Ditsy Blooms

As Spring is in the air and tiny buds are appearing it’s time to unveil a hint of growth, sprigs more than full grown blooms. At this time of year I bring out my Guess cotton shirt, with its delicate ditsy blooms. Small detailed prints have a vintage feel, perfect for now and less showy than big and bold which will be perfect for high summer.

And of course, Boden, always has softly printed shirts in the collection, in light weight cottons ideal for layering under knitwear too.

I hope you enjoy the obvious flowering similes, it seemed like a good idea! (Not so sure now!)

Here’s hoping Spring stays close by.
