Welcome to the beautiful and fruitful month of September. I'm genuinely so happy and excited to be here, and I hope you are too. I've been looking forward to sharing this dress with you, and I'm thrilled that my very first fashion post this month is about this amazing, colorful Flora Bloom dress.
This dress, which has a beautiful, busy floral design, truly represents how I want this new month to be: fresh and full of life. It's a lovely dress by LoralGal, a size small, and it sits above my knee.
I actually had a little moment with the styling. I initially tried on a pair of busy earrings, and even though my partner told me they looked nice, something felt off. When I took the first photo, I just knew they weren't the right match. I have these pearl earrings that I keep in a box, so I quickly swapped them out, and it made all the difference! The pearl earrings toned down the "noisy" floral pattern on the dress and made the whole look feel well put together, not too cluttered. The design is just so vibrant a mix of red flora on blue, yellow, and pink backgrounds that it needed a simple accessory to let the dress shine.

We had such a lovely time taking these photos yesterday. We went to the RSPB Scotland Skinflats Nature Reserve. I have so much more to tell you about that trip in a future post.
This dress is beautiful for so many occasions, from a birthday shoot to a travel photoshoot or just a day out. I love how it fits me; I think I look absolutely stunning and beautiful in it.
Let me tell you what really made my day. While we were at the nature reserve, an old man walked up to me and told me, "You are the most beautiful thing I have seen today." I was so taken aback and touched by his kindness. My partner joked that I didn't smile enough, but it was just so unexpected and beautiful to hear. You know, I never take it for granted when people walk up to me and tell me I'm beautiful, or gorgeous, or that I have a good height. It truly makes me happy, and I appreciate every single one of your comments. Your kind words aren't just a simple comment; they are a gift. I read every single one, and they help me understand my style and what you all want to see more of. So thank you for taking the time to comment and for helping this blog grow.

This past Sunday, I wasn't able to go to church due to a personal health matter concerning women’s health. It wasn't anything serious, just something I had to be cautious about. My partner went and filled me in on everything, and I am so looking forward to going next Sunday.
If you'd like to get this dress for yourself or for someone special in your life, you can head over to LoraGal. It's currently on sale, and you can use my special discount code MEL15 to get 15% off your purchase. I think it's a fabulous dress. I am also planning to change my hairstyle. I can't wait to share a new hair look with you all soon.
Finally, I pray that this new month is truly fruitful for you all. May God bless the work of your hands, and may all your heart's desires come to pass. I pray that this month brings you peace, love, and rest that surpasses all understanding. May God protect you and your loved ones from all harm, in Jesus' name, amen.

DeleteEs un lindo vestido. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThe floral patchwork is already such a statement, and switching to pearl earrings was the perfect move
ReplyDeleteYou look great, elegant and gorgeous obviously
You are so right! When I looked at the other photo with the busy long earrings, I was like, "What was I thinking? I look funny!" Hahaha, but this happens once in a while when we don't get the styling goal. Thank you so much, Asep.
DeleteThis dress is truly beautiful! So colorful, lovely, warm, and cheerful. I just don't know if I could style it. You look wonderful in it because you're a beautiful woman! I'm not surprised people stop you and say that. Plus, you're very kind and smart.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, charming, and colorful, also cheerful. I get compliments, and I appreciate them a lot. Thank you so much for your kind words. Styling sometimes depends on mood; sure, with the right mood, you will rock this dress. It can bring out the best mood; it's bright, colorful, and screams joy and happiness.
DeleteI am not surprised at all that you receive compliments. The dress is beautiful. And so are you. You chose the perfect earrings.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sabine; you are kind.
DeleteMelody, I like your floral dress very much!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteSuch a lovely dress, smiles.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda.
DeleteBeautiful. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and you too.
DeleteThat is a gorgeous dress and it looks amazing on you. The heels are perfect for it too. Have a great September Melody :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ananka. My September will be a blooming month for you.
DeleteBom dia. Uma excelente terça-feira, com muita paz e saúde. Parabéns pelo seu bom gosto estilo. Espero que um dia você possa conhecer o MASP, tinham muitos turistas.
ReplyDeleteHi Luiz, how are you doing? Thank you for the compliment. Wishing you a happy month. I hope to visit more places with time. My blog is gradually navigating toward more travel content and I can't complain.
DeleteLovely dress. It's so colorful
ReplyDeleteThank you, Giorgio.
DeleteThe pearl earrings look lovely with the business of the dress. AND, I love the dress, you look very youthful and pretty.♥
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I agree with you.
DeleteThe dress is gorgeous! You look like a doll in it :). I love following fashion trends. This is connected both with my work and with the fact that my niece is a model. Last weekend in Moscow there was a grand international show dedicated to the fashion industry, and my niece took part in it. I couldn't be there with her, but I followed everything through the Internet :)). So I read your posts and look at your photos with great interest, you have excellent data, you could become a famous model. I always try to tell people if they look good. It brings more goodness, beauty, peace, love to the world. That's how I understand it.
ReplyDeleteOh, you made me smile and I appreciate your words and compliment. Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them. Your niece is living a really cool life. It's amazing that she was in a fashion show. I would have loved to see it. It's so sweet of you to tell people they look good. I totally agree that it makes the world a better place.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous dress, Melody! It looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Linda.
Delete...it's a colorful frock!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThis dress is awesome. It suits you very well!! I like this combination of colors and prints. 🔥🔥🔥
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Anna.
DeleteThat is an extremely colourful dress which you managed to tone down with the simple, and yet feminine sandals. A girl with no taste would have paired it up with some fugly tacky platforms, but you have style and you wisely avoided that and I applaud you for it. The secret of style is - you can have only one busy thing on you, everything else has to be monochromatic and simple. I often wear, for example, lime green sneakers, but I will pair them up with navy blue shirts, shorts, watch and bag for refined balance, like a true fashion icon LOL
ReplyDeleteToning down this dress was the goal in order for it to shine. I felt a bit off that morning, but I guess I did well, and your compliment says it all, which I appreciate. You indeed know your styling. Thank you, Dezmond.
DeleteMelody, your dress is amazing!!! You look amazing in it!!!
ReplyDeleteMelody, I send you my best wishes and I wish you a good week!
Thank you so much, Anns
DeleteLovely and colorful dress.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteAmazing dress! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeletePatchwork is trending now and I can see why. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, really? I didn't know patchwork was trending, but styling them can be tricky because that earring situation got me. Thank you.
DeleteI love september.
ReplyDeleteIt's really fruitful, like you say
You look beautiful in the photo
Thank you so much! Well, I started the month wearing a dress that symbolizes how blossoming, bright, calm, and beautiful this month will be, filled with answered prayers and love. Thank you.
DeleteYou look amazing in the dress, and I agree that the pearl earrings are perfect. Thank you for the prayers as we will be traveling this month. XO
ReplyDeleteThe pearl earrings were the perfect match, and I kept feeling like something was off until I changed my earrings. Journey mercies as you travel, amen.
DeleteIt's a very cute dress.
ReplyDeleteThanks a million, Mary!
DeleteEs un vestido precioso y te queda genial. Un beso
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't help but feel happy in such a colourful, pretty dress. We tend to wear such restrained styles and colours.
ReplyDeleteI mean, even looking at the photos makes me so happy. That is truly a happy dress. Thank you.
DeleteThat is fun and fresh. Melody! Choosing quotes is a mystical process in which I am sure Angels help me. Sometimes I search for a particular topic or idea and sometimes they just find me. Thanks so much for your visit and your your fashionable blog with a lot of art. Aloha!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Angels guide you, and that is a beautiful one for you. You are welcome.
DeleteUn abito sfizioso, e coloratissimo, adatto a una bella giovane, come te.
ReplyDeleteBuon settembre e un caro saluto
My dream is like a garden filled with different flowers blooming just right. I can't wait to share my second dress. Oh my, you will love it!

Beijinhos fraternos
Thank you.
DeleteYou are stunning in that beautiful dress! The earrings were a great choice, anything dangly would have detracted from the vibrant pattern. Pinned! Thanks for linking at ##TuesdayTwirl
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Gail. Thank you so much.
DeleteО, какое красивое, необычное платье. Оно похоже на калейдоскоп. И оно сразу делает настроение дня.
ReplyDeleteКак приятно, что был получен комплимент от незнакомого человека. Мне кажется, так могут поступать достаточно взрослые или пожилые люди. А молодые стесняются. Хотя это так просто, и так мило.
MELODY , ты великолепно выглядишь. И я тоже согласна, что эти серьги и минималистичные босоножки отлично дополняют образ.
It’s lovely how a simple compliment can brighten the day, and I agree, sometimes it takes a little confidence to give or receive them. I appreciate your kind words.
DeleteMelody, that gentleman was absolutely correct! You are amazingly beautiful! But, it’s your spirit that really shines through! I have tried several times to subscribe to your blog, but I must be doing something wrong.
ReplyDeletehttps://marshainthemiddle.com/
They truly mean a lot. I’m glad my spirit comes through in my writing. As for subscribing, sometimes the system can be tricky; I have also been trying to also follow other blogs but it seems to not be working.
DeleteWhat an incredible dress! I love the different colours and patterns and how they all work together. And I especially love that this dress has a deeper meaning, reminding you of what this month could be. The pearl earrings look wonderful with the dress. I'm glad you experienced such kindness when you wore it out!
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
I agree, the pearl earrings were the perfect touch. Thank you.
