Stylish Monday
As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers”! Where I live, it should be coined April snow showers, kill May flowers!…LOL What an unusual spring we’re having here in Illinois! I’m not letting it kill my spring styling spirit! This May Stylish Monday my Fabulously Fashionable Friends and I are bringing to you our spin on wearing florals!
Flower Power
Flowers are a timeless trend – they’re available during all four seasons and in all sorts of colors. Whether you are beginner or a know-it-all fashionista, we’ll show how to flaunt those florals with ease. In my opinion, it’s more about your comfort with wearing floral – big bold prints, small and dainty prints, a touch of floral or head to toe – whatever your preference, GO FOR IT! You’re guaranteed to turn heads this way!
Floral Tops
Floral tops are a perfect way to add a touch of floral to any outfit. While I’ve styled my looks for work, these floral tops could easily be dressed down and worn with jeans and shorts in warmer weather.
Pairing this top with the cornflower blue blazer and white pants makes the top more spring appropriate. However, I could also pair it with black or yellow pants.
Floral Top – Burlington
Pants – Macy’s
Floral tops are easily paired with stripes and make a great statement together! Think pattern mixing! This top, similar to the one above, can be paired with white, black or green pants and dressed down with jeans and shorts. These options make it great for most seasons and occasions.
Floral Top – New York and Company
Yellow Pants – New York and Company
Wearing any given trend doesn’t need to break the bank! This floral top is from Old Navy! It was on sale for under $15.00. I’ve styled it with green pants. Green causes me to think of all things spring! The top can easily be paired with pink, black and white pants and styled casually with jeans. It’s difficult to see the cut ruffles on the shoulders…I’m always a sucker for details!

If wearing floral isn’t your thing or you’re not sure about pulling it off, you can consider touches of floral in your accessories. Think purses, jewelry, shoes/sandals and embellishments on jeans.

Hi Jess,
I appreciate your kind words! Yes, I sometimes don’t even realize how much I like something until we’re putting together our themes. My initial thought is always, “I don’t have that or much of that!” HA! When in reality, I usually have way more than I thought! Always love collaborating with you!

Fabulous outfits! I love how you’ve combined stripes and floral print, and the outfit with the green trousers is so vibrant!

Hi Emma,
It has taken me quit some time to be able to pattern mix and be comfortable wearing it. I do like floral and stripes together! I appreciate your kind words and comments! It sure was another fun collaboration!

Looking amazing (as usual) Julie! Love floral but I usually gravitate toward the smaller prints – not sure why. Thanks for all of the ideas.
Hi Debi,
Always, always, always appreciate you leaving me a comment and your kind words! Happy we could offer some ideas for you! You should try a larger floral print some time as I’m sure you’d look amazing!
