Hello Everyone!
Floral prints are my favorite and I was curious to see how many of the girls here feel the same way that I do so I created this poll. If it depends on the item..... vote based on your "gotta have it" item and let us know what it is. What gets your impulse buying drive going?
@augustvaliant I was never a fan of floral prints, until I tried one, now I love them. But my preference is for bright pretty colors together, not the muted ones that I’ve seen. When I first started buying clothes, I stayed away from floral prints because as a guy, I never wore anything like that. It was a strange revelation that floral prints are feminine, but why was I holding back in women’s clothes?
@jennconn I know that feeling! I started wearing panties 10 years ago. For a long time I only wore solid colors and a few non-floral prints. It felt like floral was taboo some how. One day I just sort of asked myself "if I am wearing panties why would I shy away from prettier floral ones?" I wasn't shying away from lace or silk or string bikinis or t-back thongs..... It was like a weird sense of guilt held me back. I just seemed to get over it.
@augustvaliant I currently own 2 panties with floral prints from Victoria’s Secret! They are definitely my favorite ones to wear 🙂!!

@jennconn my favorite guy shirts were called paisley. I had three I couldn’t get enough of. About as close to floral one could get back in the day.
@jillleanne Sometimes tastes change.... when I was a kid paisleys looked like Parameciums, the single cell creatures from science class. I remember a lot of pastel prints of paisleys back in the day and I wasn't big on pastels then either so paisleys didn't do anything for me. Fast forward over 20 years and when I was getting ready for work, I was always reaching for the paisley bandanas to put in my pocket as a handkerchief.
@augustvaliant flowers it is! And even without such a pattern I'd still go for a flowery color - see my fuchsia blouse 🌺
@astridt Hi, I too couldn't pass up your invite! Lovely pics and I agree the pink fuchsia colour is fantastic! Jane x
@scottyjane Thanks Jane, a nice compliment coming from a lady with a taste for colorful outfits herself, really like your (wife's) golden blouse 😍
@augustvaliant I am not a fan of floral prints l prefer solid colours like fuchsia, shocking pink red , bright colors
@augustvaliant I am definitely a fan of prints. My favorites are black and white prints, but I'll still wear a floral print. I prefer more subdued floral prints with a small pattern to the more bold floral prints with a large pattern. This is consistent with my dress to blend approach to being out and about.
For me, floral feels even more feminine regardless of the style. I'd choose floral first!
I've got a wide selection of dresses, and I guess there isn't really a pattern to them except that most are midi-length.
I shop for dresses in person, in-store. I never quite know what's going to 'grab' me until I see it ... and even then something will look amazing but feel unpleasant to the touch!

@augustvaliant There is something about a floral print that just screams feminine.Depending on the colors it can be accessorized in so many different ways.They are just fun and when paired with the right purse and shoes,O wow ,you have arrived,So enjoy them ladies.
@augustvaliant Floral prints are definitely my favorite too girlfriend 🥰!!

I'm a bit late to the party, Autumn, because there wasn't an 'all of the above' option.
But I was tempted to go for 'solid' as far as tops and blouses go because they are less challenging to incorporate in my day to day dressing.
Today I was looking in my wardrobe, and remembered this thread, so I started counting my floral tops.
One , two, three ...
OK, still 'all of the above' is my poll choice, but I've been reaccquainted with my floral collection 😆

@emmat I was curious to see how everyone would choose. I didn't actually restrict the poll to one choice so technically you should be able to vote for all three.
@emmat I wish I had a dollar for every d'oh moment I have ever had. I'd be making it rain!
@augustvaliant I am a big fan of floral prints, and flowers in general. The bright colors, the beautiful petals, they are just so pretty and it makes me want to borrow of some of that. I feel prettiest in flowers.
@augustvaliant I replied solid colour, because I think it suits me best, but I do also love floral printed dresses for summer. Limiting the choice to 1 is such a difficult challenge. Maybe we could suggest what we would give up to get a second and third choice. For me - lunch, chocolates, trips to the cinema, and most certainly purchase of boys clothes - all would be sacrificed for another dress or skirt or lingerie or heels.

Buy only one dress?
That is a hard choice to make
I want some skirts too!
Do haikus count as rallying calls for the cessation of restrictions of girlie shopping?

@augustvaliant ooohhh yes nothing I love more than a cute floral print , I'm 100% with you !! 🌈
@augustvaliant lately, I'm really into animal prints of all types...leopard, zebra, cheetah, snake, etc...and shades...brown, black/white, blue, etc...otherwise, darker solids also work...I do find florals very pretty but, sadly, just not for me...!!!
When I first started buying my own feminine clothing, almost everything was floral prints. I think it’s a look that’s not only beautiful, but also very feminine. Even to this day, most of the dresses and skirts I buy have floral prints.
I have to admit, years ago i would have said NO WAY to floral prints. Now I absolutely love them.
@augustvaliant So the only floral print I wear would be on on my panties. I have a bunch with of solid and print shirts ect. Something about a pair of floral panties is cutesy!!
@augustvaliant Love the topic as well as floral prints. One of my favorite looks is a floral mini sundress with spaghetti straps and sandals
@augustvaliant First of all, anything goes.
Most of my clothes need to fit my style, though, so they are solid colours. While I have a few prints (my selection above), I love the idea of floral patterns. Unfortunately, the only floral patterned top like that that I ever bought I couldn't wear because my arms wouldn't fit into the sleeves.
@harriette That's a shame. I hope you were able to return it and put the money towards something else.
Of course I voted for Floral!
Pretty much in everything, but especially in panties.
Typo in the topic..... good job me.....
An elegant floral dress is the most feminine desirable garment there is for me so an easy one to answer xx.
@chrisfp99 I have a limited wardrobe but my favorite dress is a pink flowers on a white background
@chrisfp99 possibly true, but nothing is as sexy as a solid colored dress, especially black or red.
@jjandme I suppose effect and aesthetic do come into play. I can understand the desire to look and feel sexy. For me it is about pretty. I want to look pretty and wear pretty things so for me that is floral.
@augustvaliant I agree, floral print can be very pretty, and that is great that is how you lile to look, and based on yoir pictures, you do pretty well. I am many years beyond pretty these days, if I ever was, but I like a more subtle sexy look.
I am many years beyond pretty these days
I must disagree. I have seen your photos. You are very pretty
I didn't vote because there are too many variables. I do not choose floral, prints or solids as a matter of routine, it just dep3nds on the item. I have foroal skirts and dresses, as well as solids. I do have a beautiful dress that has a snake skin pattern as well. I guess it all depends on the mood I am in.
@jjandme as I was making the post I knew that "depends on the item" was going to come up. I am going to make an edit. If you have to pick an item, what items is your "gotta have" ?
@jjandme HEY, JJ, I voted all 3. It depends on the style and what I am in the mood for at the moment. I have several floral prints and I love them.

For me, it is solid colours.
I had a few floral skirts but I tossed them all. It is all solid colours for tops/bottoms. Not sure why, floral print just doesn't do it for me.
@wendyswift Tossed them?!!?!? LOL. That is my initial reaction when anyone talks about throwing any of their lady clothes away.
I am curious. Would you consider your aesthetic to be casual, dressy casual, business, or sexy ?
I didn't vote either, mainly because, if I see something and "need" it, then I get it. However, I like all kinds of dresses and have solid colours, floral, and non floral prints.
@michaela2001 thanks for taking the time to respond.... so just play along. Imagine you have limited funds and find an item that strikes your fancy and you decide you gotta have it... what does it look like
@augustvaliant I actually have limited funds, so.... I want a new dress, I usually shop on the Walmart app and I window shopped for summer dresses. The first to pop up was light blue striped teeshirt dress. That would have been my pick if I had been able to get it. LOL
I liked the look of it, it's nothing I have worn before, so it would be a lovely addition to my wardrobe.
@michaela2001 February is almost over.... while it won't be warm enough, fast enough for me.... I could use a couple of nice floral sun dresses.... 😉
With a skirt being my chosen item, and with Spring on the horizon, I would go for a floral print design. Nothing beats a nice light floral print skirt when the weather is mild and the sun is out!
Flora prints are so feminine and so pretty!!!
I mostly underdress so count me in on floral panties. There's nothing more girly, except maybe black, red, pink...
Floral print is my difficult choice. When you mention Floral to some there are visions of what your mother or grandmother wore. These days the prints are really nice and balanced to a contemporary style they are both fashionable and can be enduring. One floral dress has bold roses on a black background which is truly vintage, at least forty years old. It was one of my first dresses in my stash when I lived at home and found after I left home by my mother and by then knew I was dressing so returned it to me. I wear it at least once a year and look after it well. It still gets compliments.
@augustvaliant I voted Floral, but it's by a slim margin for me. Florals are definitely an excellent spring/summer vibe. And clearly patterns and solids get paired - I wouldn't wear a floral top with differently floral skirt/pants. To wit:

I love my floral summer dresses and skirts when the weather is warm. They can be dressy in all kinds of footwear too. I also like my long skirts that go with any t top
Floral prints for me every time, most of my man shirts have Floral prints on them too, you can't beat a nice dress with flowers all over it there's something so feminine about a dress with flowers on it,

Another vote for floral to win by an even bigger landslide. Even some of my nicest VS bras are floral.. and a pair of leggings..
I have a lot of floral print dresses and skirts. Love them!
