January Showers, Bring Floral Spring Trends



Well as the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers,” but seeing as this season has been so incredibly fickle and spring-like it’s only fitting to expect some spring styles now. I love flowers, they’re pretty… They resemble a new season, a new beginning… They smell awesome! I’m kind of confused as to why we haven’t seen so much more of this trend coming along. However one daring, starlet went out to the Golden Globes wearing a floral print/ spring inspired gown by Carolina Herrera. That gal was non other than Lucy Liu. 

So the question is, how do we feel about floral print for spring? Clearly Meryl Streep holds a strong opinion, but its spring. And since the weather has been so down and in the dumps lately, I suggest a nice floral pattern for everyone’s rainy day wardrobe!

From Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear. Her Spring 2013 RTW collection is made up of floral prints, light colors, and airy materials. So I must say I’m ready to throw on this floral vest and VEST MY BEST!

From Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear, Paul & Joe Collection, this floral print maxi dress is beyond.  I’d sport it out and about.

Preen had a very interesting mix of prints for their Spring 2013 RTW collection. After watching it, I almost felt a little Eve in the Garden type of story being told. So much snake skin to rose print. It made me feel like grabbing the forbidden fruit is all ok!

If I didn’t mention my main man Peter Som, it would be a fair argument that there is something wrong with me. His bright colors opened my eyes and his floral prints made me breath fresh air (which later turned into a cold as I was breathing primarily winter air), but none the less it was inspiring.

And now for us poor youngens that admire from afar…

From NastyGal, this floral chiffon top provides the perfect amount of spring trends, including… wait for it… SALE! Available at NastyGal

From Jack by BB Dakota, this light and airy floral button up even includes some varying shades of Pantone’s color of the year, Emerald. Available at Lori's

This is my all time favorite maxi skirt of the season so far, and it’s “a-a-affordable!” Seeing as it is velvet, I’m clearly drooling over it. Its floral, even more saliva (ew, I know… whatever.). It’s a maxi so now I want spring like…. Tomorrow. Available at Chic Nova

I really love high-waisted, full skirt as I believe it really could turn into a chic ensemble when paired with the right things. Man, does anyone else love spring as much as I do? You tuck your winter drabs, and throw on a something so fab! Avalaible at ASOS

So as we can see Rainy days and Mondays, or Tuesday always bring me down…. Only joking, I love these days. So cuddle up in bed and think about tomorrow’s outfit! FLOWERS, FLOWERS, and more FLOWERS!
