Look – peonies! And a jean jacket over a pretty dress! DO I GET MY OFFICIAL FASHION BLOGGER MEMBERSHIP CARD NOW? I imagine the card is embossed with rose gold polka dots and has a watercolor macaron on the back. And it must be a square rather than the usual rectangle (because Instagram, duh).

Seriously, though. What’s the deal with the fashion blogosphere’s peony obsession? Every May (aka peony season) I see about a million #peonies photos. Per day. Don’t get me wrong, peonies are beautiful. But you know what else is beautiful? Pretty much every other damn flower.

Incidentally, the peony is the official state flower of Indiana, so as a Hoosier I think I’m allowed to share a peony shot every once in awhile without becoming Just Another Fashion Blogger. But I still want my membership card. I heard it comes in a gift basket with a Jo Malone candle and a free brunch voucher.

I have so many flared and shift dresses and not a lot of fitted, pencil dresses. Maybe I should have more of the latter. I hate to speak in fashion clichés, but a great-fitting pencil dress makes you look chic without even trying. I know, I know, I hate myself a little bit for saying that too. But as it turns out, it’s true. I cannot emphasize how little thought I put into this outfit (compared to my normal efforts, anyway) and I think I look pretty awesome. Even against this lame background. That’s another thing about great-fitting pencil dresses: they make you look good when you’re standing next to ugly gray siding. There, now I’ve given you a non-cliché style tip. My work here is done.
