With a snowstorm hitting New York today it certainly doesn’t feel like Spring but there is no denying next weekend is actually April and that means, give me ALL the florals! I know, I know every time someone says florals for Spring I think of that great Devil Wears Prada quote but the pattern really is a staple and one that will never go out of style. (And can we side bar for a moment, how excited are we about the DWP sequel that is all about Emily, eek!)
But back to florals, I think fresh floral is such a fun take on the traditional pattern to keep it light and airy but perfect for the season – start with maxi dresses and long sleeves for early Spring and transitioning into breezy tanks and dresses that will take you straight into Summer. Take a look at 10 of my favorite picks for the season:
alice + olivia Athena Skirt in Lola Floral | MINKPINK Somerset Midi Dress in Multi
Amanda Uprichard Eleanora Top in Verbena | GOEN.J Ruffled Cami with Floral Print in Sky Blue |
MISA Suvi Top in Multi . | BB Dakota JACK Shakira Dress
Kate Spade New York The Bead Goes On Statement Earrings . | Mercedes Salazar Sunset Dreams Hoop Earrings |
Amanda Uprichard Calico Dress in Somerset | Flynn Skye Mallory Maxi Dress in Blue My Mind
And I almost included the Cushnie Et Ochs Surrealist Floral Alba Dress because I thought it would be the perfect fit until I saw the price tag – $1,545! It sure is a gorgeous dress but that is a bit too much money for even me to recommend someone spend on a dress that isn’t floor length and white 😉 Another honorable mention would be this alice + olivia Kirby Ruffle Dress in Wildflower but I was afraid it would get too dirty!
Oh, and all of the pieces today are from Shopbop who is having a big sale where you can save up to 75% off of sale items with the code SOEXTRA. Can you guess which one of these pieces I bought last night? Hint, it is going to be great for Portugal next week!
What do you think of Fresh Floral for Spring?

I love all of your floral dress picks but the one I would buy right now is the BB Datoka dress you showed here. For the whole month of March all I have been wearing is my black winter jacket, jeans, long sleeve tops and run down sneakers/boots because of the weather here in NYC. I can’t wait to slip into a dress and sandals.

I really love the shape of the Amanda Uprichard Eleanora Top in Verbena. I feel like I could dress it up or down and it would look so feminine. Great choices and I can’t wait for spring to be here!
