5 Floral-Inspired Summer Outfits Under $200 for Every Persona

Floral inspired outfit ideas for summer {on a budget!}
One of my favorite parts of summer is the beautiful blooms that come with the warmer weather. Flowers are coming into season not only in nature but also in your wardrobe, and the best part about flowers is that there are so many different ways to wear them. You can go out in full-on bloom, or you can downplay the look with just hints of petals here and there. Whether your style is sporty, chic or full-on femme, it’s absolutely easy to rock the floral trend this summer, especially with the floral-inspired outfits below, and better yet, the five looks below are all under $200!
