Do flowers have a butterfly effect? Researchers believe so.

“We all know that moods are contagious, so it stands to reason that those who receive flowers are spreading that joy to others throughout the day. However, in the study where women received flowers at home, researchers noted that the gift was more likely to be placed in a community area of the home, such as a kitchen, dining room, or living room. This means that everyone in the household benefitted from the gift and had more positive emotions as well.” – source

To know me is to know I am obsessed with the blooming beauty of flowers. I take after my grandmother as her photo albums from Belgium to the state of Kentucky were stuffed with photos of every kind.

In recent years I’ve started to pull it into my personal clothing choices as it’s quite versatile with pigment and mood. I ran across this tank top on a lunch break this week because I needed some retail therapy to distract my mind for a few moments.

I love walking through stores to touch the fabric. If it’s soft, it’s an insta-hit. Lucky for me, I found a soft floral tank perfect for this summer and to layer with during the fall.

I found this gem at Anthropologie. It paired quite well with my paper-bag style shorts from Collections Boutique in Westport Village, and my go-to flats by Steve Madden.

Perfect for a bridal party, day on the town, and a drink with a friend as I wore it to all three this weekend in one day. Transitional style for the win!
