Spring Florals for Mother's Day



Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

Wishing a very happy Mother's Day this week
 to all of the mothers out there!
Mother's Day is the perfect time 
to remember, recognize and celebrate
 the mom(s) in your life, as well as
 all of the women in our lives
 who take on the role of mentor and caregiver
Send them flowers and shower them 
with hugs and kisses always,
and especially on their special day

This week seems the perfect time to give all the flowers, 
and wear all the flowers, too
Do you like to wear floral prints?
I do, but I know everyone doesn't like them on their bodies,
and would prefer to dress in solid colors
or other prints and patterns
so you do you!

For this post, I chose two dresses,
each with a very different look and floral print
 The first one has a muted, low contrast pattern
 of tan flowers on an ivory background
I like all of the feminine details on this dress-
the short puffed sleeves, the flattering V neckline,
and of course, the swishy deep ruffled hem


I usually swap out the belt
if a garment comes with a self fabric one, or a sash waist tie,
but this one seems to actually compliment the dress,
 so it stays, for now 



Gold tone jewelry blends in very nicely with the golden tan print 
of the flowers in this dress,
 so I chose flower shaped post earrings,
 a chain collar necklace and a bow bracelet
all in gold tone



In keeping with the neutral palette
I am carrying a tan reptile embossed handle bag,


and wearing tan d'Orsey kitten heel pumps
with buckle details



For my second flowery outfit, I chose a bold, high contrast
William Morris-esque print in navy blue and white
It is a midi wrap style dress, with a banded waist
The sash belt is attached, and can be tied multiple ways-
in the front, on the side or in the back
I tied it in the back for this wear,
as there is a lot of busy-ness in the print already
to add long streamers or a bow
  



I tried on several necklaces, that just seemed like too much
so I opted not to wear one at all
I settled on large, bright white 3-D enamel earrings
and an organic shaped gold tone cuff

Carrying a pinkish nude draw cord bucket bag,

and wearing similar colored tie kitten heels






I have loved wearing florals for many years! 
Here is a floral dress from this time of year
from the way back machine: 2019



A beautiful spring bouquet
for all to enjoy!
 


I hope everyone enjoys their Mother's Day and their week!

  2. I like to swap out belts that come with dresses, too. It's a great way to add versatility. But I think you are right with the first dress. The matching belt looks very good! Both of these outfits are so pretty on you!

  3. Hi Di!
    Have a Happy Mothers Day to you. I love the dresses you picked, the first one is right up my alley with the colors and I love the D-Orsay shoes. I do the same, usually swap out the belt.
    Lovely florals!
