All the Big, Bold Florals for Summer

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

It is the height of summer,

 and time for some big, bold florals! 

Well, any time is the right time for floral prints in my mind,

but with so much sunshine

 and the colorful blooms of the season,

it is the natural time to

 bring them out of my closet in full force!

Are you a fan of floral garments,

or would you to leave the flowers for the garden?

Today I am wearing a cotton midi dress

 with big, bright green and white flowers

 on a navy blue background

This dress is very comfortable to wear,

 as it has an open V-neckline and short flutter sleeves

I added a white belt from my closet to break up all those flowers and cover the elastic waist band

Wicker and summer go hand in hand

 so today I chose to carry this cute little

 round straw handle bag with a seashell motif

This bag was one of those lucky chance on-line purchases

 that turned out to be as cute in person

 as it did in the photo online,

 It has become a summer staple in my wardrobe

For jewelry, a silver tone collar necklace

 and some fresh white pieces

A 1950s vintage white plastic expandable cuff bracelet,

 and a current pair of white enamel floral earrings

with 3-D petals

The quintessential summer shoe-

  canvas wedge espadrilles

 in a navy blue and white stripe, with navy ribbons

A little fun with the photos,

 Roger is wearing a pastel blue Hawaiian shirt with big blue hibiscus flowers on it

There are not a lot of big, splashy Hawaiian style prints

in my wardrobe,

but here is a wild and wacky

 orange and burgundy skirt 

from way back in the summer of 2019

Orange has become such a big color

 in the past couple of years,

 I kind of wish I hadn't consigned it

Nothing Hawaiian blooming in my garden,

the Rose of Sharon bushes look a little tropical

Here are some gorgeous deep red lilies

from a neighbor's garden from earlier in the season

Hope you are having a good week!
