Floral Prints for Spring 2013

Spring has come, and with it, all the beautiful flowers are blooming, bright, saturated with colors, and I just enjoy walks through the parks of Manhattan, so much! I couldn't resist taking pictures, and then again when I went window shopping in Chelsea, Meatpacking and West Village I found beautiful floral prints, that remind me of this natural process of Spring, I just have to share them with you!

 I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

 And remember when choosing prints, always have in mind, the overall size of the motive, the main color scheme, and the distance between images, in this case, flowers. In the two examples to the left, you can see the first print the size is overall small, and the space in between is also small. It gives a closed print that looks good on small framed women, and women with small features if worn near the face, as in a top, blouse or t-shirt will look best in this kind of print. Also this print is a good combination of warm (warm orange and light yellow) and cool (pink and fuschia) colors. Ideal for all skin tones.





On the second print on the left, the overall size of the flowers is bigger, and the distance between them is larger. The space in between is black, which is a good choice when prints are big. It is a good option for bigger framed women, and those that have more prominent features if it is worn around the face on tops, shirts, or blouses. It is a good color scheme for all skin tones, but will look better on those that are Winter because it has mostly a cooler feel.

Remember that flowers are not just for Spring! But I do enjoy them now more than ever! I love the combine floral prints, with polka dots,

I just bought a polka dot blue denim shirt, that I just love to wear it opened or tied at the waist on top of the many floral dresses I own, and because it is getting warmer now, sometimes I can get away with just wearing those two pieces and no sweater! It looks gorgeous!

If technology were only a bit better, and I could show you the smell those flowers had, oh! but I think at least I can share these photos, they are one of the best I have taken ever!

Cheers to Nature's continuous inspiration for Art/Fashion!
