Raise your hand if you’ve ever been told that floral prints look like they belong on your grandma, or worse, on her couch. I’m raising mine over here, both of them; I’ve heard it more than a few times lately.
As much as I don’t enjoy being told my attire reminds someone of a plastic covered sofa, I try to cut them a little slack since this season’s beautiful prints are reminiscent of decades past. The chances their grandmother wore a similar pattern, is likely. Heck, if Granny was lucky enough to save some of her old pieces, I bet she’s one stylish lady right now.
Truthfully, floral has almost always been cool. Sure, it evolves each year and some decades weren’t as beautiful as others, I’m looking at you 80’s, but each spring and summer, floral has it’s hay day.
