THE OBSESSION: Flower girls

by Paul Julch in the obsession

Yes, we're still a little obsessed with floral prints.  We love the fresh take on florals that are out there for Spring, and we also love the women who know how to wear them.  

When you think of floral prints, you may conjure images of Aunt Bessie in her favorite church dress or grandma's comfy couch.  But that's sooooo not what we're talking about.  We're hyper-focused on wearing flower-based patterns in a way that cuts through any overly girly connotations - via graphic interpretations of the print, prints based in darker colors, or unexpected pairings.

So go ahead - check out these "flower girls" and get inspired to bring on Spring.....

Want to see some of our flowery style choices?  Read our article, “Modern blooms”, and check out our "In bloom" board on Pinterest.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Sometimes a straightforward floral print blouse feels a little unexpected, and altogether cool.  These bold prints are essentially season-less (even though one is based in white and the other in black), so don't wait until the weather warms to flaunt your flowers.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Opposites attract, and there's no place where that's truer than in fashion: a biker jacket is the perfect counterpoint to an ultra-feminine dress and heels. Going with the unexpected will always turn a few more heads.....

WHY WE LOVE IT

Printed shoes are a stellar way to up your style game, especially with an otherwise sedate outfit.  And we love when you up your style game.  Anytime.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Black gives an edge to botanical prints, and makes other colors pop - making something cool out of what could otherwise read as frilly.

WHY WE LOVE IT

A floral jacket unto itself may read as mature, but a modern silhouette makes all the difference.  And the shoulder detail on the moto jacket and the overall quilting on the other add a little je ne sais quoi that elevates both prints.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Ultimate girly, meet boyish charm.  We love juxtaposition.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Prints are unexpected at formal events, florals even more so.  Which makes these looks that much more interesting.....
