Shaking Things Up For Spring

The Banana Republic Foulard flounce dress is absolutely perfect for summer. I'm loving the burgundy print and fluttery skirt. Seriously, Banana Republic knocked it out of the park this season! This outfit could also be perfect for FSU Seminole game days. It's the perfect balance of garnet and gold! Click through to see the full outfit styled by blogger Ashley Brooke Nicholas! I’m open-minded about a lot of things in life, but my style preferences are rigidly fixed. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve headed to the mall with the thought of mixing things up only to walk out with another fit-and-flare dress. Even though I can see endless style possibilities for my friends, I walk into a store and immediately gravitate towards my go-to cuts and colors. In fact, Stephanie and Michelle could definitely walk into a random store and point out exactly what I’d choose. While I’m happy to know a few designs that consistently make me feel confident and comfortable, it’s time for me to loosen up when it comes to clothing. When Banana Republic contacted me and asked if their stylists could pick out an outfit for me, I jumped at the chance to get out of my fashion comfort zone. While my inner fashion control freak couldn’t resist giving a few limitations (no pants or shorts), I told them I was open to anything else. The result? A ridiculously cute warm-weather ensemble!

This fluttery skirt couldn't be more perfect for summer, and the shoes are EVERYTHING. I love the Banana Republic Eryn heeled sandals so much, that I ended up buying them in gold too! The lace-up detail is so chic, and they're unbelievably comfortable.

The Banana Republic team chose an adorable burgundy flounce dress and the coolest blue snake-print sandals, and I couldn’t have been happier with their selections. Was I terrified of the decidedly loose drop-waist? You betcha. I would have absolutely taken a look at the Foulard Flounce Dress from Banana Republic (currently 30% off + also available in black) if I saw it in-store. The colors scream FSU game day (GO NOLES!), and the fluttery skirt is a girly-girl’s dream. With that being said, I wouldn’t have even tried it on because I would’ve assumed that it wouldn’t work for my body type.

When I tried it on at home, I was so shocked that the design was actually flattering on my 5’3 and curvy frame, and I immediately noticed the comfortable fabric and versatile design. I kept things simple in today’s look to show off the feminine cut of this dress, but I’m already imagining the possibilities. It would look darling for Spring Break paired with gold gladiator sandals, but I think it would also be perfect for fall football games with a chunky sweater and cognac boots.

While I’m normally not very adventurous with my clothing, and I am all about statement accessories. The Banana Republic Eryn heeled sandals are definitely a must-have for spring and summer. The lace-up detailing is completely on-trend, and the design is well-made and extremely comfortable. While I love the pop of color from the blue snakeskin, I just bought the same style in gold for my upcoming cruise! These gorgeous shoes also come in nude and red, and I highly recommend that you pick up a pair! The quality is fantastic, and the soft leather doesn’t require any break-in time.

This mini-styling session has given me so much inspiration for my spring wardrobe. I’ve recently donated, thrown away, or sold almost 50% of my clothing and accessories, so my closet is definitely ready for a few new items. Right now I have my eye on this floral beauty! Ok, ok, I have my eye on the entire dress section at Banana Republic!
