Here on this side of the world (France) we are seeing a lot of florals too, but my favourite are the ones on long long dresses like those featured in the D&G shows. The flowers are a lot smaller and clustered together then the ones on your photos. I also like the larger graphic florals as those from Gucci (especially the yellow/white ones on black). Love this blog btw!! Just discovered it today

Well, I guess I am the odd one out here. I like many types of florals including small prints. I am not a big fan of the very large florals for myself. Graphic florals or abstract can be nice. I have some tops that are florals and some skirts that are florals. I love flowers any way!

Oh yeah, I keep florals to tops exclusively. Big florals on big butts is just WRONG!

Don’t like big prints on big bodies like mine–just emphasizes the big-ness of things. The whole moo-moo image comes to mind. ekkkkk. Most of the florals I have are sweet pea tops that are fitted. I have one dress with abstract floral design–lots of negative space is the only reason it works. Mostly, I prefer small prints or solids. Call me a frump! I do admire floral print shoes, but they don’t end up in my closet for fear they have limited shelf life and will be difficult to pair with outfits.

i think florals look their BEST on thicker women, we have the space to carry off teh pattern, and it emphasises the femininity of an hourglass figure. someone really slim might look chlidlike in a pink floral dress but at a size 14, it looks lushly feminine. imo.

I have not worn floral prints that much mostly due to worries about my size; ie, fears of larger prints, etc. I bought a floral tunic type top Monday that feels like something I would wear for a couple of seasons. It’s sheer with a square gathered neck and sleeveless and the floral print is graphic with big flowers in bright colors. I’m more in to abstract prints though and wish more of the painterly and artsy stuff had hit the low end.

I agree with you on types of florals Angie. I do have two tops wth small floral prints tough that somehow manage not to look upholstery-like (at least I hope so:)
And that DVF dress is to die for!

I love hibiscus prints

I also agree with what Angie wrote above.

I really like clothing that is one or two colors…three at most.

I usually avoid wearing floral patterns…I’m not the tallest or slimmest person I do, however, love to wear ornate, flowery shoes! However, Angie, I do love that yellow dress.

Get ready for a big surprise: I agree with you Angie. I have the same floral inclinations. I especially love that yellow dress in the middle. The coloring is fantastic.

I definitely steer clear of the Laura Ashley stuff. It has to be the frumpiest print on earth.
