    Do you know that feeling you get when you receive flowers, the warming of your heart, the relaxing and easing of your mind, well that is truly the power in flowers, and today, I’m feeling a little flower power with this floral dress. Looking at it just makes me happy, and the fact that the flowers have a little tropical feel, it’s getting me ready for my trip to Hawaii coming up soon. Today, I’m not only sharing this Zara floral tube dress I just love, but I’m also sharing a few ways fashion can lift your spirit.

    You know those days when it’s dreary outside, or you’ve been really busy, and you just cant fathom getting dressed and out the door, well you can often find a pick me up in something else besides a good cup of coffee, and that’s floral prints or bright colors right in your closet.

    Here are a few ways choosing the right outfit can help you fight the blues and look and feel your best:

    CIMG_3864-1hose Color – Often times we feel dark dreary days, whether internal or external, call for dark clothing… Not so. Instead, opt for some color in your clothing to lighten your mood and lift your spirit. Color is proven to be a great mood lifter, and adding it to your outfit can give you an instant boost. Try adding a pair of colored pumps, or a bright colored top or scarf to any outfit.

    Find Florals – When looking through your closet find an item that has flowers. Flowers, whether on clothing or in a vase, have the power to quickly relax the mind, and make everything better. Try a floral top, or a solid top with a floral trim. You can also add a floral accessory to any outfit, like a shoe, bag or scarf.

    Wear Your Favorites – We all have those items in our closet that we feel good in, and that gives us confidence. To boost your mood, go for clothes that are your favorites. Not only will it make choosing an outfit easy, but once you’re wearing that darling dress, terrific top, or perfect pants, all will be well.

    Find Clothes That Fit – It’s been said that baggy, loose fitting clothes are reflective of a more sullen mood, so pick items that fit well. Clothes that fit well, not only look better, but they are also confidence boosters, and it’s certain, if you look good, you feel good.

    I love this floral tube dress from Zara. Although, it is a tube dress, the fabric allows a lot of movement, so it is not overly snug. I paired the dress with a nude strappy sandal, the “Stecy” by Steve Madden, and a neutral color block clutch.

    If you ever find yourself needing a mood boost, try the outfit tips above for a quick pick up.  You can shop the items in this post by clicking the links above in “The Look” and “The Look For Less,” or you can visit the Shop Fashion Page here.
