Pretty in florals with Bank Fashion

Yesterday I was woken by a strange thing.  My room was filled in the wee hours of the morning with a golden ambiance shining through my blinds and disturbing my slumber.  What was this phenomenon happening to me? I seem to remember what it is.. ah yes, sunshine. Readers, it seems that Spring can not come quickly enough for those of us in the Northern hemisphere.  Everyday as I pull on my trusty boots once more, I look longingly at my floral flats, strappy sandals, and jaunty heels.  Soon, soon, I will take them out for a much needed walk.

Coinciding with one's spring footwear, one needs appropriately spring-like clothing.  Florals are a big trend once again this year, something which I'm glad for as I still haven't quite gotten my floral obsession out of my system just yet.  Nothing banishes winter's dark colors and layers like delicate floral dresses and tops.  If you're looking for some floral items that will literally cost less than a night of all-you-can-eat hot pot (yes, this is how I calculate value), then you simply must check out UK retailer Bank Fashion.  I'm not super familiar with this retailer, but they seem targeted towards the Forever 21 set.  Bank Fashion has a wide variety of casual, pretty clothes that are super cheap!  Here are a few ways to incorporate florals into your closet, all for under 20£ (or $31 CAD!):



As sweet as strawberry pie, or as sexy as a saucy country gal, this tank can do it all.



I actually own a dress very similar in shape to this so I can attest to its wear-ability.  Create that perfect hourglass shape with its accentuated waist, while side pockets are a plus plus in my book!



Maxis are another big trend this spring.  At first I was very wary of this look, but after seeing a few intrepid short bloggers rock this look, I am on the hunt for a great maxi! Take on two trends at once with this walG maxi dress.  Wouldn't this look perfect with some wedges and the next item below?



While not technically floral, it does feature a floral crochet pattern!  If you're not a huge fan of florals, but want that feminine touch, something like this shrug is the way to go.  A shrug is uber versatile; make it girly with a dress and flat sandas, or make it edgy with a vintage band tee and dark skinnies!

How will you wear florals this season?

I love your picks! I actually don't wear florals often, I think I have one blouse in my closet with florals on it. I am not sure why but I feel like I can't pull them off :(

I have this thing for crochet clothing items and that shrug is really lovely. I wish my mom knows how to make a pattern similar to that. :D
