whether its bold tropical prints or giant sunflowers or tiny flowers, all floral prints are welcome this season. this season, it is not about being girly. these prints are bold, abstract, sophisticated, and yes, pretty. you can take this look head-to-toe or just add a touch in your accessories. seeing as this print seems to stay around, this is a money saving trend. there is a good chance you have some already in your closet. if you are buying new, buy them in a classic silhouette or a print you won't get tired of so you are able to keep them around much longer.

where to buy now:

last year when we first saw this shoe shape appear, most were a little apprehensive. they were a bit of a reminder of some of those choice fashion trends of the 90s. this year, however, the shapes are a little less extreme. they are coming in different heights and maybe a little less flat. 

hey, if you are one who hates heels, these are prefect for you. you can still get height without a scary heel.
