Flowers

The end of summer is getting closer by the minute and the autumn weather has already started to settle, however we are still getting a few days of nice sunshine here and there and so I've been clinging to every little ray. Throughout this summer I've noticed I've had a bit of a thing for floral printed dresses. Now generally, I don't obsess over looking like wallpaper, however the three pieces I've been loving don't make me resemble wallpaper at all.

The first one is something that would be appropriate all year round because of the black base and it is something I will continue to wear up until my legs can't stand the cold anymore. It is a basic shift type dress which just hangs on the body. Sometimes this can look really unflattering, however I like the way it fits on me as it is a really good size so doesn't resemble a bag. Also, there is a hole in the back with two straps that cross over which I think adds the perfect amount of detail on top of the vibrant flowers.

The second is one I fell head over heels for when I spotted it in Topshop. I love the cream/yellow colour and the flowers are all so detailed and have a really intricate look to them all whilst adding a pop of colour. It is actually a playsuit which I prefer with this style of clothing because the material at the front crosses over from the waist down leaving a big 'v' down the middle of the chest if the bow at the back isn't tight enough. Therefore if it was a dress I think I'd be worried all the time about exposing myself in one way or another.

The third one is the most girly and vibrant, but I think it's stunning. I plan on wearing this to a wedding later in the year. It has a slight metallic finish to it and the blue flowers tone the vibrancy down a tad. I really like the halter neck and on me it comes to just above the knees so it still classes as appropriate wedding attire. Even though my sole intention was to wear it to a wedding I have worn it out on numerous occasions whilst we've still had the sun and never once has it looked over the top.

I'm going to be wearing these until all the sun disappears. What do you think of floral pieces?

I hope you enjoyed reading,
