Holy Flowers!!!

Now I know its Spring and everyone associates Spring with flowers and butterflies, but in the past few weeks the amount of floral I have seen is making me want it to be winter.

I am in no way against floral, its femine, pretty and can occasionally look quite rocker chic and edgy (depending on pattern and color). The thing I'm not too keen on though is the floral mixed with the pastels. This just reminds me of what I used to wear when I was 8 0r 9. When worn alone this look can look young and silly, but if you choose to be clever and team it with something funky you may have a winning outfit.

For expample these items below are cute, but a bit dull and childish. If you paired them with say a brown chunky belt and brown leather jacket with the dress on the left (depending on weather:), and some high waisted army green or khaki shorts for the top on the right, you would quickly go from too girly to super trendy.

There are however some absolute NO's when it comes to floral.... The two pictures below are ultimate floral failures to me. The shirt has way to many ruffles and the dress is just all wrong, with the weird cut and the white collar. Stay away from these looks!!!

Lets take a quick look at the bolder, edgier floral looks..... I love the dress on the right because of the fitted shape and the colors are bright and stand out against the black. This could simply be worn with just some chunky bracelets, and simple drop earrings. The dress on the right is a quirky and bold spring/summer dress that could be worn out in the day or at night with a thick black belt and some fabulous heels. Put your hair up and use a cute hairband for one similar to the red one.

Let me know how you guys feel about floral... Do you own any? have you just purchased some?

or is it not on your shopping list!

Also do you agree with what I picked or not?!
