So lovely! This particular trend is calling to me because my clothes have become monochromatic. And by that I mean I've gone gray and black. Solid grays and blacks. Opening my closet doors has become a most depressing activity.
So I'm very attracted to flowers now. Flowers. I love flowers. They're easily the prettiest things in the world. I like to imagine God was in a very good mood when He created them. And now I want all those beautiful buds and petals and blooms on all my clothes!
Here's a bouquet of ladies dresses I found on Next, an online shop I just discovered:
This is how you wear flowers if you're a woman in her 30s. A lot of us think that flowers are for kids. But the bold pinks and magentas are grounded by the black background. You can throw on a black blazer and wear this to work, or if you're in a slightly creative field, a pink cardigan with nude pumps!
This dress is so perfect for shopping! Or for a date. Or for running errands. It's just a super easy slip-on dress, very casual and laid-back. Love the elbow-length sleeves, the elasticized waist, and the sexy lace yoke and collar! I can see myself wearing this with painted wooden bangles and flat leather sandals. So boho chic!
Well, is this sexy or what? I'll need to get rid of my belly for this dress, though. But I already have the perfect heels to go with it—my purple peep-toe pumps! You can also wear black shoes or green shoes. Just not white shoes. Just don't.
For more dresses as gorgeous as these, head on over to Next. That's where I am. Midnight online shopping is really dangerous! Haha

I hear ya - while a basic and monochramatic wardrobe can be classic and versatile, once in a while we want color and pattern. I'm in the market too for pretty prints that are not too busy (mary katrantzou being the exception), just perfect for a lunch date with the girls or as a pick me up when the day with your toddler isn't starting out right.
ReplyDeleteI love florals. My favorite florals last year were my palazzo pants from Promod. They're now my favorite pambahay because they're so soft, and I wore them to death.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to new dresses, too. I've always liked wearing happy dresses like these, so I'll fit right into the trend!
Hi Frances. I have a question, how does it work with online shopping (not Philippine-based sellers)? Do items you buy get delivered to your home or do you have to pick-up from the post office and pay taxes? I'm online gift-shopping for a niece and I wonder if it will be a wonderful surprise or a shock (custom duties that has to be paid). Please help! Thanks. Tet
