It might be a while yet until it's time to grab a glamorous sunhat and head to Cannes but there are some lovely transitional pieces around to layer up and wear through both the chillier and warmer months.

It may feel like we're lucky to be getting even a little sunshine thanks to the good old British weather and I really don't want to be wishing Summer away, but the shops are filling up with the most gorgeous Autumn/Winter clothes! I'm a firm believer that florals are not just for Summer so I'm always curious to see how they will be worked into the collections for the chillier months. Here are some richly warm-toned florals I've spied on the high street which will look gorgeous in the rays of the sun but also carry through to the crisp Autumnal months.

I'm inviting you all to join my virtual tea party and send me a link of yourself in your floral finest to be collected together in one major flower power blog post.
There are two shiny prizes involved. One goes to a most supremely floral outfit with the highest number of flowery things in. The other goes to my favourite outfit. I'll be picking out the prizes based on the winners' taste so that I can pick something they'll really enjoy wearing.

Whatever your style to enter you just need to put together an outfit with at least one flowery thing from a ring or corsage to a head to toe floral outfit and send a photo of it to me at intrinsicallyflorrie@yahoo.co.uk 

If you would like a link to your blog, website or social media profile included send that along too. Feel free to include a couple of sentences on your outfit and I'd love to know your favourite flower! Please get your entries in to me for just under a fortnight's time at noon UK time on Friday 13th July so I can get them up the next day.
I'll also be contacting the previous winners to see how they are championing the floral cause in a separate post beforehand, in the meantime here are some links for a dose of floral inspiration and I can't wait to see your entries!
