Floral Days & Floral Nights

Honest to God, what's more fabulous than floral print? Are you looking to spruce up your professional wardrobe or add a splash of refined color and sophistication to your favorite blue jeans?  Look no further than a structured and playful floral print jacket or coat.  

Where do you turn to find such a coveted treasure?  First, I'd try rumaging around your local thrift store.  You never know what kind of flashy finds you may find secondhand (and, you won't beat the price!)  If you'd rather skip the hunt, go straight to River Island -- they've got three styles that I'm crazy about.

Now, which to choose?

Pair this fancy floral coat with a pair of blue jeans, a cozy v-neck tee, a pair of kick-ass pointy toe heels, and finish the look with some simple stud earrings.  

Flower power!

The Flounce Skirt

When talking skirts, there are many styles which come to mind: a-line, mid length, pencil, peplum, maxi, pleated, bubble...etc. Add one to the list!  

The flounce skirt is a perfect blend of flirtatious and buttoned up all at the same time.  This skirt is a great transition piece from work wear to out on the town, or even a special event! 

The best part about replicating this look is playing around with the perfect graphic tee.  Want a super casual look?  Wear a kitty on your chest!  Looking to wear to the office?  A plain colored black, white or grey tee will do the trick.  This look is professional with a laid-back casual kick.

My guess is that the flounce skirt will only grow in popularity and would be a great investment piece for essentially any occasion!
