This is a two part post because I'm showing you the sassy and then the sweet way to wear winter florals. A lot of y'all know that I'm somewhat of a girlie girl and LOVE hearts, bows, flowers, and such. Well, sometimes a girlie girl wants to feel like a kick a$$ rocker when wearing an ultra feminine summer dress right?!

And why not wear bright florals in the winter! Remember those J.Crew summer dresses that I got on sale awhile back {seen here and here}? I told you I would them later. Today's ensemble is a little bit edgy - whoa, gettin' kinda crazy here! {Don't worry, Part II is the girlie version!} Whenever I want to toughen up a look, I alway think leather + booties. Is that too cliche?The Style Rx: Pair a leather jacket, tights, and booties with a summer dress to winterize it. Bonus points if you walk around with some attitude to sell the bad a$$ look! Ha!*My cousin found that Elizabeth & James blazer at TJ Maxx and nabbed it for me on clearance! The booties were found on sale at Last Call!

Full Disclosure: The erin necklace was sent to me complimentary of Outrage Fashion. In my usual fashion, I chose the outfit around the necklace! Hey, emerald IS the pantone color of the year!
