now: Dark Florals and Over the Knee Boots

 

img_5676

Hello friends!

Happy Turning Heads Tuesday! Have I told you  that I can’t wait for the Holidays? I love giving gifts and can’t wait to celebrate. I decided to change it up a bit, but if you missed my Holiday LOOK #1, and Holiday LOOK #2,  which was yesterday, please do check them out!  I love dressing up for the season. I will be sharing more Holiday looks on the blog, so keep posted!

I truly do not venture into the mall, ( and certainly not at this time of year!) as I enjoy shopping on-line. There are those once in a while times, if I need to try the makeup at Sephora, or try on a dress at H&M that I will go there. Usually my hubby and I go there once in a blue moon, on Wednesdays, as that is when Firebirds has their Double Black Diamond Pineapple Martini special. This is how you get him to go to the mall..food and drinks!

Anyhow, the store closest to Firebirds is H&M and I don’t have to venture far. I went in the other day and really think the quality of H&M has improved over the years. I saw this dress and loved the pattern. Where I usually do not wear much black, I loved the purple and pink floral pattern and thought the length would be perfect with my Over the Knee boots.

I do not wear or buy into all trends, but these are several I have always liked. I paired the dress with some vintage inspired purple jewelry, my black buttery leather OTK boots by Vera Wang, and added color by pairing it with this rose colored moto jacket from Mango. I have been waiting to wear this, and with Charlotte’s temps the way they have been, the moto jacket is all that is needed. If you are not fond of wearing black near your face, a moto jacket in a complimentary color works out well.

I do enjoy wearing OTK boots and my favorite sillouette with them is either a shorter dress with tights, a sweater dress, or a mini skirt and blazer. One can wear them at any age! It is all about the proper proportion.

      Thank you Elle! I really will only shop there and Sephora and then would rather shop on-line so its few and far between. Glad you like the look!/ Busy today getting together gifts. Have a great Sunday! xx

    I think dark florals are so lovely for fall and winter, and a moto jacket is always an interesting topper for a feminine dress. I have a pink moto jacket as well, and it’s one of my favorite pieces ever. They add a touch of whimsy and fun to any outfit!

      Thank you Liz! Yes, I have a black moto, but for me that is too much black against my pale skin. So pink was just right! Thanks for commenting! xx

    I absolutely adore that dress and jacket paired together! I’m with you – rarely will I set foot in the mall (H&M is the one exception)!

    It is the season of giving and it’s always fun to be in that mode though I must say this year I am not feeling the spirits of the holidays as much as I did in previous years. Maybe because my daily commute route has changed and I am not seeing the beautiful Xmas scenery I used to…not sure…Would love if you can link up to http://the-wardrobe-stylist.com/2016/12/05/hollywood-glam-christmas-makeup-looks/

    Jess I love how you’ve contrasted the pale pink of the jacket against the dark floral of the dress – it really works so well. I’m yet to find a pair of OTK boots that suit my short legs, so am very envious of your long limbs in those beautiful Vera Wang ones.
    Thanks for the link up party. Have a lovely week x

      Enjoy your weekend! xx

    I adore this combo and you look fabulous. Your comment on the importance of proportions is so true regarding the appropriateness of a style for a woman of any age. In my opinion, a subtler approach like you’ve done is also a better route than overt boldness. I love my OTK boots (and I’m wearing mine in my linked up post). Thanks for sharing your look and for hosting.

    That’s how I reward my husband for going with me places too—food & wine!! Hilarious. In fact we just went to DSW on Sunday night and thus we stopped for dinner first (then again, he got a pair of shoes too!!)
    I absolutely love what you’re wearing Jess—I would copy this in a second! My OTK boots have fast become my favorite for two reasons….1-they keep me way warmer than my regular boots and 2-they make me feel 10 years younger!!
    Get tip to wear the pink jacket if black isn’t your friend!! It’s very sassy!!

    Wowzer…..I love it. I got my mom a leather jacket in that exact same color for Christmas. I cannot wait to give it to her and will be borrowing it. I got it at Macy’s.. it’s not moto, I’m the moto girl, lol. The color is to die for. You look spectacular in those OTK boots and yet another fabulous floral!! Beautiful as ever!!

    I love this! You are so creative with your outfits. The jacket is gorgeous, and the dress was a great find. I agree that H&M has improved over the years. On my first visit there (on a trip back to England from Australia) some years ago (we’ve only recently got H&M near where I live), I wasn’t impressed with the quality. It’s much better now.

    Your dress is beautiful – great find at H&M! I have to say your jacket is my favourite piece though, what a stunning colour! It works so well with your floral dress too. I try to avoid the big malls in December, I’m not a fan of crowds!

    Thank you for the link up!

    Hope you are having a great start to the week 🙂
