Flora

Spring is upon us and even though its currently 39 degrees and SNOWING in NYC, I am trying my hardest to think warm thoughts. Nothing says spring like flowers and since floral patterns were all over the runways, I put together some of my favorite vintage garden garments to put us all in a springtime mood.

This is a vintage Diane Von Furstenberg dress that is so bright and feminine. The vivid colors are a total celebration of spring.

Not all floral pieces have to be so vibrant. This dress is an example of sophisticated spring wear that is sexy and mature. My favorite part is the flower appliqué at the hip that is removable so it can be used an embellishment anywhere on the dress.

This is the typical girl next door dress that I love wearing. I added a vintage Betsey Johnson studded belt to toughen it up a bit. Plus the studs mimic the polka dots that are throughout the print, so it looks like a coordinated look.

Here's another take on a floral dress that is more subdued. The flowers are against a black background which adds a lil depth. I would wear this with black lace up ankle boots and antique silver jewelry like the vintage necklace picture here.

I loooove this floral metallic shirtdress. Metallic pieces are like clothing and jewelry rolled into one. I added a neutral colored belt to quell all the different colors. My advice would be to keep all the accessories simple to let the dress speak for itself.

Last but not least are these vintage Karl Lagerfeld earrings. These statement earrings are big and bold and will definitely be the centerpiece of every outfit. Perfect for spring!

I am over this winter weather, I hope it gets warmer soon! Enjoy your day!
