Must Have Mondays: Flower Power

By

Summer’s not over yet! Catch some rays and flounce around town with the season’s hottest florals. While the trend has been huge since spring, easy updates, from cut-off shorts to wedges, can make them more summer-appropriate. As with any other printed trend, let the piece stand on its own with a neutral or solid-colored pairing to keep the look young, girlie and fresh.

She's a die-hard Chicago sports fan, even though she's well aware the Cubs always end up in last place every year.
