Flower Power

Spring is in full bloom - literally along the driveways and more importantly all over the runways! Now florals for the spring can't quite be called a trend - can you remember a time when floral prints weren't key for spring fashion? I can't. It's like Meryl Streep's character, Miranda Priestly, says in The Devil Wears Prada, "Florals...for springtime...how original." She's right, but it doesn't negate the fact that floral prints are really important for this spring.

Now, here's the problem with florals...if they are not a modern print, it can tend to look old-fashioned and out-of-date. So, be sure to keep the prints fresh and bright so you don't look like you're wearing your grandmother's drapes. Also, at a certain age, you shouldn't wear floral pants or skirts. This too can be a bit too much. Stick to floral tops and dresses.

Now, if you are like me, wearing florals may not be your favorite thing. So, the best way to get a little bit into your wardrobe is wearing a floral scarf or floral shoes. Or, pair down a floral top with jeans.

Whatever you decide, jump into the flower power and embrace the florals!
