Floridian Grand Millennial

I’ve always identified as an old soul. While what that exactly means has evolved over the years, the current rendition is what has been lovingly called grand millennial. Depending on where you live, being a grand millennial can take many different forms. It only makes sense for the northeast to be very different from the south. Farther south still, living in Florida adds its own unique spin to the equation.
Rattan Everything
Natural materials are having their moment right now, but it’s here to stay for me. A Floridan grand millennial owns an irrational amount of rattan and wicker pieces. Furniture, shoes, handbags, table settings. If it’s made from rattan, chances are I’m going to want to buy it! It adds a touch of tropical to any outfit and goes with just about anything! As we begin redecorating our home, don’t be surprised if it makes even more of an appearance.
Midi Dresses
Even though I’ve been working from home for nearly a year, midi dresses are still my go-to uniform. I’ve never been one to really show skin and that’s getting truer as I get older. A Floridian grand millennial knows this modest style is comfortable and surprisingly flattering. I feel like it gives my shorter frame some length. Even if that theory is unfounded, I stand by these dresses. Dresses them down with flats or sneakers. Dress them up with espadrille wedges or heels. You honestly can’t go wrong.
Floral Prints and Seersucker
Florida’s subtropical climate certainly inspires me on almost a daily basis. Even in the middle of January, the flowers are blooming and I want my wardrobe to match. A Floridian grand millennial will never say no to a fun floral in bright and contrasting colors. My current obsession has become anything in a block print style, particularly from SZ Blockprints, but I’ll never say no to a good, old-fashioned seersucker. This dress from Roller Rabbit was the perfect addition to my wardrobe. I can’t wait to wear and re-wear for whatever occasion comes my way.
Flat Sandals
A Floridian grand millennial loves to take long walks through her neighborhood and admire all of the historic houses. While heels and sneakers are great and all, there’s just something about slipping into a favorite pair of sandals. When they’re broken in and feel just right, they can become the most comfortable pair of shoes in your closet.
Trust me, you don’t have to live in Florida to love the Floridian grand millennial style. If your heart is always on vacation and you want to teleport to the beach, you may just be one! If that sounds like you, then I think you’ve come to the right place!
Love from Florida,
