Top: Alice and Olivia | Skirt: Alice and Olivia | Shoes: (similar here) | Bag: JW Anderson
Since summer is in full swing, it means flowers are in full bloom. And I’m not just talking about going to the local park or the nearest nature reserve to catch a glimpse of the bursting buds. Floral patterns envelope what summer is all about –illumination, organic ambiances, and feminine frills.
For this look, I’m pairing my floral patterned top by Alice and Olivia with a matching print skirt to show you the endless possibilities of floral pieces. Together these pieces form a chic dress and I know that as separates they will work wonderfully with other basics in my wardrobe. For example, I would pair a cami with the skirt, and maybe black skinny jeans with the top!
If you haven’t noticed, floral tops are everywhere –and they go with everything. Don’t take my word for it, try out this latest trend yourself, but before you do read my suggestions of which tops will suit you best.

Body suits in dark florals are super sexy. T-shirts in dark florals are edgy, casual, and intense. Button-ups in dark florals are as good as this trend gets. Have fun pairing the dark floral top with black leggings, high-waisted medium blue denim, and navy skirts.
