Muted and Moody

Happy Saturday, everyone!!  Hope your weekend is off to a magnificent start.

When spring hits, your mind goes towards colorful blooms, but this spring, flowers are taking a decidedly darker turn.  Moody floral prints are a big trend this spring, which is great to me because it's definitely my favorite way to do floral. 

Today, I'm featuring a recent work look that includes a moody floral print. 

Blouse:  The Limited (old)
Blazer:  The Limited (Sold out on-line; see here)

Pants:  The Limited (Sold out on-line; may be available in stores)

I've had this top for several years, but I haven't worn it in a long time because it was too long.  For some reason I thought it couldn't be hemmed due to a side zipper, but I was proven otherwise.  I love how the flowers look like they were drawn with charcoals.

The slightly somber feel of the floral inspired me to keep a muted color palette, mixing ivory, black, grey, and pale blue. 

As muted as this outfit is, there's still a lot going on - colorblocked pants, floral print, satin top, and a soft pop of color.

Heels:  Target (Similar here)

Bracelet:  Ixora Boutique (Available here)

I decided to keep jewelry minimal with this look, opting only for a singular silver mesh bracelet from Ixora Boutique.  I love the simple design of this piece - it looks great on its own, but it would also look amazing stacked with other bracelets.

Tote:  New York & Company
