trend watch: DARK FLORALS

Florals are not just for Spring! Bring a floral look into Fall by choosing a bold floral against a black background.... 

Tent Tank Top by Otis and Maclain - Retail $148 / Sale $39
Crop Tank Top by Otis and Maclain - Retail $130 / Sale $35

Emmanuelle Chriqui appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon in a black top with a bright yellow floral print.  She kept the look simple with a pair of trouser jeans and large hoops.  You can get a similar black and yellow floral right now on Badjoan.com with these silk tanks by Otis and Maclain!


Mae Button Dress by Otis and Maclain - Retail $195 / Sale $45

Fergie made her way through the airport in a sheer black dress with a bold floral print.  This type of piece is great in the summer as a dress and then when Fall rolls around you can wear this piece as a tunic over leggings or belt it and throw it over jeans!

I am LOVING dark florals! I almost bought a dark floral Ralph Lauren top last night...I actually should have bought that one rather than the green Michael Kors floral top I got XD (but that one was more on sale and my coupon worked with it too, so it was cheaper)
