Fashion trends: Floral apparel makes the winter go away

Filed in archive Jackets , Shoes , Skirts , Trends on January 25, 2007

I always loved women who knew how to wear floral prints and embroidery; they always looked more feminine, subtle and nice. Also, roses on our skirts make us forget about rain, snow and wind outside and concentrate on spring which is hopefully soon to come.

So, once again, forget about your black, navy and gray suits and put something flowery on! Not only because it's fashionable, but because we are so sure of our professional success we don't have to power-dress.

	Floral jacket - Alberto Makali Appliqué Velvet Jacket is a simple way to try out the florals in your wardrobe. Velvet is the fabric of choice this winter, you can't go wrong. Available at Nordstrom for $99
	Floral skirt - BCBGMAXAZRIA mahogany floral chiffon skirt looks so great it would be a shame to wear it only to work. Imagine, just the perfect skirt for all the posh lunches you have to go to. Available at Bluefly for $84
	Floral set - Although I'm not a big fan of sets, this one looks great enough to get you over a 'nothing to wear day'. Love the color combo - minty green and brown. The cardigan can also be worn over something else - say a black tee. Available at JCPenny for $69
	Floral flats - Pretty Ballerinas always come up with the most exquisite designs, and these Princess lats are no different. If you don't want any florals on your clothing, how about a rose on your shoe? Available at Pretty Ballerinas for $99
