“Florals? For spring?” Yes girl! and before you finish the phrase with the sarcastic “groundbreaking” like Miranda Priestly, just know one thing. Florals are exactly who they think they are. They are that girl! They have always been that girl and they will always be that girl. No matter the season, the year, or whatever the runways are saying, floral are a classic print that has earned its permanent spot in every wardrobe.
While floral prints are interpreted differently each season, the trend for this spring are a big, vibrant standalone floral graphics and an ultra-feminine print that resembles that of a rococo painting. That is why I opted for this gorgeous floral print sheath dress to make a statement in. Not only am I enamored by the colorful floral print, but it hugs my body in all the best parts.
I could have made the floral print of the dress the focal point and worn simple accessories with it, but the pops of yellow within the dress inspired me to take it to another level by styling it with a yellow faux fur bolero and thigh high boots. Spring brings that sneaky transitional weather where a full coat is too much but going without a little something to cover up with is a little too optimistic. A faux fur bolero is the perfect middle ground because Its functional in keeping your arms warm. It also adds texture, drama, and personality without taking away from the whole look. It actually levels it up! It’s a combination that surprisingly works while keeping you looking cozy and chic at the same time.
As for the color pairing? The yellow against the deep blue and purple of this dress is not an accident. That is intentional as yellow and blue are complementary colors that bring brightness, yet calmness to the outfit. I find that energy the be a great way to enter spring into.
Now let’s talk jewelry because even though I kept it simple, they still showed up and showed out! Gold was the only metal for this outfit because of its warmth and how well it ties right into the yellow of the bolero and boots. It adds just enough shine to feel polished without competing with everything else within this outfit. A statement earring like these drop earrings with a delicate gold necklace is a perfect addition to an already bold outfit.
So the next time you hear ‘Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.’ don’t forget to add a little faux fur moment to make it even more groundbreaking.
