This week’s post, my quarterly linkup with the Magnificent eight blogger group – the agreed-upon theme is a naturally inspired outfit reflecting a garden. I choose to wear a floral design representing flowers. Why? According to the 2020 Global Fashion Report, blues, orange, and florals are hot trends for warmer weather.
Understandably, the color blue is a top fashion spring summer trend. Why? The classic shade of blue is Pantone’s 2020 color of the year. Blue is one of those hues that evoke being positive, dreaming big, and enjoying every moment kind of tone.
Orange is one of the provocative attention-getter colors that, for me, bring feelings of joy, warmth, sunshine, and empowerment. Not everyone can pull off such a high saturation hue.
When I think of my style, floral prints and patterns are rarely a consideration. Although, my go-to print is a leopard, and I recently embraced wearing paisley.
I restyled the outfit I’m wearing with pants that made a great weekend escape to Miami last summer. This wide-leg pant is great for my curvy bottom: my orange bell-sleeved top, a great vibrant color to play dress-up this week.
I relish participating in blogger linkups because it encourages me to try something I wouldn’t normally wear. Remember me channeling the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel? Not such a hot trend! Nevertheless, the 1950s outfit from participation in the first quarter Magnificent eight vintage-inspired linkup.
We are showing that you can’t put a number on style! Let me introduce the ladies of The Magnificent 8:

The mission of this collaboration is to show you just how ageless style is, how we can see each dress however we’d like, and in ways that make us feel fabulous. There are no age restrictions on the game plan. So wear what you want, when you want, add a smile, and strut your style with confidence. And be sure to check out all 7 of these amazing gals!
My spring gardening starts every year with getting Boston ferns for my urns and decorating my window boxes in the front of my home. This year, I used Lowe’s App to order the ferns directly from the grower in Florida.
Continuing with the garden them, here’s my little perennial garden, we recently lost a massive oak tree that destroyed our patio and this area of our yard just getting back to normal.
We are all anxious to end this pause and back to a pre-pandemic way of life. For now, let’s enjoy springtime, how many perennials do you see blooming? Can you name them? Feel free to share the name of the three perennials in my garden via this Facebook post or using Disqus.
As always, thank you for reading. Stay safe, stay home, and stay healthy. Have a fabulous week.
