Trending Next Spring: Flower Power

I say "spring," you think "flowers," right? Yes. ("Kangaroo" is also an acceptable answer.) April showers bring May flowers, don't they? Yes. That's why it should come as no surprise to you that floral prints are stayin' alive for another season.

This time around, the designers have gotten creative with the classic print. Instead of keeping them in a continual pattern or in natural flower colors or just as a print on a fabric, they've gone crazy. The patterns are whimsical, they're in insane colors and they're 3D (see: Louis Vuitton, par example.).

Next spring, to update the overdone print, you're going to want to wear it in new ways--instead of wearing a plain ol' floral dress, try it in blazer form, or maybe pants form. Or maybe combine the two, and wear a floral pantsuit (you'd be surprised at how many designers did that). Are you starting to get where this is going? Whether you are or not, we're cutting to the pictures.

I hope you can acknowledge how much fun these botany-inspired prints can be. They're ridiculously versatile, and the possibilities are endless. This trend is going to be done to pieces, so you better jump on the bandwagon ASAP, because people might be sick of them next spring. 

Unlike all of my private school friends, I am not off from school until next week. That means my teachers are cramming more exams and tests into the last week of school, so I'm not sure how often I'll be posting. But I do have a lot of ideas I'm hoping to execute over winter break, plus I've got some nifty new craft projects I'm undertaking. GET PUMPED EVERYONE!
