May Flowers

I'm terrible at keeping plants alive, so the only place flowers bloom around my house is in my closet.  Floral prints are so hot right now and can literally be found on every piece of clothing possible.  I love a fun print so I'm happy to be able to break out these items this season.

I have some floral print blouses and dresses, but haven't ventured into floral print pants or skirts yet.  I think they are both cute and can be dressed up with heels and a blazer or down with flats and a tee shirt.

One of my favorite floral print moments is Blair Waldorf's Alice + Olivia dress that she wears on Gossip Girl.  It's a quintessential Blair-style dress that epitomizes summer in the Hamptons. Here's an updated, similar version by the same designer.

Floral print dresses are easy to wear and make a statement when paired with very minimal accessories and a neutral shoe.
