Flower Fashions

Who says floral has to be sweet? This secy ruffled, chiffon floral print tank from XOXO will quickly become a wardrobe staple. Pair it with everything from dark jeans (as shown) for a night on the town to light denim for the day or a favorite pants suit and blazer for the office.

The XOXO ruffled chiffon tank is 100 percent polyester and available in small, medium and large.

To do floral jeans right, look for a slim fit; otherwise the pattern can be overwhelming and a darker color will be more slimming, too. These Citizens of Humanity Mandy Floral Jeans look cute rolled up with a pair or strappy sandals or wedges. Keep your top simple, like a crisp white blouse or beige crewneck.

The Citizens of Humanity Mandy Floral Jeans are 97 percent cotton and 3 percent lycra and are machine washable. The pants are available in sizes 24 to 32.

The flower power trend can be rocked from head to toe (just not all at once!). Sport these Blowfish Rulla Tea Lola floral wedges when you want to make a girlie statement without a lot of effort. The hibiscus-like flowers have a tropical feel. The upper is canvas with an adjustable buckle closure at ankle strap and cork platform wedge.

The Blowfish Rulla Tea Lola floral wedge is available in sizes 6 to 10 and in black, red and peach.

Proving that a flower print can be very grown up (but not old lady), this Joan floral sheath from the Mad Men collection at Banana Republic is sophisticated and lady like. With a cowl neck and cap sleeves, it's the perfect thing to wear to a bridal shower, Christening or a decadent lunch with the girls.

The Banana Republic Joan Floral Sheath is 67 percent rayon and 33 percent linen and is available in sizes 00 through 16.

These shorts are a modern twist on a traditional floral skirt. Wear these Aqua Printed Sateen Challis Floral shorts the same way you would a mini, with a solid top in black or a contrasting color. Take a cue from the model and pair them with a nude shoe to make your legs look extra long.

Aqua Printed Sateen Challis Floral shorts are 100 percent rayon in sizes small through large.

When you're shy about trying a trend, a handbag is generally the easiest way to go. Try this Kate Spade High Falls Melinda. The playful over-sized pink blooms are printed on grainy vinyl with matching trim with 14-karat light gold plated hardware. Because it's fabric, it would also make a great beach bag, too. It has two interior pockets.

The Kate Spade High Falls Melinda is also available in green and white stripes.

The classic Sperry Top-Sider got a preppy makeover courtesy of Milly. The canvas and leather shoe features a rose print to add a touch of floral flair to even your most casual outfits.

The Sperry Top-Sider Milly Authentic Original 2-Eye Loafer is available in sizes 6 through 10.
