How to style Loragal Floral Patchwork colorblock dress

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.

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.
