Bloom Bloom Pow!

Hello Fashionista's!
We're back and this time "hauter" than ever.

I'm sure you guys loved our introduction of the Snazzy Man but for today’s post we're taking you back to the basics, the basics that all of us love.

The weather in Mumbai has taken us by surprise time and again. The sudden chill in the air over the past 2 months that is dispersing into an early arrival of heat and humidity.

Is that bringing us down? NOT AT ALL.

'Cause no one does keeping up better than us. ;)

The onsets of new seasons allow us to experiment with different cuts/styles and with so many inspiring warm-weather looks trickling in and out of stores right now, we fashion fanatics are definitely ready to shed our heavy coats and SPRING forward. There’s no better way to ring in the season than with a super-fresh floral piece.

Of course, the flower-powered items we're interested in for this coming season are anything but the tired '90s-inspired numbers we've come to know all too well. Instead, we're looking for updates in the form of oversized blooms, asymmetrical patterns, and wallpaper-worthy buds that are total show stoppers. To get to know the crazy botanicals that are about to make your wardrobe bloom big time, go ahead — and get pluckin'.

Layering your clothes always enhances a look. With this look we decided to layer an already snazzy floral dress with:

A) A shirt in a solid color since that tones down the already busy floral print giving it a less bolder yet a very different look. The shirt is held together with a belt, a look that is advisable for a slim as well as a regular built.

b) A solid colored V-Neck flowy top. The V-Neck is taken keeping in mind the frills around the neck area of the floral dress, in order for them to be visible and look stylish when pulled out. The belt is used around the waist to define the body shape and this layering is advised for a slim body type since its body hugging.

We know what you're thinking:

Florals for spring, how revolutionary! *Insert eye roll here*

But even while shelves are filling up with ditsy-printed duds and flowery frocks — all a little bit too precious for our tastes — you actually can join the garden party without revisiting your Kindergarten days. How? By giving those floral prints a snazzy dose of preppy flair.

With a little structure, these pieces look fresh, modern, and equal parts sweet and sophisticated — and you can easily wear any of them for work or play.  So tell us Creative Fashionistas, are you into bold floral prints? How do you wear this trend? Comments and emails are always welcome :)
