Wear Spring colors NOW!

It's that time of year where you don't need to be buying the winter wardrobe any longer and it is just TOO COLD to be considering sun dresses. So, what to do? Well, firstly, this is also the time of year where you are going to find some amazing sales on the winter styles that will still be oh so cute next year. So, clear your schedule and mark your calendars for Flourish Boutique's Overstock Sale that is just a week and a half away!

Secondly, you should be looking for next seasons colors and how you can dress them NOW. Versatility, versatility, we looove versatility. So, how do we pick out some of next seasons hot colors and looks and wear them now in these frigid temperatures? 


Throw a cardigan over it!

One of the simplest ways to take a style that might not be in season and make it work is layering. Cardigans are made to keep you a little warmer while still showing off your tank underneath! The Damask print is one of our all time best selling designs, and now we have it in tank! This tank top just screams that it wants you to wear it to a summer concert in July. So, we buy it now and throw a cardigan over top to get a little more use out of it, and to show off your great style a season early :)

Depending on the fabric, we can even wear cardigans during the Spring. We have some gracing us with their presence currently that might be a tad chilly to wear right now, but light and refreshing to wear on those spring days that get a little warmer than you are anticipating. This sheer cardigan can be great to wear now with a long sleeve shirt underneath, and later with a coral or pastel color tank top come spring time! The floral design give this kimono its own "Spring" feel!

Fleece lined leggings!
 Mint is a color that is going to be hot, hot, hot this Spring season and we are not upset about that! So many mint dresses, so little time. But how can we wear this gorgeous color now without freezing our legs off? Fleece lined leggings, of course! We will wear them until you tell us to take them off! These leggings are SO comfortable and warm, which is exactly what we need right now. If you are obsessed with the mint dresses we have at Flourish currently and want to grab them before they are gone, then fleece lined leggings are your new best friend. Pair them with boots, and you have a look that you can wear today AND in a few months! Then, come April, take off those leggings and wear them with some cute cowboy boots to a spring wedding or out to brunch with your honey!

What To Wear: Bridal Shower Edition

Tis' the season for bridal showers and weddings galore! It's a great time of year to celebrate with family and friends, but it can be taxing on your closet. And that's only after you figure out which outfit to wear to which event. Don't fret, we're here to help! 

Showers, of any sort, can be held at a multitude of different locations and, often, the location will determine your attire for the day. And the last thing you want to be worrying about, when you should be enjoying your afternoon, is whether you're over or under dressed. Here is a little guide for three common shower venues.

Country Club: This type of rented venue is a common and beautiful location for showers. It can also be a little dressier than other venue types. If you're heading to an event at a country club, select something slightly more formal than a sundress, preferably with straps and don't forget a great pair of wedges or heels!

 


Maid of Honor/Bridesmaid's House: A shower located at someones house is typically a comfortable and relaxed environment. This is where a cute sundress would fit in perfectly. There is a good chance you may be sitting outside, so grab a cardigan just in case it's chilly. Plus, a cute pair of flats or dressy sandals will fit the bill.



Modern Restaurant: A fun modern restaurant is a great location for a more intimate gathering of friends. It also is a place where you can wear something with a little more personality. Being comfortable in what you're wearing is important, so whether that's a one shoulder dress or a skirt and top, a modern restaurant welcomes a variety of attire.

Color of the Season-- Mint!

It's pretty easy to spot the color of this season-- mint! All the other colors are turning shades of green after they see how much everyone is loving mint. And it's not just clothing, the peaceful hue is sneaking its way into our world in all different facets. From desserts to jewelry, even kitchen cabinets-- this springs biggest color trend is really making its mark. Just take a glance at Pinterest...you won't be disappointed!


The fashion world definitely hasn't minted out on the opportunity. You can find tops, cardigans, dresses and even jeans-- which are adorable-- in different styles and shades. One of mint's greatest features, is that it looks great, on basically, everyone who wears it. And we have a feeling that it will be around for a little while longer, so it's ok to spend some extra time and money looking for some lovely  mint staples to add to your wardrobe.

Here are some of our favorite pieces which are currently selling on the boutique floor! Be sure to check out the rest of the mint collection on our website.
