I’m sure you have figured out by now that I have a love for everything florals. Florals just seem to brighten everything up and is the perfect summer look. This Ann Taylor exotic bouquet pattern makes for the perfect day to night floral dress. It’s great to have fashion pieces in your closet that can double up as wear-to-work wear and weekend and or evening looks just by switching up the shoes and accessories.
1. Wear to Work
Block Heel Sandals
I usually wear these cute Le Chateau Floral Suede-Like Ankle Strap Sandals in Denim with this dress to work. These sandals are comfortable enough to wear all day without having to change into flats or flip flops. If you have seen my other fashion outfits, you will see that I am really loving these sandals. They have a a 2.5″ block heel with a floral trim. I find a block heel to be a lot more comfortable for an everyday sandal.
Dress
I fell in love with the pattern of this Ann Taylor Jungle Floral Flare Dress. The vivid bouquet of exotic florals on this dress are beautiful. I have worn this dress to work on a few occasions and have received so many compliments. A good floral dress is a must have for summer. This dress is on trend for the summer. The dress is flowy and breathable and can be worn with additional layers like a cute sweater or jean jacket. It is a simple but pretty dress that fits well. It’s great for the summer and can also wear well into early fall with a jean jacket for a casual look.
Sweater
This Cotton Caryn cardigan sweater in French blue pairs perfectly with this dress. It is a lightweight shell that can be worn with so many outfits.
Cross-body Bag
The Le Chateau leather-like cross body bag complete any look. It’s the perfect sized bag that goes with any look.
2. Evening Look
Suede-Like Floral T-Strap Sandal
I switched things up and paired this floral dress with a different heal, something that would take me into the evening. These Le Chateau feminine, floral sandals in blush pink are the perfect accompaniment to a garden party dress. They have a thinner heal for a more feminine, evening look with a 3.5″ heel.
The Clutch
The perfect cork envelope clutch from J. Crew. It is the perfect size to bring along your phone, a small wallet, keys, and touch up make-up. The cork colour goes well with everything so it is a great mix and match bag.
3. Evening or Weekend Look
Wedge Sandals
I decided to style this dress with a neutral wedge sandal by Charles by Charles David for a more casual yet dressed up look. This leather sandal with a cork trim is a 5″ braided-jute wedge heel; 1.5″ platform. Although these seem high, they are easy to wear for longer periods of time due to the wedge and also the padded footbed.
I hope you enjoyed this post and have found a love for florals as much as I have. Hopefully this has given you some new ideas for day to night floral dress looks.

Love every single pair of the sandals you paired with that beautiful dress, but especially the wedges. I'm a klutz so I always gravitate towards wedges - they make me feel a little more secure. :)

Floral print has become a staple in my wardrobe! I'm just drawn to anything floral print when I go shopping these days! Dresses that are suitable for the day and into the night are my favorite. I feel like with a lot of summer dresses, theyre perfect for adventuring during the day but once the night comes and you want to go to a nice dinner, they're too casual and need an outfit change! This one is definitely perfect for both day/night; I think its definitely the color tones and style! Love it!
