This season, the flower prints come in eye-catching pinks, bright blues, yellows and adorable fresh greens.

Think about the colour schemes that complement you, wear floral prints with complementing plain opposites. When wearing a floral top match it with a one-colour dress and a bag (or another accessory).

Another adorable new arrival is the flower print versatile skirt in a variety of designs, a large or small print, in an assortment of colours, they can be paired up with any plain tank-top or a shirt.
