Tempted Tuesdays // Flrity & Fantastic Florals

As a semi-girly girl, I am always all over some floral fashion.  My fave ways to wear florals are in a 90's fem-grungy way (think doc marten's & bobby socks)  or a floral-meets-bold-metals way (think rose gold watches & lots of bangles - big bold jewelry).  This Tempted Tuesday I am inspired by vintage silhouettes & that good 'ol Easter Sunday feel.  Whether you are going on a romantic spring date, have a fun weekend planned, or have a sweet get together to attend, Floral (and Coral) is the way to go this Spring:

The first outfit would be great for a spring wedding or more formal Bridal Shower.  It reminds me of a what a proper Southern woman would wear as not to offend her sweet Southern Belle of a Grandmother.  I am not quite sure if my own gramma is a Southern Belle being she boasts of her gang of friends, including here best friend Melvina (pronounced: Mel-Vine-uh) sporting overalls to a football game in high school.  Oh what risk takers they were.

The second outfit is perfect for a little weekend date, a day of thrifting, or a day of bike riding.  Be sure you include some bike shorts under there if you are going to be straddling a 6-speed.  The pattern is bold & screams spring in a perfectly matched blue & gold.  Your Keds or white oxfords & your trusty messenger back complete the outfit.  Make sure you grab your camera because you are going places girl!

The final combination is sweet for a Sunday service but perfect for a romantic date.  Flirty & floral, you'll have him weak in your classy coral dress & shades combo.  I am all over brown & chunky sandals for Spring.  I am pretty sure it's left over from my Clog love affair this past Fall/Winter.  The chunky heel makes the outfit a bit more casual so you can hunt eggs with the best of 'em with out digging your heels in the grass.

So whether you have places to go or just places to be floral is flexible with it comes to Spring fashion.  You can even have a garden on your hand:
