FLORAL AMBITION

Florals are such a big hit and I have to admit that I fell in love with them months ago. Last year I got a pair of floral pants which had been on the sale rack for ages because everybody thought they were ugly but I loved them! I was not too sure about wearing them though because after my purchase I overheard a girl in the store telling her friend how ugly they were and how she would kill her friend if she ever caught her wearing something so hideous. Needless to say that kind of busted my bubble and I put them away for months, making a promise to myself that one day I would have the courage to wear them.

You can imagine my delight when floral pants became such a hit this year, I did not have to run around searching for them because I already had a great pair in my closet. A lot of bloggers have been wearing the floral pants lately and I have to give it to my girl Kani S whose style I am a big fan of for giving me great advice on how to rock floral pants. Thought it would be great to share what she said:
"I always choose a uni-coloured top/shirt/blouse to let the beauty of the floral pants shine out! You can never go wrong if you choose a top in the colour that dominates on your pants, for example: My pants have electric blue, orange and white dominating, so I would wear tops in one of those three colours. I would never mix such pants with some other prints (leo, stripes or dots,) because that's not really pretty to me and I would feel like a clown!"

So there you have it on how to rock floral pants. I have seen florals worn with other florals or other prints though and have loved it but it is quiet hard to pull off so I would rather stick to block colours! Here are some great looks I have seen so far with mine at the end:)

Kani S sure knows how to rock florals!

 Another winner from Kani S, donno which one I prefer!

 Tricia looks so cute in these colours, love the pop of red from the shoes.

Love this! The H&M pants are pretty popular and Nifesimi knows how to turn it up!

Loved the simplicity of this look and I actually got the inspiration for my outfit from her. Forgot to get a link though!

AND FINALLY...*DRUMROLL*...ME!!!

 Decided to keep it simple and go with a black vest and black blazer but did not want to be too boring so added a touch of brown with my shoes.
Thank you for reading!!
