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

A beautiful spring bouquet

for all to enjoy!

 

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