Winter Fashion: Dutch Florals

One of my favorite fashion trends this year is floral patterns on unexpected dark backgrounds.  Inspired by still life oil paintings from the Dutch Golden Age, these designs are dramatic, bold, and the perfect addition to a holiday wardrobe!

I fell in love with this NY Collection black floral dress from Macy's (it has a body-shaping slip inside!) and wore it to my college roomie's wedding in October.  The other roomies are wearing adorable party dresses from Rent the Runway.  I styled my dress with burgundy pumps, but love it with boots and a sweater for work as well!
