Flowers are blooming

And we’re not just talking dainty small pattern florals, although you can still find plenty of those. Designers are using flowers and botanicals in bold, graphic interpretations. A search for “floral dresses” on Neiman Marcus’ website yielded more than 100 items. Escada’s gorgeous silk floral print dress ($1,790) is anything but demure. Neither is this Blugirl floral print jacket and dress($1,905) or this Michael Kors brushstroke floral print silk dress ($2,992) in black and white. If you need to accommodate your runway tastes on a reality budget, Ann Taylor is well stocked with graphic florals, including this black and white silhouette floral sweater dress ($148), this pintuck floral dress ($148) in blue and white and this Georgia O’Keefe inspired poppy print silk dress ($148, pictured at left). Francesca’s has a number of affordable florals including the Marion rose tunic ($46), the floral nouveau sundress ($48) and the rosette detailed Juliet dress ($52) available in grey, peach or white. Flowers are not just blossoming on clothing. Floral themes abound in jewelry – rings, pendants and earrings – footwear and accessories.
