Florrie's Floral Festivities 2012- The Outfits

Having already shown you how the previous winners are working florals in 2012, I am absolutely delighted to show you this year's entries! They certainly put a smile on my face and showcase such a wonderful variety of floral concoctions, with each outfit being amazing in its own way. So without further ado here they are...

Sacramento of Mis Papelicos

Always a ray of sunshine, Sacramento uses a magnificently vibrant and cheerful colour scheme with lovely prints pulled together by key colours.

Kim of What Peggy Said

One of her favourite dresses, Kim's lovely floral print is an ASDA find. The print is classic and wearable but here she's juxtaposed it with fun nautical stripes for a strong pattern mixing look. Like myself, Kim likes spying the happy sight of poppy flowers when Summer arrives.

Mia of Mia Moore

With an addiction to blue floral dresses, here Mia shows off a fresh take on denim in a crisp mint shade with her sweet floral top, perfectly finished off with classic refined pearls and a ladylike cardigan.

Sophie of Country Girl Does Norfolk

Sophie has compiled a magnificently floral outfit, reminding her of her twelve year old self's manner of layering many garments at a time for a truly intriguing effect. There's such a delightful array of textures and patterns in her outfit, but a limited colour palette brings it all together. Her favourite flower is the beautiful lily.

Petrina of Lolita and the City

Petrina's much loved Betsey Johnson dress comes in a fabulous bold print, and as she says Betsey Johnson things are perfect for capturing a little lolita fashion aesthetic without buying from a Japanese brand. Her scarf and cardigan contain pretty but subtle floral embellishment for an elegant look. We share the same favourite flower in the beautiful hydrangea with its entrancing ombre-like colours.

Hazel of World of Joy

Oh what a beautiful setting Hazel has chosen for her floral photograph! It's perfect for both her gloriously colourful outfit and daydreams of Summer days. Her dress is a clever Ebay find which she altered herself to make just right. She included several pieces of floral jewellery, including some featuring her favourite flower the daisy, but it all fits so perfectly together for an effortless look!

Chrissii of Chri Chan

Chrissii here looks incredibly pretty in pink for a romantic look. Working around her beautiful LizLisa dress she pulls off an elegant look in the girliest of colours. I especially like the clever stacking of hair accessories. Her favourite flower is the calla lily.

Kezzie of KezzieAG

Kezzie's outfit has a wonderfully glamorous, vintage feel to it. The cheerful print of her Peter Pan collar top harks to her favourite flower, the ox-eye daisy, which she loves to spot on the roadside brightening up the ugliest traffic jam. 

Perdita of Perdita's Pursuits

There is such a wonderful contrast of colour, pattern and texture within Perdita's vibrant vintage dress which she wore to The Chap Olympiad. The stripes and ditsy flower print go so well together and the neckline and shoulder details are really delightful. I love how perfectly it compliments her hair too! Photograph by Margaret.

Victoria of Victoria's Vintage
Victoria looks incredibly sweet in her softly hanging feminine frock with beautiful frill details, and perfectly matched even to her toe nails!

Charlotte of t*rexes and tiaras 

Char has picked two gorgeous floral pieces in their own right but together her dress and skirt look so incredibly wonderful together! Finished with a pair of gorgeous heels, ladylike Char looks ready and poised for a whimsical tea party.

Joanna of Dividing Moments

Joanna looks so incredibly pretty in her pink and white ensemble. Her charming rose patterned skirt actually reminds me of classic lolita ones and her exquisite vintage necklace and bracelet date back to the 1950s, the perfect era for this polished ensemble! Of course I'm also coveting her darling Luella bag complete with delicate scalloped trim!

Rosie of A Pocketful of Rosie

Rosie looks absolutely fabulous in this sophisticated dress which she wore for her birthday. The print is so beautiful and I think the bow detail on the back is very pretty too. It's perfect for special occasions, but Rosie can't stop wearing it and I can't say I blame her!

@cLare_beaR_

To mark the Floral Festivities @cLare_beaR_ put together this vivacious collage of floral details which is so very cheerful. Her favourite flowers are cheerful gerberas.

Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I hope you've all enjoyed looking at the entries as much as I have! However gloomy the weather is, florals can always brighten up my day and I've been sent such lovely outfits!
This year we had two supremely floral outfits competing for the highest number of flowery things. Sophie is to be applauded for a lovely layered look comprising of 13 beautiful floral things, showing true dedication to the floral cause. However Kezzie, counting her two matching hair clips as one, used an impressive 16 floral things in her outfit from the flowers on her shoes to those wrapped round her jaunty little hat, making her this year's very deserving winner of the prize for most floral things in an outfit!
Choosing the other winner has been a very tough choice when faced with so many striking entries! However, we do have a winner whose outfit I am especially enamoured with and that person is Chrissi with her beguiling pink look, lovely mix of textures and clever accessory styling.


Each entrant has a wonderful sense of style and whilst I hand round virtual tea and cake I highly recommend exploring their blogs to find even more lovely outfits.
