Marimekko Floral Dress

 

I've loved Marimekko's designs since I was in college but their clothing can be a bit pricey. Luckily, Marimekko has done affordable collaborations with designers like Target and Uniqlo. A few years ago, Marimekko and Uniqlo did their first collaboration and I have been hooked ever since! I usually buy at least a couple of pieces from the collection that I always treasure because of the unique and innovative prints paired with comfy, easy to wear styles. As you can imagine, I was psyched when the email from Uniqlo popped up announcing that the latest Marimekko collaboration was now available in stores and online. I ended up getting two dresses, this floral print dress featured here and a polka dot dress that I will be featuring at a later date here on my blog.

 

As I previously mentioned, I love Marimekko because the prints are always unique and usually very colorful! Marimekko is a Finish design and textile house that made a name for itself in the 1960s because of its unique prints. I love that the dresses, such as this one, usually have a little bit of a groovy 60s feel! I also like that their clothing is always cut in such a practical and easy to wear way. I am not always very practical when it comes to my clothing choices, so it's nice to find a brand that can successfully combine style and comfort at an affordable price point!
