I have been loving all of the vintage-inspired florals I have been seeing all over the place — the kinds of prints you might have expected to find at a textile trading post in your covered buggy back in 1846, while en route West in search of gold, but re-interpreted in modern shapes. (Did anyone else play Oregon Trail?) Below, my top picks for nailing the Laura Ingalls Wilder-chic vibe:
THE GORGEOUS AGUA BENDITA DRESS SEEN ABOVE
THIS PRETTY DOEN-ESQUE TOP IN THE FLORAL PRINT ($25!!!)
THIS DRESS IN THE ROQUEFORT PRINT
THIS $20 HEADBAND, OR THIS RIBBON-WRAPPED ONE
SARAH BRAY SUNHATS (YOU CAN BUY VINTAGE RIBBON TO SWAP OUT THE TIES!)
EVERYTHING FROM LOVESHACKFANCY
THE LOVESHACKFANCY LOOK FOR $64
THIS ADORABLE $70 TOP — PERFECT WITH HIGH-RISE BLACK SKINNIES
AS OF THE TIME OF WRITING THIS POST, THIS TOP IS ONLY $15…! LOVE LOVE LOVE
THE SEA DRESS I’VE BEEN OBSESSING OVER FOR THANKSGIVING
THIS DARLING TUNIC DRESS, OR THIS STRAPLESS SMOCKED NUMBER BY THE SAME BRAND — BOTH SO EASY BREEZY FOR THE BEACH
THIS SWEET (DISCOUNTED!) REFORMATION FLORAL TOP
THIS STUNNING HORROR VACUI BLOUSE
P.S. This vibe is very grandmillennial-friendly.
P.P.S. Speaking of grands — a little recipe from my grandmother that you must try, and several remembrances of my grandfather.
P.P.P.S. Unrelated to this trend at all: this $83 dress is perfect with a black suede boot for fall (some other thoughts on fall boots and dresses here).
Love that Sea dress. This Anthro dress is along the same lines, but a steal, especially if you can get in during one of their sales. I can attest to the quality and very flattering cut, but it requires hemming if you under 5’5”. https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/somerset-maxi-dress?color=049&type=STANDARD&quantity=1
Ooo I love this! I have a very similar dress to the “brown motif” pattern from Ulla that I adore. Right up my alley! Love it in the navy print, too. Thanks for sharing this.
I love this grandmillennial-friendly trend! It reminds me of a Petersyn top I had a couple of years ago that I ended up selling (somewhat regretfully) on The RealReal — it had a print very similar to the Playa Lucila dress with ruffled sleeves. Would fit perfectly into this story!
Also: I adore LR’s Emilia style and that floral print is just too chic!

Yes!! So love this trend 🙂 xx
