Designers have created a riotous sartorial garden this spring by splashing floral prints across every imaginable article of clothing and accessory. The trick to working this trend successfully into your wardrobe (i.e. without appearing too prim or too matronly) is balancing the overt femininity of the print with structured, substantive pieces. Resisting the urge to coordinate the other components of your outfit with the sweet colors in the print is also key. Opt instead to pair it with sophisticated neutrals or a stand-out stripe. And if wearing a floral blouse, denim, or dress is too much print for you, consider incorporating just a touch with a piece of jewelry or a scarf. Below are some outstanding options for those who want to dip their toes in the garden and those who choose to take the plunge:

Of course I love these things. Especially the tank and the crystal earrings.
The tank is not only gorgeous but versatile too. You can wear it under a blazer for work or tucked into a sexy pencil skirt for date night!
