Spring Awakening: Smell the Roses

"As for man-his days are like grass; like a flower of the field, so does he sprout." - Tehillim 103:15

The connection between the Hebrew word for happy, sameach, and flower, tzemach, can teach us something about how our feelings can be influenced by objects in nature. Conversely, we can learn  how objects in nature can be influenced by our feelings. In the days (sometimes weeks) leading up to steady Spring weather I always encourage incorporating Spring-like items into the wardrobe. If we start to dress for Spring, welcoming the warmer climate and blossoming trees, they might be more inclined to make an earlier appearance. Like usual, floral prints are timeless pieces to integrate into your Spring wardrobe. 

Look around you and you will see floral prints popping up everywhere you turn. Enjoy this classic look, and don't forget to smell the roses!

for the Bold and Daring ladies... One of my favorite variations on the floral print is mixing it in with another print. Stripes in particular. Also, animal print, polka dots, gingham, or any other abstract print could be mix and matched. Careful not to overdo it! I'm not a fan of the matchy matchy look, so don't stress if the secondary print has a different color scheme




Push my Buttons just a little bit...If you are not the floral print type, or for that matter not into any print at all...start slowly by incorporating hints of floral into your look, like with a scarf, hair piece, jewelry, or shoe. Try it out! wearing a monotone outfit, all black or all white (different shades of one color is okay) and a touch of a floral accessory will  spruce up your style and your mood!
