I love the surge of excitement that I get when I see one that I adore. And it’s always love at first site (patterns never seem to grow on me – I either love them or I don’t). My favourite pattern of all time is polka dots in all its variations. There’s just something so fun, fresh, modern, graphic and retro about a spotty vibe. Next would be geometrics and after that abstract florals. [...] [...] As much as I love the pure, clean-cut and versatile edge of solids, my wardrobe would feel bland without patterns.

The flowers are a lot smaller and clustered together then the ones on your photos. I also like the larger graphic florals as those from Gucci (especially the yellow/white ones on black). Love this blog btw!!

I like many types of florals including small prints. I am not a big fan of the very large florals for myself. Graphic florals or abstract can be nice. I have some tops that are florals and some skirts that are florals. I love flowers any way! :) Well, I guess I am the odd one out here. I like many types of florals including small prints.

Big florals on big butts is just WRONG! Oh yeah, I keep florals to tops exclusively. Big florals on big butts is just WRONG!

The whole moo-moo image comes to mind. ekkkkk. Most of the florals I have are sweet pea tops that are fitted. I have one dress with abstract floral design--lots of negative space is the only reason it works. Mostly, I prefer small prints or solids. Call me a frump! I do admire floral print shoes, but they don't end up in my closet for fear they have limited shelf life and will be difficult to pair with outfits.

It's sheer with a square gathered neck and sleeveless and the floral print is graphic with big flowers in bright colors. I'm more in to abstract prints though and wish more of the painterly and artsy stuff had hit the low end.

I do have two tops wth small floral prints tough that somehow manage not to look upholstery-like (at least I hope so:) And that DVF dress is to die for! I agree with you on types of florals Angie.

However, Angie, I do love that yellow dress. I usually avoid wearing floral patterns…I’m not the tallest or slimmest person ;) I do, however, love to wear ornate, flowery shoes!
