I can finally breathe a ginormous sigh of relief now that Spring is officially here! Similar to trees, I felt like a part of me had gone dormant for most of the winter. Now I can “branch” out again and don light weight trenches, vibrant colors, and bare legs!
On a fairly recent excursion to a very remote Target store–yes, I was on a quest to track down the near-obliterated Liberty capsule collection–I was enamored with the flurry of floral prints before me. Not only for women, but for men too! I know, I know… You may feel that florals are dated or childlike or even obnoxious. But, as with everything in fashion, there is a great deal of workarounds. Afraid of prints? Go for a floral accent via a belt or tie. Trying to look less cutesy? Go for a sophisticated, abstract watercolor. Not masculine enough for you men? Go for a duotone subdued print that adds just the right amount of pizzazz without sacrificing any hunkiness whatsoever.
