Frock Fridays: Florals for Spring (Groundbreaking)


We just have to acknowledge the brilliance of The Devil Wears Prada before we go any further, don't we?  And then we have to follow the gif with a communal freak-out because the movie was made seven years ago.  Can you believe it?  God, I feel old.  Anyway, back to the topic at hand: florals for spring.

No, it's not groundbreaking, but then most of what I wear isn't, terribly.  I wear what makes me feel good, and florals in the spring make me happy - they made me feel alive, like I'm echoing the rebirth of the earth in every swish of my skirt or flick of my wrist or click of my feels.  And it is spring, even though the weather seems not to have been informed, and I'm really hoping that, if I wear spring, Mother Nature will follow my example.  There's almost no way Miranda Priestly would understand that, though, so let's just not tell her, okay?  Thanks.

  1. I absolutely love The Devil Wears Prada! My mom and I are both fashion geeks and I think we watched the "Vogue" fashion montage a dozen times when the movie first came out on DVD. Groundbreaking or not, I love spring florals, and especially the floral shoe trend - great choices!! :)

  2. Love this post! I am such a floral person. I could go around wearing floral and dresses/skirts every day of my life and be the happiest girl around. :)

  3. I love florals, too. My favorite spring/summer dresses are of the cutesy, floral variety, and it never fails to bring a smile to my face. Flowers mean life!

  10. First of all, we can't possibly be old enough for the Devil Wears Prada to be 7 years old. Have you seen The September Issue? I just downloaded Grace Coddington's memoir, can't wait to read it. Second of all, I'm obsessed with the fabric on that j.crew miniskirt!

  12. Florals are my jam in the spring. Any pattern in a sundress is basically my jam. And SERIOUSLY 7 years?!? Eep.

  13. you told the truth?! Love it!! September Issue was a fascinating response to Devil Wears Prada. Totally worth some background tv time while flipping through your favorite magazines.

  20. Is it seriously seven years old?! That doesn't make me feel good at all. But florals make me feel good, because florals mean that spring is here :)
