“Ain’t she sweet, see her walking down the street, ain’t she nice, look her over once or twice.”

This is a song my grandmother used to sing to me and it generally sums up how I feel when I wear a floral print. I feel sweet, I feel nice, I feel like I may be looked over once or twice. This makes me happy. But there is a fine line between feeling happy and sweet and feeling like a sacharine baby doll mess. A fine line indeed. So…

How To Wear Florals Without Looking Like An Extra From To Catch A Predator

Step One: Layer with strong “don’t F with me” jacket. I’m wearing blush leather here. The color is girly but the fabric and cut suggest that this kitty may have claws. A motorcycle jacket and florals is always a win.

Step Two: Add a subtle dose of studs. Studded accessories are like martinis: best in moderation. This belt adds just the right amount of edge – not overkill. 

Step Three: Don’t forget your big girl shoes. I love my ballet flats with rolled jeans and a BF sweater but a neutral wedge is better for this look. You’re a grown woman after all not a french schoolgirl.  

Et Voila – A Summer look that’s both naughty and nice.
