Crop Top & Midi Skirt co-ord set c/o Boohoo (old - but super similar skirt here)

Heels via eBay (save version and a splurge version)

GiGi New York "All In One" clutch c/o (similar color)

Michael Kors "Bradshaw" watch 

I'm still loving this floral co-ord set, even as we head out of summer. I think transitioning your floral prints into fall with darker colors like rich purple, navy and deep corals, is the perfect way to continue to enjoy floral prints throughout the cooler season. 

I've found some fabulous fall floral options for you to shop right here:

Outfit Post: Throwback Thursday with Boohoo

Today, I've teamed up with Boohoo as part of their Throwback Thursday Style Icon series. Have you shopped Boohoo before? They're an amazing UK-based retailer site with tons (and I mean TONS) of affordable fashion selections. They've got everything from dresses, rompers, accessories and midi skirts. 

When I started thinking about style icons, there were a few that came to mind. But the one who stood out to me the most was, obviously SJP's character Carrie Bradshaw. I love that she takes risks and wears what she wants - something I try to to emulate in my daily wardrobe choices. Sure, maybe not everything I do works, but I enjoy playing with clothes and fashion. It's supposed to be fun! Remember that iconic outfit from the 2nd Sex and the City movie? This one:

I've always loved this outfit because of the idea of mixing casual pieces with more dressier items. It's something I do A LOT. Plus it helps stretch your clothing further. (Did you know that skirt is actually the underskirt of a Zac Posen gown? So amazing!)

So, naturally I wanted to re-create a similar style and throw it back to Carrie's amazing "Abu Dhabi Souk" outfit. 

I totally wanted to have a Carrie Bradshaw moment with this floral print midi skirt and an afternoon event I attended last Saturday was the perfect occasion. Since it started at 1:00 pm, I paired it with one of my favorite, but totally neutral, tees. This way the skirt didn't feel too dressed up for an afternoon fashion show.

Not only is this skirt oh-so #TBT Carrie Bradshaw, but the large floral print makes it perfect for spring! I can't wait to style it in several other ways. Oh and did I mention it has a matching crop top that goes with it. That too, can totally be a Carrie Bradshaw moment!

It's been a crazy start to April so I'm just getting around to my LuckyFABB recaps and outfits. Eeeeek! I'm already missing the warm and sunny LA weather. Seriously though, less than 10 minutes back in my stomping grounds and I felt right at home. I had the best weekend thanks to several lovely ladies who I'll be sharing about a little later on..

 

After flying in on Thursday morning, I had my hair re-colored at Ramirez Tran salon by the absolutely amazing (and my new BFF) Stephen. He is a color genius y'all and created the most perfect shade of blonde. After my marathon hair appointment, I had 2 pre-FABB events to attend and this is what I wore to both. I love a good crop top and wearing it with a modest midi skirt is my new favorite outfit. There's something sexy and ladylike about the combo don't you think? Shop my black-and-nude picks below.

 

Stay tuned for more LA pictures and re-caps! Happy Wednesday everyone! xo
