Backpacks
Who doesn't want a new backpack for the start of spring semester? Last semester's backpack is undoubtingly covered in coffee stains and dirt smudges, so why not upgrade and add some florals to your backpack? Herschel Supply Co. is always there to supply you with your floral backpack needs.

Skirts
A black floral skirt, turtleneck and thigh high boot is the cutest combination, no? It's the perfect balance between the spring and winter seasons.

Nails
If you have a fun night of dancing ahead of you, spice up your outfit with floral-printed nails. It's subtle, but it will certainly get you noticed.

Who doesn't love some retail therapy? And, the Doc certainly knows best. Cheer up yourself by wearing a pair of floral Dr. Martens.

Sweaters
This is the most obvious way to wear florals during the winter, but it's still a refreshing color choice in the sea of blacks, greys, reds and browns during winter. To keep warm, wear a beanie, scarf or boots.

Flowing Dresses

When goth and pink florals meet, the results are magical. A cute floral dress designed for the winter sounds like it wouldn't work. But lucky for us, it does.

Teacups
A cute design on your warm teacup is just too good to resist. The warm, cozy feeling of winter with a reminder that sunny days are ahead is an optimistic reminder while sipping your peppermint tea.
