I was all about black and white last week (exhibit a and b), but today is about color. Bright, bold color in the form of an amazing floral dress. The girls at Pumps and Push Ups launched their boutique a few months ago, and asked me to wear one of the pieces from their collection. I was game; the Darling Dress was just the number I was searching for to ring in spring (officially now that we’re post-March 20th).
This flouncy dress has some serious cheer. It’s fun and girly; a big + bold floral. So why not make it just a bit tougher? Easiest way: a leather biker jacket. (Y’all if you don’t have one, get one. Whether it’s faux or real; so many ways to wear it.)
The dress came with a cute neon belt– which will be stellar come summer– but I swapped it out for a shiny metal rose gold version for this look. Added a few pieces of rose gold jewelry to compliment the belt + a pair of lace-up nude gladiators I’ve been itching to break in, and this girl is ready for that springtime patio life.
Shop the look:
Nothing quite like a floral dress to celebrate a new season, right? A big ol’ thank you Brooke and Erica at Pumps and Push Ups for thinking of me for this fun campaign!
This dress is adorable! The print is so bright and fun, and I LOVE that you paired it with a leather jacket. Really adds an edgy tough to the whole look.
You look fabulous, darling! That blue is perfectly suited to you. I love how you toughened up the look with a moto jacket and I am now convinced that Dolce Vita makes the best lace up heels. 🙂 (The two pair that I own are from that brand, anyway!)

You look amazing girl! That dress is so pretty, the belt and heels are perfect with it! I’m jealous of your nice weather too I’m dying to finally wear spring clothes.

I absolutely love this look!! The mix of floral print and leather is the perfect mix of girly and edginess which you always pull off so well! I had no idea that Pumps & Push Ups started a boutique – I’ll have to check it out!
First off you have some killer legs! So jealous. (;
I know I’m repeating myself, but one of my favorite things about your blog is that you take trendy pieces and make them your own. You never look like everyone else. Your style really stands out. Again, you’ve done it here, by taking a super girly floral dress, and making it edgy with the leather jacket. It screams you and I love that you constantly stay true to your style!
Very pretty look. Spring has sprung once again. I like the you went with a gold accent belt. The nude sandal really allows your leg line to look extended. The best trick in the book that every girl should live by. You look great.
I love their collection! That dress is so pretty and fun! I love edging things up with a leather jacket! Your shoes are to die for!
