Get The Look: Flower Power

It seems like every time spring rolls around, I start seeing floral prints everywhere. I suppose it's because after a fall and winter full of dark neutrals, everyone is ready to pull out their sundresses and floral prints just make you think spring, don't they?

I'm not typically one to wear floral prints, in fact I don't think I own one single item (actually I checked last night and I have 2 things, but haven't worn either yet!), but I did find some cute pieces while searching for this post and might have to make a purchase soon. Hopefully one of these items (all under $100) will help bring you out of your winter funk and start thinking spring! Just click on any of the photos to purchase/view.

Gap Mini Floral Henley Tank - $49.50
I think this tank would be adorable under a cardigan for now, and on it's own once the warmer temperatures hit.


Eight Sixty Mixed Print tank - $58
I love the bold print on this tank, as well as the color combination used.


Free People Easy Breezy Sequined Floral Print tank - $68
The colors used in this tank make me think of a tropical vacation.


Silence & Noise Floral Back Zip Tank - $28
The exposed zipper down the back of this tank gives a little edge to a girly print.


Yumi Kim Dixie Top - On sale for $48
I love everything about this tank, the print, the colors, the ruffle. Adorable.


Forever 21 Floral Ruffle Tunic - $29.80
This tunic style top from Forever 21 might even work as a dress if you're on the short side, if not pair it with leggings (or jeggings) and some flats.


Mimi Chica Challis Dress - $44
This Parker inspired dress was featured on the blog before, and I still adore it. Comes in a few other floral prints as well.


Kimchi Blue Mermaid Poplin Dress - $58
This fitted dress has a mermaid hem which gives it a little something special.


American Rag Dress - $49
I love the vintage vibe of this sweet floral dress.


Free People Mary's Garden Dress - $88
I tend to gravitate toward this style of dress in the summer, and I love the floral skirt and the colors on this Free People version.


Urban Renewal Floral Chiffon Peplum Tube Dress - $58
I love how they styled this tube dress with a belt, but it also looks great on it's own (comes in two other floral prints).


Aerie Floral Ruffle Dress - $29.50
Super girlie print and ruffle detailing, and also completely affordable.


Alloy Floral Print Dress - $49.90
Another tank style dress at a reasonable price!


Rose Floral Print Scarf - $8.50
This pretty scarf will give your outfit just a hint of flower power (great for someone easing into the floral print - like me!).


Floral Printed Fringe Scarf - $18
This scarf was featured as part of Carrin's travel look on last week's Style Me Saturday post. I love how this looks with a simple tunic, cardigan, and leggings but it would look great with a ton of outfits.


French Connection Bikini - $17 for each piece (total $34)
I think the print on this bikini is super cute, and I love that it's also affordable. It comes in white too if you prefer a lighter color.
