Here are a few ideas to rock florals 

There are so many fantastic ways to rock the floral trend! Personally, floral is my go-to for any occasion. It's girly and feminine, but can also be dressed up with an edgy vibe, floral is the perfect trend to rock. Do you love to wear floral? Check out some of my favorite ways to rock the floral trend and look absolutely fab! 

1. FLARED PANTS



I don't think I could pull these off but I'm actually obsessed with this look. I think flared pants are awesome - I'm just more of a "skinny jeans" type of girl. To recreate this look, pick out a fun floral-printed pair of flared pants and pair it with a cute crop top! I'm loving this white one - it complements the pants really well without having the outfit look too overwhelming. These flared pants are just one of the cute ways to rock the floral trend.

2. OLEKU

 Yes yes yes, oleku, iro and bubba has been here since the days of our fore fathers, thanks to modern fashion it has evolved into a more stylish trend and young ladies who wouldn't be caught tying wrappers are now enjoying the trend, and yes you could rock it in floral too... I snatched this pic off Instagram, I didn't crop it so you could also follow the fabulous lady rocking it. It's adorable


3. OVERALLS


Overalls are soooo in right now! I'm loving these floral printed overalls (similar ones can be found onforever21.com). They just scream out spring time and are perfect for running errands or just hanging out with your friends. You can pair them with a simple black or white top, or if you're feeling bold, layer them over another pattern - like this striped tee!

4. MATCHING SET



I'm in love with this look! To recreate it, find matching set of shorts + crop top. The floral pattern is perfect for the spring! Don't forget to add your oversized sunglasses. That'll take your outfit to the next level. Could be worn to the beach...

5. DRESSES


Floral dresses tend to look flirty and fun every time, best part is you don't even need a pair of heels sandals to look chic, flat shoes still work for these


6. SKIRT

This look is adorable. To recreate it, pair your floral-printed skirt with a cute crop top, a shirt or even a graphic tee! It'll give you a fun spring vibe that you can rock anywhere. I love the sunglasses, Such a cute detail!

For A Busy Life - What She Wore in 1955

McCall's Magazine had advice for the gal in 1955. "For a busy life at home or in the office, what looks freshest and takes the least care? The answer: summer suits and dresses of synthetic fibers, alone or combined with natural fibers."

Eleven Busiest Models of 1955

The April 1955 cover featured eleven of the most popular models of the day. How many can you name?
 

Use Your Maid's Old Uniform

In 1943 a lot of the sewing books focused on renovating and remaking, using what you already had to make what you needed. For this School Girl's dress it is suggested that you use a flowered cotton house dress and from a plain blue cotton "that was once a part of a maid's uniform."
If you didn't happen to have an old maid's uniform laying around they also say you could check your scrapbag. "Odd scraps of colorful fabric are combined with great success."


Make Warm Knee Caps for Our Soldier Boys

From 'Plain and Fancy Needlework', November 1917, this pattern shows how to crochet Knee Caps. They only take one half hank Germantown knitting yarn, and a No. 3 1/2 hook. And I'm sure the soldier boys will appreciate them! 

Directions
Chain 41, double crochet, always taking the back loop; 8 rows even.
9th Row - 17 stitches, 2 stitches in next stitch, 4 stitches, 2 in next stitch, 17 stitches.
10th Row - No increasing.
Repeat 9th and 10th rows until there are 27 rows. Then work 12 rows without increasing.
Then decrease in the way you increased until work matches first half. Sew up with yarn.

"If you have no one in particular to give them to, send them to the National Surgical Dressings Committee of America, 845 First National Bank Building, Chicago, Ill."

It's 1967 - Let's Wear Paper Dresses!

The Paper Caper - 1967 Paper Dresses

You can't clean them, but you can snip off the dirty parts.

"The Duchess of Windsor has worn it. Joan Kennedy, wife of the senior senator from Massachusetts, worn paper to a fund raising tea she gave last spring and passed out duplicate dresses to her celebrated guests. Pop painter Robert Rauschenberg has a tailored suit of grocery-bag paper. Princess Lee Radziwill owns a gold quilted mini-mini with gold collar and gold side panels to match her newly gold hair. Jolie Gabor lunches in paper after swimming in her pool. A number of brides have worn it to their own weddings. In the south of France a concert pianist beat the heat by wearing a paper dinner jacket designed by Paris couturier Pierre Cardin, after scissoring off the sleeves so they wouldn't get in the way of the keyboard."


If you wanted to get your very own you could check with Scott Paper Co. - two styles at $1.25 each to promote their toilet paper. You could send for paper dresses if you bought Johnston Frozen Pies, or sent two butter wrappers to the American Dairy Association. A Go-Go Light hair lightener box top plus $1.25 could get you two mini-skirted mod-styled paper dresses from the Breck shampoo people..." Air India offered a mail-order sari ("Be the first princess in the palace to own one").
 Lever Brothers offered a fireproofed "Swinging Dress" in three vibrant colors with matching hat for $1.00 plus two Dove, Lux or Lifebuoy soap wrappers. 

No need to worry about that rattling noise when you walk. Fashion expert Eugenia Sheppard thinks it's the most fun since taffeta.

The live paper doll above wears paper bracelets and a metalized paper 'lame' handkerchief evening dress by Elisa Daggs ($12.00) The wig is made of Aluminum foil.
Dressed like a party snapper, tomorrow's hostess may entertain with paper items such as these exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts.
The bikini, made of polycoated Kaycel, costs $4 and is usually a throwaway after four dips.
The slicker of polycoated Lexon ($8) is good for two dozen outings.
Paper haute couture includes a wiggy mini, a key-tag and Green Stamp shift, an 'ermine' cape, informal and glittery evening dress, colorful at-home slippers.
