Ditsy Florals for Summer

 Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

When I think of ditsy prints, the first type to pop into my mind 

are the nostalgic micro florals 

that were so popular in the early aughts

A lot of details from the Y2K era have been popping back up 

in fashion over the past few years

Ditsy florals, and other random all-over prints 

come in all sizes and figural themes

I have seen some really cute 

and whimsical ones of many different types of objects 

They float around on the background of the garment,

in a weightless kind of way

Florals are by far the most plentiful though,

and easiest to find

Are you a fan of these ditsy floral prints?

The first dress I am wearing is a medium size ditsy floral print  

of daisies in the complimentary colors of orange and blue 

suspended on a white background

It is a lot of dress, with a slight high-low hem

  and a midi skirt with three tiers of flounces  

The dress is a partially lined crinkle gauze,

and is very light and breezy for summer

It has lots of sweet and feminine details that I love,

like flutter sleeves, a flattering V neckline,

 and a faux wrap bodice

The dress did not come with a belt and has an all around elasticized waistband, 

so I added an orange and peach floral scarf

 tied in a bow as a sash belt 

I decided to gussy this outfit up for a special occasion,

but with the slightly boho style of the dress,

I think it could easily be worn more casually, too

Since silver metallic is so on trend,

I'm carrying a small reptile embossed clutch

and wearing a silver and rhinestone hairband

I chose light, sparkly silver tone jewelry

to compliment the dress-

hoop earrings, a daisy pendant necklace

and wide open X's cuff bracelet 

For shoes, I went metallic with silver kitten heel sling backs

My next outfit is made up of separates with a midi skirt

of that familiar micro ditsy floral print we all know so well!

The very type that I wore in the aughts,

 but the skirt length was shorter back then

How about you-do you like this type of retro print?

This skirt has a gray background

 with pale pink and mauve flowers, and moss green leaves

I think it would work styled for fall, as well

Worn with an ivory crinkle rayon flutter sleeve peplum blouse 

layered over a blush pleated neckline sleeveless top  

Carrying my little two tone pink heart shaped handle bag

For jewelry, I chose a dainty gold tone collar necklace

with rhinestone starbursts, and gold tone hoop earrings

The bracelet is a wide row of nude leather cord straps

embellished with a large pink stone 

Nude tie low heels to finish the outfit

Another ditsy floral print in pink tones on a skirt I wore 

on the blog two years ago, in the summer of 2022,

with a 1980's blouse

Ditsy floral prints resemble this bed of pretty

 yellow, violet and purple pansy faces in the garden

Love 😍

Hope everyone has a good week!
