Flores de Mayo

It's the first of May. And in the Philippines, May is known as the month of flowers. It's during this month that all the "sagalas" and "Flores de Mayos" happen.

In the western world, this also heralds the coming of spring. So, there's some simultaneous floral action going on between our two hemispheres. Proof of this? Most fast fashion brands are showing a lot of florals in their collections.

(No, I will not repeat the classic Miranda line...)

Case in point, this beautiful floral shirt dress from Zara.


It works well as a dress for our summer weather. But over there, they wear it as a tunic as a foil to the still-cold weather.


No matter how you wear it, this is a perfect piece to usher in the month of flowers.
