FALL SPECIAL OCCASION – VELVET FLORAL DRESS

The Steele Maiden: Fall Special Occasion - Velvet Floral Dress

Earlier this week I shared 3 easy holiday hairstyles and I have to admit – this one was my favorite. My hair stylist Sarah Rappolt and I pictured it being something perfect for a special occasion this Fall or holiday season, from a fancy Thanksgiving dinner to a date to see The Nutcracker to a December wedding invite. And this velvet floral dress seemed like the perfect pairing.

In a super flattering fit and heavy enough fabric to allow you a little bit of warmth this one is kind of a dream. Plus, I like that it feels like a romantic and subtle version of typical ‘red and green’ in soft rose and evergreen hues. Truth be told, I’ll likely be in this outfit on Thanksgiving day but if I can convince Adam to go see The Nutcracker with me this year – I’ll definitely be slipping back into this little number. And maybe even recreating this hairstyle that’s so deceptively simple I swear even an amateur like myself can do it.

FALL FLORALS: BANANA REPUBLIC DRESS

During my stint at NYFW I played up a few of the season’s big trends (Seventies Style here and Bold Prints/Bomber Jackets here) – but by far one of the trends that I’m most excited about this season is dark Fall Florals. They’re obviously pretty but there’s also a slight seductiveness about them that is just begging for a brisk Autumn date night.
