Although the phrase "hearts and flowers" has sometimes been used in English to denote extreme sentimentality in a negative sense, this week we at the VFG say, "What's wrong with wearing our hearts (and flowers) on our sleeves?" Whether lushly romantic, abstract, or tongue-in-cheek, florals and novelty heart prints remind us of the burgeoning new life of the spring season. Show us any and all floral and heart prints, especially in spring fabrics. Don't forget to include accessories and jewelry, like 1940s "sweetheart pins", other heart or flower shaped jewelry, printed scarves, neckties, etc.
