Spring Trends: Skirts in Full Bloom

During a Sex and the City: The Movie reunion on Oprah last week, Sarah Jessica Parker looked positively lit from within wearing a bright floral frock. I think it's a sign that I need to buy something floral, too... that, and the fact that my neighborhood has literally come to life with an eruption of colorful spring flowers including dogwood, magnolia, crabapple, and cherry trees as well as flowering shrubs and bushes like forsythia, azalea and now, lilacs.

Of course, I know florals are huge for Spring, but it seems like lately, the entire universe is conspiring to make me take notice of this trend, take the plunge and actually buy something with a floral print - and it's working!

Forever 21 is in on the scheme as well with an incredible offering of unique, fresh takes on florals. I think I'll start with one (or two) of the skirts above. It's so simple to wear floral skirts, just pair with a solid tank or tee, strappy sandals and you're done. Summer, here we come.
