Dutch Florals

I’m loving the Dutch floral trend that I’ve seen cropped up in fashion this season. The prints are inspired by one of my favorite 17th century Dutch still-life painters, Rachel Ruysch. Her saturated floral still-lifes are meticulously painted, often on a rich, dark background. This moody atmosphere is what makes this such a beautiful trend for the Autumn and Winter.

  1. Swoon, I am totally with you on that and I’d love to get a sassy Dutch floral skirt before the Holidays. It would make a fantastic party-season uniform, don’t you think? 🙂 Hope you are having a lovely week so far, sweetie.

    • Diana, that’s a fabulous idea for a party-season uniform! Love it!!! Mix it with a cozy sweater, tights and some heels and you are all set! 🙂 Having a really lovely week! Hope you are feeling better and also having a wonderful week, my dear! xo
