I was surprised in LJP's post that many responses said that florals are the hardest pattern to wear. To me they are the easiest and the pattern I'm most drawn to. I always feel like graphics are harder...stripes, polka dots, checks, plaid, etc. I have a few striped tops and one polka dot and I feel "okay" when I wear them, but not really fantastic. I feel really off in plaid and don't own any anymore. Somehow all those seem more cheery, or energetic, or upbeat than I often feel.

Food for thought. Suz said that people who like florals tend to like a specific kind. I do fall in the dark floral family. All of my florals are on a black or navy background, and they just hit me as really beautiful. Some are big and bold, and others are small, but they are all dark florals, and for me they feel more restful than energetic. I would have loved this top I ordered:

Sadly I had to return it. AllSaints used to do beautiful printing (silk screen, I'm not sure) but this was that rubbery feeling overlay that I can't tolerate. Sad decline in quality. But it is an example of the florals I love. Nothing sweet or shy about it, but still it feels soothing. (And sorry, Finds is still not working for me. Angie said it was fixed so I think the problem is on my end. Some privacy setting or such that I'm not aware of.)

Anyway, where do you fall? Are florals the hardest to wear or not?
