Flowers in Bloom!

How does that saying go....April showers bring May flowers!!  Well, it looks like designers and retailers alike are really making the saying come true.  Floral prints are everywhere!!!

Florals are a great way to brighten up your wardrobe, especially after wearing all of those dark colors during the winter.  It's a way to be feminine and romantic and ladylike and flirty all in one.

Let's start with dresses.  Floral dresses are everywhere and at every price point and style.  Vince Camuto, Shoshanna, Marc by Marc Jacobs and American Eagle Outfitters all have simple floral print dresses that range in price from $39.50 to $398.  Try pairing them with a cute flat sandal or a high heel wedge sandal.  Or try adding a wide leather belt.  These floral dresses are so much fun for day and night.

Now, how about jeans...yes, jeans!!  Floral feminine printed jeans are the hottest denim trend.  Denim lines like J Brand and Citizens of Humanity are showing this trend.  The style is skinny and tight, so wear an over sized top and hat with ballet flats or flat sandals.  So cute!!

Then there are the accessories!!  Purses, scarves and shoes!!!  If some of you are afraid to wear florals, a good way to try them is with an accessory.  Lovely People and Libby Edelman are showing floral print ballet flats that are $79.  A subtle way to add a floral print to your look.  Aldo Shoes has a floral faux leather chain strap clutch handbag for $40.  You can't beat that!  And of course, every store has floral scarves.  Go to one of your local boutiques to grab one of those and support small businesses.

So instead of buying flowers at your florist, go buy yourself some floral print clothes!!  They will last longer.

Enjoy your day!
