Flower Power

This summer, floral dresses have been all the rage! They were a popular spring trend, and although we are nearing the end of summer, there's still time to indulge your girly side with floral prints.


In floral dresses, I prefer a subtle print and loose fitting (see below left). I don't really fancy Melanie Slade's dress (below right) because the print is too bold and the contrast between the colors is too harsh. My advice is to avoid prints that resemble curtains or tablecloths.



Taylor Swift's mini dress is very flirty and summery. It's a perfect day look. However, to "toughen up" a young and fresh appearance, pair your floral dress with a boyfriend blazer (below right).


This navy dress (below left) is one of my favorites! I love how it is very versatile and I can wear it to go shopping or to a summer party! A way to "toughen up" this floral frock is to pair it with a leather jacket (below right). This gives it an edgy day-to-night look which I love.



This floral ensemble is another one of my faves because I like how the print is very busy and vibrant but the simplicity of the grey skirt balances it out.
