You Belong Among the Wildflowers
I know I've talked about this a lot here, but bear with me: I still want a vintage floral dress. Only this time I want one that's fitted, darker, and more—I absolutely cannot believe I'm about to say this—grunge. Pieces like this, this, and this, where the dense prints are almost an afterthought, and the emphasis is on the contrast of sweet flowers in an otherwise dark outfit. I know exactly what I'd wear with these dresses, because honestly, I've done it once before—an oversize grandpa cardigan, super-black tights, darkish lips, straight hair and ... some kind of heels. Because the only thing I refuse to go back to in this grunge redux odyssey is my once-ubiquitous Dr. Martens.
