FLORAL FOR SPRING? GROUNDBREAKING! {STYLE TIPS INCLUDED}

I’m sure you all know where this popular phrase came from and can quote it word for word, Miranda Priestly-style. While she may be right that there’s nothing ground breaking about floral for spring, there’s also the age old wisdom to not mess with the classics. Wardrobe, clothing, style – all of these are expressions of oneself, which fundamentally is impacted by many factors. And one of these factors is the weather.

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA: FLORAL FOR SPRING? GROUNDBREAKING!

Just like everything in life, change is constant. Seasons change and so must we. In addition to that, there are transitions between seasons as we move from spring to summer or summer to fall… there’s the easing into period, which, at the very least not only causes a bit of discomfort but it also causes some confusion on what to wear.

That’s why in the retail industry (you most likely noticed this while shopping), there’s a flow (new merchandise delivered to the stores) called transitional pieces. These are the pieces of clothing you wear when it’s a not quite winter anymore but it’s still not spring kind of day.

So, Miranda Priestly, I may incur your wrath but I think I’d stick with my floral for spring, thank you very much!

When putting together what to wear during transitional periods in between seasons, do keep in mind the following:

  • Do pay attention to the type of fabric and the cut of the dress. Cotton vs. linen vs. polyester have different levels of warmth so check out what your dress or top or skirt it made of.
  • Always keep a topper in those moments the temperature dips down. Think of cardigans, blazers, wrap sweaters, shawls or even oversized blanket scarf.
  • Have fun with your footwear and choose something out of your comfort zone. Especially since spring signifies a new beginning, why not try something new or even just something you have not done for awhile? I love heels (ALL. THE. TIME.) but for this look, it was more fun to, instead of putting my usual high heels on, pair this floral spring dress with the new ECCO Shoes Karma Intrinsic Sneakers in Coral!
