Name that song! Barbara Streisand, the lovely Robert Redford, movie of the same name? Remember? The Way We Were. I didn’t love that movie. And, it has absolutely nothing to do with this post. Except the word watercolor. Which is the fabulous fabric print that has continued to grow in popularity this season.
Whether you call it impressionistic, a hazy floral, or an artsy floral this is the happenin’ print right now. Tops, dresses, bathing suits, shorts, even shoes are taking on art palette characteristics. Black, white and gray; pink, lavender, and cream; yellow, orange, and green; and many other combos can be used in these lovely watercolor prints. Pick one you like and “picture” yourself in a Claude Monet painting. Check out the examples below….
Ooooh… I love this blue/green combination. Such a simple design but set apart by the wonderful fabric. A yellow pump would be so great with this!

Oh my goodness, look at these unbelievable swirls in this maxi….it looks like a mixture of the ’60′s and ’70′s! Pick any color in the rainbow to accessorize with and it’s sure to be in this dress. Although note, no necklace which allows the neckline to shine. Painterly and pretty, more like gorgeous…I love it!

And this little pastel watercolor print scarf from J Crew is sure to put the icing on your Easter frock. Wear it whether there is a chill or not, it’s just that pretty.

Well, I thought I had a pair of shoes to show you but I couldn’t find them. But trust me, almost any item you want in this print you can find, and at all prices. Try something out in this lovely material and pretend you’re a subject in your favorite painting.
Remember, I’ll be seeing clients (I started to write patients….whew, too many doctor visits!) in May. Call if you’d like to be on the list. Can y’all see my watercolor font?? Thanks for reading…..
otherwise it might look like, as my son said “what peed on your dress?” So truthfully, I guess you could say I have been forced into my more mature, more spiritual way of looking at Easter because I am not buying anything new this weekend! Boy, I sound like a heathen.
