Floral

floral5I’m a huge fan of wearing floral prints. From tops to bottoms and scarves and this season even shoes, it’s all too easy to break out this oh so feminine print. I came across this top in TJMaxx a few weeks back and loved the soft floral pattern. I was even happier when I saw the $98 French Connection tag marked down to $29! That surely put a spring in my step ;) You can see some other floral tops I love here, here and here. I chose to keep the rest of the outfit simple so that the top wouldn’t have to compete. I just may need to work this top into an Easter outfit!

In other news, I’ve been selected as one of America’s best dressed women for Redbook Magazine!! A friend of my mother actually brought the contest to my attention and so I thought what the heck, I’ll submit a few photos. Well, it turns out that I was selected as one of the top 25! Voting is open until May 12, so for anyone that has a minute, I’d really appreciate your vote, it literally only takes a second. Who knew these blog photos would come in handy ;) Thanks in advance everyone and you can vote HERE.

I tried to vote a couple times but got confused- I clicked on your photo but it just let me see your other photos. I didn't see any link to click on to vote... am I missing something?
