flowers bloom in the street

As I sit here and stare at these gorgeous, spring-y street-style snaps, the ever popular Instagram-famous quote "bloom where you are planted" most definitely comes to mind. I've always been fond of flowery prints. You know the kinds that remind you of your grandparent’s couch, which may or may not have been preserved in that awful, slippery plastic. I digress—from watercolor to tropical, petal to stamen, I love them all, especially when tied together with a blazer and matching trouser or skirt. J’adore, or they would say in Italy, ‘Mi Piace’ seeing the somewhat stuffy suit silhouette that’s plastered in roses and peonies. It gives the commonplace business look a bold, fresh take, that's also at times very rock and roll.
