I think pattern is a great way to add some interest in summer, when it's too hot to layer. </p> <p>Inge, Joyce, SarahF and RobinF, thank you!</p> <p>SaraL, I am with you. Nothing wrong with a sweet look though. I work with a couple of women who wear floral in a sort of retro 50s way, and they look great.</p> <p>Helen, those are great florals for your tropical climate. I think your gym floral beats my gym floral </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/3#post-1805598 Sat, 06 May 2017 00:19:06 +0000 Dana 1805598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, I only identified the florals so that I wouldn't rule them out completely, lol! I will admit though, I haven't been shopping much in the past couple of years, and as I think about it...very light on patterns in general. #ineedtogoshopping</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/3#post-1805526 Fri, 05 May 2017 19:36:36 +0000 Joyce B 1805526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF!

I love florals, too, though i don't have very many pieces in my wardrobe at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/3#post-1805458 Fri, 05 May 2017 15:45:59 +0000 Inge 1805458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very late to the party but I just wanted to see that every outfit is so perfect on you, Brooklyn. You wear these moody florals extremely well, and might I just add that your accessories game is on point too! (I am taking copious notes!)</p> <p>Sorry about the ripped dress -( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/3#post-1805396 Fri, 05 May 2017 13:25:02 +0000 Sara L. 1805396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great looks! &nbsp;I love florals too although I don't actually have many in my closet. &nbsp;I also prefer dark florals and black and white colored florals. &nbsp;I think that keeps them from looking too "sweet". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/3#post-1805393 Fri, 05 May 2017 13:17:14 +0000 Helen11 1805393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks! I love the red/ burgundy tones which you always wear so well.<br /> ETA my recent floral purchases, adding some life to my wardrobe.

At least you can still wear it as a top. These are all such gorgeous looks, I really can't choose a favorite. I just love your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/3#post-1805359 Fri, 05 May 2017 10:59:39 +0000 Brooklyn 1805359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you again to everyone. I am loving all this enthusiasm for floral.</p> <p>Rachy and Ledonna, I knew you would be on board! </p> <p>UF, I'd love to see those pencil skirts.</p> <p>Caro, yes! I forgot to mention my boots! I haven't worn them yet this year because it's still so warm. But I plan to.</p> <p>Dana, you are a sweetie. A poppy print sounds good. I must admit I don't give much thought to what the actual flowers are. I should be paying more attention!</p> <p>Lyn, lovely dresses. How about a pencil skirt, fellow pencil skirt queen? I hope you can use the tube skirt idea to advantage.</p> <p>Angie, I know. Sad But I think it will make a good top.</p> <p>And today I figured out what is missing from my floral every day collection: PJs!! I need some floral pyjamas ASAP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/3#post-1805324 Fri, 05 May 2017 07:10:45 +0000 rachylou 1805324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Work it!

I have a sugar eye for floral pencil skirts and have 2 on the go. I had to give myself strict criteria for colors so they will go with the best colors for tights and tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1805262 Fri, 05 May 2017 01:31:37 +0000 Caro in Oz 1805262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of these, especially the red outfit. I love moody florals too. You didn't include you floral boots, are they still working for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1805093 Thu, 04 May 2017 14:47:17 +0000 Dana 1805093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, you always have the greatest outfits! I wish I could wear jackets like you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Onto florals...I like them on others but have very few myself. They have to be bold, graphic and often abstract. And I've found I've ended up with a few things that are described as "poppy print" on the labels; however, I'm not really looking for poppies. I did love them when I lived in CA, though, lol!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1805078 Thu, 04 May 2017 14:29:46 +0000 Angie 1805078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Torn frock.</p> <p>*SOBBING* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1805002 Thu, 04 May 2017 10:45:07 +0000 lyn67 1805002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, like these-as I have the exact same preferences ref. a floral patter, who knew! Only I didn't find mine in a skirt, but i have bought 3(!!) new floral dresses (for each of my life purposes: work, casual and dressy) and &nbsp;love them all!</p> <p>Oh, and wearing a tonal tube under a dress too short is GENIAL!!!!! Thanx so much for the idea-see if I can apply(?).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1804988 Thu, 04 May 2017 09:48:38 +0000 Ledonna N. 1804988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in floral. I really like the versatility of the skirts. I only have 2 florals in my wadrobe but i love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1804987 Thu, 04 May 2017 09:38:19 +0000 Brooklyn 1804987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, someone once asked me if that white jacket is Chanel. I was so thrilled. (It's Zara.) </p> <p>Gigi, you are hip to my tricks I think those jeans might count as floral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1804964 Thu, 04 May 2017 04:40:28 +0000 Gigi 1804964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in these outfits! I especially love how you pull your outfits together through repeating color.</p> <p>I'm not a huge floral fan, but I'm not hating the trend either. I wouldn't mind having a few floral pieces in my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1804941 Thu, 04 May 2017 02:14:00 +0000 Jaime 1804941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning Brooklyn! I am too far away from the original post to look up and be specific but the white jacket outfit and the dress stood out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1804937 Thu, 04 May 2017 01:55:49 +0000 Brooklyn 1804937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, just saw your ETA. Yes, there is a floral for everyone! I might not be a bright floral gal, but I love your embroidered jeans. That is something I am thinking about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1804928 Thu, 04 May 2017 01:09:56 +0000 Brooklyn 1804928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Xtabay, I love the Japanese inspired florals too! They are more delicate than the large scale vintage inspired prints, but just as lovely.I have a skirt and top which I think are more Japanese inspired (see Finds).</p> <p>EmilyK. If that top weren't poly with a racer back, I would be wearing it for casual summer wear too.</p> <p>Bijou, that velvet coat is TDF! &nbsp;And you know I love your floral boots.</p> <p>Always Trying, I hope you live up to your moniker and find your perfect floral. I like the top that Vix suggested. In the northern hemisphere you have a lot more options than us down south.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, Joy, liasp and Ipr200, yes, patterns are so personal aren't they? I am quite picky about florals too, but there seems to be a lot to choose from at the moment, so I am stocking up. I don't really care for the ditsy patterns either. And I have a general preference for large scale (although I do like the Japanese versions that Xtabay talks about).</p> <p>Suz, I get your issue with floral. FWIW, I have seen lots of blue based florals here. Ink seems to be trending pretty heavily still. So maybe your perfect floral is out there. Interesting observation about wearing floral on bottom rather than on top. I think that's right though. I am less likely to tire of a patterned bottom than a patterned top. I am going to have to ponder why that is so. But it is a good insight to have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1804926 Thu, 04 May 2017 00:50:32 +0000 Brooklyn 1804926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, the dress fits true to size. I took my usual size. It will be long enough for you. I am tall and a bit prudish about skirt lengths (<u>on me</u>). I would just suggest some caution because of the rip. The rip occurred along the seam at the back. It may be that I caught it on something, or it may be the skirt was straining a little because I was wearing a tube skirt underneath. My husband thinks I must have caught it on something, because it is quite shredded. But it may be a quality issue. I am just not sure. It also creases a little with wear, but that's kind of to be expected. The black and white floral tee is by Lamb and Lamb, an Australian brand. It's bamboo, so very comfortable and breathable.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.lambandlamb.com.au/">https://www.lambandlamb.com.au/</a></p> <p>Angie, thank you! The K2K makes me extra sad about the dress But at least I can salvage a top out of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1804924 Thu, 04 May 2017 00:41:15 +0000 Brooklyn 1804924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, you look great in your florals. I think feathers, and cranes and leaves are all part of the same trend. I love your wallpaper too. I would wear that as a top with no hesitation. I just may have been inspired by you to order a Witchery blouse (a little similar to yours, but blue based) in their current 25% off sale. I don't have much in the way of long sleeved floral for the coming winter. We will see how it goes!</p> <p>Smittie, yes! it was sad about the dress. I am even sadder now that Angie gave it a K2K!</p> <p>Shedev, you might have better luck in Autumn/Winter. Spring/ Summer colours tend to be brighter.</p> <p>Janet, yes!!! I think that too. I am the office bound Janet, ha ha! I think your style leans a bit more rock and roll than mine, and I lean a bit more boho and 70s influenced than you, but there is a lot of commonality. I enjoy your posts. I wish I could wear jeans as well as you do.</p> <p>FC, this surprises me. I assumed that you would be on board because I think we have a lot of commonality in style preferences too. But I am glad you have an open mind.</p> <p>Sheila, I also have a green floral pencil skirt (see Finds). I am sure the perfect green floral is out there for you :)</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1804921 Thu, 04 May 2017 00:30:33 +0000 Brooklyn 1804921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your lovely comments! And especially to the non-lovers of floral.</p> <p>Staysfit, those are beautiful. I love the abstract florals too, but I prefer a darker colour scheme. I did buy an abstract dark green and blue floral skirt <br />last year. But I ended up having to return it because the design was faulty.</p> <p>JAileen, you are a treasure. I think I gave good advice! YLF!</p> <p>Diana, I love your florals! And I am lusting after a floral handbag of some kind. I wouldn't mind a floral sweater either..</p> <p>Vix, hi! Your florals are so perfectly curated! I love your tunics in particular. Finding a floral tunic that is right pattern, right length and right fabric is a HEWI for me. But I am seeing lots of floral skirts here. I am sure you would rock one.</p> <p>Grayscale. Hmm, Uniqlo. I will keep my eye out.</p> <p>Jenni, hi! Yes, I know what you mean but, as you say, it can't be helped. I do think there is a lot of commonality in the trends over the seasons (silhouette, colours, patterns etc), so that makes it's interesting.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1804914 Thu, 04 May 2017 00:04:05 +0000 Staysfit 1804914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your florals are lovely. I am a fan of florals, especially when they are abstract. This year I have mostly purchased floral accessories, but I also purchased a dress. The scarves have already seen lots of wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-every-day-and-in-every-possible-way/page/2#post-1804912 Wed, 03 May 2017 23:52:30 +0000 Dottie 1804912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!
