trend watch: SUBTLE FLORAL


Some floral prints can be overwhelming.  But there is a new trend of very simple and subtle florals that is perfect no matter what your style is.  These prints have a lot of solid background and just a few images spaced far apart.  This is a great way to ease into prints if you're not used to them and it is also a good type of print to mix and match with other prints!  You can get this look right now on Badjoan.com with the Otis and Maclain Tent Tank.  This tank has a loose A-line shape and a very subtle and neutral floral print that can go with so many things!
