Current Inspirations: vintage floral style


Lately, I've been yearning for warm afternoons and lazier evenings filled with golden sunshine, loose, floaty silhouettes and casual, pretty appeal. As you can tell, I've also been inspired by the summer outfits of my fellow bloggers as I wait longingly for my own summer to make an appearance. Can you name all the bloggers that appear in here?

Here is the breakdown of what's driving me crazy fashion-wise right now:
  • florals everywhere: skirts, tops, hair pieces, oh my!
  • neutral tones like pale pink, heather grays, white, robin egg blues
  • loose blouses tucked into pants, shorts or skirts
  • sheer tops made of lace or chiffon
  • elements of nature, particularly waterways and forest paths
  • vintage elements: old rotary phones, a Beijing clay workshop, a room filled with books and music

Love the collage. I actually bought a floral shirt too and got compliments for it. Been tucking it in my pants and shorts for that look too ;) Saw some nice floral shirts at the Gap too for sale.
