Fashion's Night Out - Seattle Style!

Fashion Friday's this week is a recap of none other than Downtown Seattle Rocks the Runway, A Celebration of Fashion's Night Out! The fashion-filled night was held on Thursday, Sept 6 at Pacific Place.

I was beyond excited to be able to see the latest fall fashion from Seattle's favorite boutiques first hand as Seattle Met sponsored Seattle's inaugural large-scale fashion show! Some notable trends you'll be seeing lots of in the fall:
* leather
* brocade prints
* lady like and girl silhouettes
* pleats
* booties: menswear inspired as well

Out with the Camo, In with the Flomo!

Yes, please!

This inspiring new palette — a combo of floral and camo — for fall is sure to make anyone wearing it — and seeing it — smile and feel like a model on the runway of life.
 
Flomo blends the intricate pattern of camo with the light airiness of the ever-loving floral print. I love all the bright colors I'm seeing for fall, especially with flomo on the horizon—which was originally made popular in the 90's. I'm so over the dull blacks and browns. So, it's time to retire your go-to blacks, browns and navys and add a little color to your wardrobe—and life! 

1) Madewell's Silk Flowerveil Top $135
3) Edem Reece Printed Jersey Dress
4) J Crew Ella Dress in flora brocade $188 For those who like FloMo but with a little extra flower detail


KStew, rocking the Flomo: 




Not so brave to try the print fully? Here are some items you can incorporate into your wardrobe until you're fully able to embrace Flomo to the max





Marc by Marc Jacobs Packables Shopper, $68 available at Shopbop
Nicholas Kirkwood Geometric Heel Printed Ankle Boots at $1,595, these are a bit pricey but definitely an investment to your fall fashion wardrobe. 

So, are you ready to add some Flomo to your wardrobe? Already seen it around? What's your favorite style? Share below!
