I'm not usually a floral print type of girl--give me blacks and grays any day--but I guess the combination of rainy April weather and warm temperatures is making me feel more princess than witch.

Since that particular vision has not yet come to fruition, I figured I'd better think of some other way to wear it.
Pairing it with neutrals and muted shades works,
