neimanmarcus.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Dark floral background. Nice shape to the top with a flattering neckline, but the yellow might be a bit tricky for a lot of people.

neimanmarcus.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    This neckline is not easy to wear but I wanted you to see that moody florals do not have to be dark or overpowering.

    Beautiful teal deep floral design.

    A number of florals have a tapestry feel or look like florals from centuries ago...like this one.

shop.nordstrom.com »

    Dramatic floral and a tricky shape -- it will look best on someone tall and thin, but interesting.

    Even animal print pants can be somewhat subtle.

macys.com »

    Beautiful tiered ruffled dress in stunning colors!

zara.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    This speaks a bit to the gothic lacy grunge look that's coming back although it can also just have a vintage vibe without adding a grunge effect.

    Again, a subtle ruffled color on this stunning print.

    Ruffled sleeves add some structure but they also add some sweetness to the look. Gorgeous color!

shop.nordstrom.com »

    Again puffy sleeves are tricky and can sometimes feel too young.

artfulhome.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Not all blouses have to have a traditional feel to them. This one is worn more like a tunic but still has a tailored appeal.

kohls.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Love the pintucks around the waist -- gives it a fitted feel without being stiff.

Tights

5 Items

Some items I link may earn a small commission, which supports my business!

shop.nordstrom.com »
  • Ginger B. on Oct 1, 2019

    This red is very pretty and wearable--if you are looking to add this trend. The style also comes in bright blue, yellow and a variety of more traditional neutral colors.

modcloth.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Colorful tights are all the rage. Just be careful what you pair them with.

    Not my favorite look!

Pleated Skirts

4 Items

Some items I link may earn a small commission, which supports my business!

dillards.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Pleated skirts are very tricky to wear and not have them add volume around the waist and hips. This one felt the most promising of many that I saw and the color is gorgeous.

anthropologie.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    This one isn't pleated, but it's an example of the midi-skirts that are out this season. They generally look best with something tucked in or nipped in somehow at the waist.

macys.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Kind of fun and bohemian but it does mean you have to tuck in your top.

macys.com »

    Pretty!

talbots.com »
bloomingdales.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Somehow I'm not sure how quilted 3/4 sleeves will work -- won't either your arms be cold or your body be hot?

bloomingdales.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Love the feminine detailing of this one.

anthropologie.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    If you want to look wide and like a giant box, buy this blouse, otherwise, skip it!

bloomingdales.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Some 80's trends should be left in the 80's. Open double breasted plaid jackets -- I'd feel about a million miles wide.

bloomingdales.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Head to toe pink animal print? I don't think so!

shop.nordstrom.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Bourgie -- only if you want to look dowdy and dated.

shop.nordstrom.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    What a horrible design for a plaid blouse and you get to pay a lot of this unflattering style.

shop.nordstrom.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Okay, so they went a bit overboard on this bow!!!

shop.nordstrom.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Here's the perfect example of a design that infantilizes women. Or makes you feel like you belong on Little House on the Prairie.

  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    The perfect frumpy pleated dress.

bloomingdales.com »

anthropologie.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Cute if you can make it work.

anthropologie.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    Let's take a pleated skirt that will add width and add a double breasted long vest worn open -- there's a good idea!!!!

anthropologie.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    If you weight absolutely nothing you can probably pull this off. I'd feel frumpy in a heartbeat.

anthropologie.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019

    This feels more like a costume.

anthropologie.com »
  • Ginger B. on Sep 23, 2019
