Florals for Spring: How to Make them Groundbreaking again
"Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking."
We've all seen The Devil Wears Prada, and I'm sure most of you can quote this iconic scene by heart, too. But most importantly, it inspired a lot of us that florals in Spring might be considered an... obvious style choice.
However, this year, florals have been done differently, in a (dare we say) groundbreaking way. Sorry, Ms. Priestly!
In this post, we'll highlight some of our favourite picks from our go-to retailers that step away from stereotypical styling and straight into elevated looks that take florals to a new level. These items are perfect for weekend walks, brunch with the gals, or even family barbecues - weather permitting! While these looks are perfect for Spring, it's also great inspiration if you have a holiday upcoming (because we can't help but buy new outfits for our next trip, right ladies?).
PrettyLittleThing
If you're looking for on-trend fashion that fits your budget, PrettyLittleThing is a safe place to look. And, for floral fashion that steps away from the standard, it's a rose amongst thorns!

From the bold...
