What do you guys think of this floral?

Kirti

I own no florals so I don't know if I can judge them! I just randomly found this while browsing on hubs' phone. Is it too twee? Dated? Ugly? I like the soft colours - it feels kind of springy.

I think it is very soft and pretty and I really like the banding on the skirt!

I think it's pretty, Kirti, but it seems a little washed-out looking for you, IMO. I think you'd look great in a more vivid floral. I do like the style of the skirt.

I like the print, but I'm with Parsley; I'm not sure I've seen you in anything but bold, vibrant colors. Do you wear muted shades like this?

it is very pretty, I am not sure how well it would play with your saturated hues either... But it might?

You need a bright floral skirt or pants to go with your red denim jacket and the other brights you have. It's pretty but keep on the hunt.

Thanks ladies, you all make sense - I wear mostly brights and this probably wouldn't fit into my current wardrobe!

It's very pretty, and of course the softer colours are a change from your usual saturated palette --- but then you're not wearing it against your face; you'd still have a blue or orange t-shirt on top, probably? Or a white button-down or chambray shirt with your orange-red beads? And a pair of colour-blocked loafers below maybe, echoing the colours of the flowers in a stronger way?

So really depends on how far you want to stray from your saturation point! This could be a pretty dressy look for you, if you wanted.

I think it is very soft and pretty and that it's refreshing to see and wear something that's not bold and aggressively colored on occasion, to buck the current trend, but like Manidipa wrote, it depends on how you feel and if this type of soft and muted palette works for you and makes you feel stylish and confident. I think it is a lovely floral, not dated, twee or ugly. I see it with a tank top and washed denim jacket or pastel denim jacket.
