Fun Fruit Prints-Vintage and Modern

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog

 To all of the moms out there, I hope you had a Happy Mother's Day!

Also, Mother's Day is the perfect day to celebrate all of the women

 who are the nurturers and caretakers of our families 

that make the world a better place to be!

   

The topic for today: Fruit prints 🍎  🍍  🍓 

I love these, because they are unusual and conversation starters

My first fruit print is on a skirt and is vintage, from the 1950's

It is a wild color way, which was very fashionable, and a mark of the 50's,

in turquoise, pink, acid yellow and black

It is a little difficult to make out while wearing it, because the print is so large and abstract, 

but various types of fruit are in among wine bottles

I decided to go all out and wear this special skirt in a classic retro way

with a pink cropped knit vest over a Peter Pan collar white blouse

This vest has become a favorite 

and I have styled it several times on the blog this past fall and winter

Complementing the bold print in the skirt

 with a high contrast black and white striped handle bag

Wearing a pink 50's fashion girls print scarf in my hair

Accessorizing with a few pieces of classic gold tone jewelry-

a pendant disc necklace, love knot bracelet and ball stud earrings

Peep toe low wedge sling backs with buckle design

to finish this outfit

Next, a new dress by Betsy Johnson,

in cool aqua with a riotous over all print

of bright red strawberries 🍓

This dress has lots of pretty, feminine details,

like tiny ruffles around the neckline and tulip sleeves,

and a fitted high waist and deep ruffled hem 

Carrying my 1960's vintage white wicker bag

with the plastic see through panel that shows the vibrant colorful lining

Sweet gold tone jewelry

with large heart shaped earrings, a bow motif bracelet 

and the same disc necklace as my first outfit

This dress seemed the perfect opportunity 

to wear my red and white striped, red ribboned espadrilles 

Hope you enjoyed this fun post as much as I enjoyed wearing these outfits

Have a good week!
