We’ve all know the phrase. Say it with me now. “Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking.”
But, tropes don’t have to be cliche. Spring is a time of growth, opening the windows and letting the air in after a long winter, and venturing out into the world with a fresh appreciation for all that is renewed in the world. What a time to revel! In fact, we want to throw a party, a garden party!
We are retail activists at the eShop, and opulence is our word for Spring. We will be donning our sequins frills and over the top florals in the face of adversity. This party is in honor of everyone who dares to defy. You are a retail activist too. Every dollar you spend goes towards our mission. Shine your brightest in your thrifted goods. Know that Spring will always come again, and that is something to celebrate.
Enough minimalism and monotones. Save those for the cold winter. This Spring we want bright and bold hues, sparkly detailing, and botanical bouquets enlivening our textiles. A new take on worn in blossoms is in the details. Mix your patterns. Embellish your daytime looks with sequins and stones. Most important, don’t forget your florals because nothing will ever say spring quite so well!
OVER THE TOP FLORALS
Florals in lace, florals in chiffon, and florals in jacquard, no matter how it is delivered this classic spring motif will never go out of style.
