Mama Style: Not Your Grandma’s Florals

Between doilies, rose bushes and large floral shirts, flower prints have a rep for being a hit with grandmas. But they’re also perfect for you and the kiddos too. Scroll through for a few examples of how to rock your own floral, and check out a sample outfit at the end.

Flower Child

This look adds length, a modern neckline (that’s great for breastfeeding) and a bit of shimmer to update these florals. Because the front zipper has a golden hue, I added gold necklace and shimmery gold belt. The jeans also have a bit of sparkle, while the brown shoes fit the modern twist on a classic look theme and hues.

A floral sweater in the warm hues (cream) can be added without making the outfit too busy as well, and still doesn’t look like a doily.

Now that I’m 30 I’m taking a fashion risk I never did before — mixing patterns. Usually I’d wear either a solid black or white shirt with these dotted pants, but this rose shirt is also a great match, making the look a bit more fun.

Shirts

• Black cami from Costco in a 2-pack for $10, but this maternity cami from Old Navy ($6 clearance) looks long enough
• Merona Black Floral Blouse ($25, only plus size online, more sizes in stores)

Pants

• Old Navy Pixie Mid-Rise Ankle Pants in Black and White Polka Dots ($30)

Shoes

• Crocs Hover Leather Loafer ($28, Amazon or $35, ebay)
• Crocs Norlin Slip-On ($50, Crocs.com)
