Vintage Inspirations- F/W 2017: Winter Garden ~ VFG Fashion Parade for the week of November 20

[carla rey]

So how does your Winter Garden grow? With florals in rich hues and wintery fabrics like wool, brocade, and velvet, as well as fancy formal florals in chiffon and silk with dark-colored backgrounds. This week our members pull their winter florals out of the hothouse and put them on display for us! Coats, dresses, separates, jewelry, and all kinds of accessories in darker-hued , jewel-toned, or metallic florals are welcome to the floral show!
