True Fashion for 2010: Florals

The last couple of seasons, regardless of the temperature outside, have included florals.

Florals in winter? Of course! Florals in spring? Double of course.

Take this feminine staple and mix it into your daily wardrobe for a lovely touch. You can wear pops of floral now under sweaters for a winter to spring transition look and later when it's warm enough to expose your legs again you can hop on the full skirt trend and rock a full, floral number like the ones worn on the runway by models in the Dennis Basso show (right). Pair this look with an oversized cardigan and a thin belt for a look that is right on par with what is hip now.

Don't forget the ultra hip floral blazer. Get an understated one like the one by DKNY or risk looking like the late, great Liberace. This look can go from cool to fool tres fast so proceed with caution. Take my advice and opt for a blazer that is of higher quality for a look that won't look grandma-ish.
