Also not to mention the bright pink floral pattern! This blazer, in my opinion, is just over the top. It screams out of this decade. Now the second blazer, it\u2019s simple. I could see Kate Middleton wearing this one. It isn\u2019t loud or embroidered to death. It\u2019s just pretty and elegant and does the job.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Floral-do-outfit-1Adjusted.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Floral-do-outfit-1Adjusted.jpg\" alt=\"Floral do outfit 1Adjusted\" width=\"288\" height=\"592\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1771\" data-size=\"288x592\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>So when you are deciding on a floral piece, keep in mind that simple is always the way to go. Your floral is the staple to your outfit, let it accentuate your clothes &#8211; not disguise them.<\/p>\n<p>Peace and Progress,<\/p>\n<p>Alexandra K. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m often asked about whether floral is in or out, or if it\u2019s even acceptable.
