Rock The Floral!

Hey girls!
I was feeling inspired for another "Trends" post! Personally, I think this is going to be my favorite one EVER.
It's the oh-so-70's floral trend!
Again, it was modernized, using more interesting cuts and colors, but it's essential the same thing! Obviously, worn the right way, you won't look like you're stuck in that era.
Not sure how to rock this trend? Here are my pointers:

  • Avoid mixing floral patterns together. You could wear a floral shit and a floral bracelet, but floral shirt and floral pants are really hard to pull off. You'll most likely look like a hippie.
  • Avoid mixing floral with another print. If you really want to, use "opposite" prints. Floral is really feminine and sweet, so maybe try going to a more geometrical print if you absolutely want to mix them. Also, just to be safe, try not having the pieces close one to the other. Shirt and shoes, not pants and shirt, get it? 
  • Try modernizing your floral print by adding bold accessories. 
  • Choose colors that compliment your skin color, not colors that wash you out! Those will probably make you look like you haven't updated your wardrobe in 40 years!
