I had settled into a nice minimal wardrobe, content with my Everlane tees and dark wash jeans. But, one day not long ago, the trees in the median of a nearby street suddenly bloomed dazzling pink and now I just want to wear bright florals to chase the last bit of winter away.
Solid colors have their place – and they’re essential building blocks if you’re someone inclined to prints – but it’s a season for pattern and I’m so excited to dress a bit more feminine after being on a menswear kick for the past few seasons. In reality, I’ll be depending on thrifting and accessorizing for floral accents. I don’t think I can justify overturning my wardrobe (or my budget) to make way for half a dozen new dresses.
Oh, and by the way, I’m using the Style Wise facebook page to post interesting articles and fair trade sales. There’s a lot of interesting stuff happening in the world of retail right now.
I really love florals. They are harder to pull off as I get older, but I still try to wear a floral skirt or top with solid pieces.
