 The color of springtime is in the flowers; the color of winter is in the imagination.

 This year's Autumn/Winter collection boasts of florals transported straight from the feminine pastels of summer to the dark and edgy shades of winter!

"Flocked fabrics and lace overlays added an air of ornateness, putting a fresh spin on the idea of flowers in winter," explained Lucinda Chambers, Vogue fashion director. 

I name this trend in my favorite way- FROSTY FLORALS 

How to wear Frosty Florals?

The slouchy bag adds a casual appeal to the look

Contrasts play their best in this look accentuated with dark and light accents

There is absolutely no rule-book that says dark florals can't be worn a certain way.
The biggest advantage of dark florals is that they flatter every woman irrespective of her body type! Great news ,isn't it?
