|Style| Floral Week - Bodycon Skirt

Welcome back floral fans!  We continue Floral Week with another adorably flower influenced piece.  Today it’s all about the bodycon skirt.

While I’m not one to rock a lot of bodycon pieces, I love this skirt!  It’s made of an ultra soft and stretchy printed floral fabric that doesn’t leave me feeling revealed or like I’m in a sausage casing.  That being said, it’s still very close fitting.  That’s why I paired it with a an off-white loose fitting woven shell, that I bloused at the skirt’s waistband.  I love that the floral element in the skirt is done in a horizontal stripe, which is a nice nod to nautical, in a fresh way.

While Spring finally feels like it’s here to stay, there are still those nippy days.  Whether the weather is rainy or breezy, a long cardigan is a great way to top off an outfit that’s all Spring playtime!  And there’s nothing wrong with a little floral on floral action, so I finished the look off with some mixed media floral flats.

|Style| Floral Week - Mesh Dress

We all know how it goes, ‘April showers, bring May flowers”.  Well that may be true in nature, but not in fashion.  The ‘flowers’ are already here!  I hope you all enjoyed the post that launched Floral Week yesterday.  Today we continue with a cute dress that is a anything but gloomy on a rainy day!

I love this mesh floral frock.  I found it sad and lonely on a rack of sweaters one day in February.  It said early spring time event, or date night to me.  I love the almost iridescence that comes from the layered printed mesh.  It’s a darker floral, which I like, since I find most florals to be a little more loud, especially in plus sizes.

I’m a big fan of the shape of this dress too.  We will see more dresses like this, this season.  The elastic at the waist gives you some versatility.  You can wear it at the waist, like a skater dress, or blouse it up for a little more fullness at the bust.  Dresses like this are also easy pieces to wear, and a great canvas to showcase some larger accessories.

|Style| Floral Week - Swimwear

I know what you’re all thinking, “florals, for spring?  Groundbreaking...”  We all know that quote, but the truth is, florals are everywhere for spring!  They’ve been popping up in shops since mid February, but sadly there was nothing spring like about the weather until just last week.  Now that the beautiful weather seems like it’s here to stay and not just being a fashion-tease, I wanted to celebrate with a fresh burst of colour!  Every day this week I will be posting a new look focused around a fun floral piece. 

To start off the week let’s just bare it all!  I have been shopping online for a hot weather vacation destination.  Obviously along with that, has come some swimwear shopping as well.  Since my vacation isn’t happening for months, I couldn’t resist getting into the spirit early with a little photo shoot.

Like so many, when GabiFresh launched her latest collection of swimwear for swimsuitsforall, I had to have it!  I fell in love with this beautiful, retro-looking, palm leaf print one piece.  The band at the waist, the cup detailing and the convertible straps!  Yas queen!  I feel like a bombshell in this.

Admittedly I’ve never worn a bikini (or fatkini).  When I found this swim top online, I wasn’t sure now I was going to feel about it.  After putting it on, I was feeling myself!  It’s longline, which is why I think I feel so comfortable in it.  The colours are bright and fresh and just make me long for the beach.  And I wouldn’t be surprised if you see me rocking this as a top with a maxi skirt later this summer.

Keep an eye on the blog tomorrow for another floral look.
