Ah yes, as the [warmer weather approaches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splendid-srping-2025), so does a litany of [bright colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1) that will please all but me. But that is okay, especially when said fashions are from Rules by Mary, and they are featured in a photoshoot like this one.

I mean, if you are going to go for the 'grown-up cute' look, then you better go big. And Rules by Mary has certainly done that, with its collection of [lovely colors and prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta) that have butterflies on them. Can it get any cuter than that?
