Bloom where you are planted!

Happy 2015 guys! Its the 4th day of the year and I literally have no clue how and where did the past 3 days fly!

Anyways, I am really really excited to share some super lovely posts with you all, and I'm here to treat you with the first one for the year. Enjoy reading!

Many of us, especially if you live on the east coast, are dreaming of spring. We want mild temperatures, abundant amounts of sunshine, and to see trees and flowers in bloom. Department stores tend to be way ahead of the season––tossing out all the winter gear and making way for the spring clothes. Prints are still looking hot every spring, which makes me really excited to know that among those popular prints are floral prints!

When you think of spring, you think of flowers. Or at least I do. What’s the best way to celebrate the coming of spring you can channel into your wardrobe? Toss on a floral print piece! Floral prints are ultra-feminine, pretty, and flirty. I like to consider it a traditional girly girl’s go-to item of the season. As a self-proclaimed super feminine girl, the floral print trend is right up my alley. I love anything representing the beauty of nature. The only way I feel like I can have a piece of that is by wearing anything with a floral print. Skirts, dresses, and blouses can turn just about any look into pure romance. So, My new outfit post (this one) is about true true florals and I really love this dress of mine (in the pictures).

Spring is the right season to have a sense of dreamy playfulness. There’s something about spring that makes me ten times happier than any other season and that is why i thought of sharing this post with you. Maybe it’s the promise of a new beginning or a sense of renewal after hibernating from winter’s icy chill. No matter how you look at it, spring invites you to come out and play. I like playing around with styles sometimes to convey a certain feel or tone I have for that day. My style is feminine, but I like to give off a vibe of fun and playfulness with what I wear.

Tips :

1. Pairing a solid top with a floral print skirt makes the skirt more eye catching. (The dress I'm wearing in the pictures gives a hint of me wearing a top and a rap-around skirt but that's a one piece, & you do get tops and skirts of the same kinds to pair up too).

2. Add funky accessories with the matching flower patterns on your dress but do not make it look over the top. Keep it simple for the day time and you can add a tinch of glitter/shimmer in the night (for a party look).

Prints are especially good for mixing pieces up. Personally, if I wear any sort of floral print or pattern, I don’t match it with what I’m wearing. I’ve read a few fashion articles that say never match prints or patterns together. Those looks tend to be really busy and overly done. I agree with that assessment. You don’t want to stick out in the crowd by having a floral print shirt matching with a floral print skinny jeans, for instance. You pick a floral print blouse and wear it with a solid color pair of jeans. That way, the focus of your outfit will be solely on the top and not everything else.

Give floral prints a try this spring if you want a touch of beauty and romance in your wardrobe. You can add a funky summer hat to your dress when you go out for a beach party or in the day around casually (like the one I added in the pictures above) or can frolic in a field of flowers, while wearing a floral dress as you do.
