A soft floral printed dress, like this belted dress from Forever 21, can be worn with a light colored cardigan, flats, and soft curls for a very sweet ensemble. But add some stockings, military boots, and eye liner, and all of a sudden you're Little Miss Grunge-Shine, à la Angela Chase.
Who said florals are for kids? Throw on this gorgeous sparkle necklace from J. Crew, and you'll dazzle even Edward Cullen. It would look great with a crisp white blouse and pencil skirt for some major style at work, or with your trusty LBD to make a major statement out on the town.
We consider this dress to be our Dream Dress, as both of us separately fell in love with it on Mod Cloth and are still dreaming of excuses to purchase it. The soft floral print, lovely pastel colors, and perfect vintage style fit is exactly what we dream of in a springtime dress. The only downside is the price, but if you have an event in mind to wear this too, then there should be no stopping you.
The wonderful thing about Target is that they tend to have the cutest shoes and accessories, even if for only a limited time. These floral flats by Xhiliration are one of the cutest shoes we've seen at Target for a while, so make haste and grab yourself a pair before they're out of stock. Saira's already invested in a pair, and for $19.99, so should you.
This floral skirt from Top Shop is so Kelly Kapowski, and we love it. While we don't suggest wearing this with a giant scrunchie, rolled down socks, and keds, we do think this would look great with nude colored peeptoes and a racer back tank, with maybe a long necklace to complete the ensemble.
Crossover bags are very in right now, and we can see why. They're a nice change of pace from our oversized bags that can be used as a miniature weapon, resulting in an accessory that has both form and function. If you plan on traveling this spring, or just don't want to feel weighed down, then go for this tapestry crossbody bag by Ecote. It's just the right size to fit your cell phone, camera, lip gloss, and a pack of tissues (if you have nerdy allergies), and has a rustic tapestry print that is perfect for the spring.
A floral, flowing mini is pretty much our go to outfit for warm weather. Just wear a plain tee or tank, and you're ready to go. Delia's has a few nice choices, just remember to go for a size up because we're no longer 16! Forever 21 is also a great place to look, as they have a number of different prints and colors available, the majority of them for less than $20 a pop!
Just because you're stuck indoors all day doesn't mean you don't appreciate seasons! For your work wardrobe, incorporate florals with a simple patterned cardigan. This would look lovely with a pencil or full 50's style skirt and is seasonal but subdued, perfect for a stodgy office.
Spring is in bloom!
XOXO,
Jen & Saira
