Spring 2017 Trend Alert: Feminine Florals

SPRING 17 TREND ALERT: FEMININE FLORALS

s

I remember when I lived in a colder climate…once the holidays were over and the new year was in full swing, it sometimes felt as if winter would never end.  Fear not, friends, no matter where you live, the days are becoming longer and warmer temperatures are ahead.  

The past two years have been a blur…the majority of one being pregnant and last year adapting to life as a new mom. Despite being in fashion for as long as I can remember, I realized I had not updated my wardrobe in QUITE some time and so I have determined that 2017 is the year of getting back to myself. So as I update my look, I will be sharing some of these additions with you.

This spring, a trend you will see everywhere is what I am calling Feminine Florals…floral printed pieces with ruffles, lace and all types of beautiful details. There are tops, blouses, dresses, skirts and even pants. While these prints feel fresh for Spring many of them can still be worn in cooler temperatures.  You can create transitional looks with denim, boots and layered with jackets or sweaters.

When looking for new pieces that work for my lifestyle, I started looking at some of my favorite brands and was delighted to find they were offering irresistible floral pieces in their Spring collections. It was hard to edit the options as I could have featured another ten styles on top of the ones here! To start, I paired the romantic Alexis dress featured above with my essential Rag and Bone Newbury boots to give the dress a more casual, boho vibe. This dress is truly a showstopper and I felt chic and fashion forward wearing it.  The Joie sleeveless top featured here and the cover has a cheerful floral print and is perfect for weekend brunch, romps at the park or a casual dinner.

The Zimmermann smocked top featured here is covetable piece with amazing handiwork in its graphic lace pattern.  This top is a bit oversized and so it looks best with a slim pair of denim and a chic pump. 

Some of my friends say they feel silly or look too “girly” in floral prints. If you want to keep your look from feeling too frilly, pair it with a sleek pair of pants or pencil skirt, distressed denim, funky boots or a studded accessory. 

The options are endless.  You will have no problem finding a wide selection of gorgeous feminine floral pieces to inject into your closet this Spring.

Product Details: Alexis dress is available at www.revolve.com, Joie top at www.neimanmarcus.com and the Zimmermann Top at www.shopbop.com.

Happy Shopping!
