How To: Wear Florals

I received a note from a reader earlier this week asking how to pull off floral prints for spring.  So I decided to answer by creating a post around this sometimes-tricky trend.  My best advice is to choose a print that looks modern & fresh – I’ve found that softer pastels or smaller florals work best.  Once you’ve found a piece that you love, pair it with classic items so you aren’t over-working the look.  If you’re still unsure, you can ease into it with a fun accessory.  Here are some styling suggestions & my favorite affordable picks:

1) Forever 21 Blouse // 2) Merona Crossbody Bag // 3) Dolley D’Orsay Flats // 4) AJ Morgan Sunglasses 
5) Mudd Skinny Boyfriend Jeans // 6) d.RA Blouse //7) BCBGeneration Satchel // 8) Chinese Laundry Pumps
9) H&M Pants

1) Madewell Hat // 2) ShoeDazzle Addie Flats // 3) Simply Vera Vera Wang Necklace // 4) Forever 21 Headwrap
5) Tinley Road Earrings // 6) ASOS Heels // 7) Monet Crystal Necklace

    What a wonderful post. I've always loved romantic, feminine clothing, so I've always been drawn to floral prints. I am so in love with the Madewell hat and the ASOS heels!

    What I would do for HM to sell online! I love that Forever 21 blouse, and those ASOS heels at the bottom; of course I probably find the priciest item.

    Thanks so much for this! I was just at TJMaxx yesterday looking at floral jeans but they felt so 80's to me, but the 2 you showed here do not have that feel, so it is possible to pull off the look in a fresh way! Thanks!

    I've stayed away from floral so far. My husband has always said floral prints remind him of old lady's curtains! But I think I could go for those asos heels…they could never be interpreted as old lady-ish! I was looking for the winner of Give Jewelry, don't see it but I HOPE it's me 🙂

    I love the work look. It's so classy with a pop of mix print. My favorite is the floral pant. =)
