Wishing a very happy Mother's Day this week
to all of the mothers out there!
Mother's Day is the perfect time
to remember, recognize and celebrate
the mom(s) in your life, as well as
all of the women in our lives
who take on the role of mentor and caregiver
Send them flowers and shower them
with hugs and kisses always,
and especially on their special day
This week seems the perfect time to give all the flowers,
and wear all the flowers, too
Do you like to wear floral prints?
I do, but I know everyone doesn't like them on their bodies,
and would prefer to dress in solid colors
or other prints and patterns
so you do you!
For this post, I chose two dresses,
each with a very different look and floral print
The first one has a muted, low contrast pattern
of tan flowers on an ivory background
I like all of the feminine details on this dress-
the short puffed sleeves, the flattering V neckline,
and of course, the swishy deep ruffled hem
I usually swap out the belt
if a garment comes with a self fabric one, or a sash waist tie,
but this one seems to actually compliment the dress,
so it stays, for now
Gold tone jewelry blends in very nicely with the golden tan print
of the flowers in this dress,
so I chose flower shaped post earrings,
a chain collar necklace and a bow bracelet
all in gold tone
and wearing tan d'Orsey kitten heel pumps
with buckle details
For my second flowery outfit, I chose a bold, high contrast
William Morris-esque print in navy blue and white
It is a midi wrap style dress, with a banded waist
The sash belt is attached, and can be tied multiple ways-
in the front, on the side or in the back
I tied it in the back for this wear,
as there is a lot of busy-ness in the print already
to add long streamers or a bow
I tried on several necklaces, that just seemed like too much
so I opted not to wear one at all
I settled on large, bright white 3-D enamel earrings
I have loved wearing florals for many years!
Here is a floral dress from this time of year
from the way back machine: 2019
A beautiful spring bouquet
for all to enjoy!
I hope everyone enjoys their Mother's Day and their week!
