Every new season comes with its own special charm, and what better way to celebrate the imminent arrival of fresh, fun, beautiful spring than with a strong shot of floral prints and luscious color? Not many mere suggestions can excite us the way the thought of warmer weather and perfect style do. Don't wait to grab a few of the season's best for yourself.

This strapless floral dress is flirty and fun all by itself, but with the perfect peach bag and the shimmer of a silver necklace, even an ordinary day becomes a special one.


A little more conservative look on the agenda? Don't worry, that doesn't mean you can't twist the old by adding some new, does it? An asymmetrical collar on the crisp white shirt and a floral print on the fitted skirt are just right.


Maybe the temperatures are still a little chilly, but that doesn't mean the colors are too. A bright lemon cardigan adds zest to your favorite jeans.


How about the little red dress for color and a neutral leopard cardigan just for the fun of it?


The soft blue chambray shirt has always been one of our favorite looks, so who could resist this one? Paired with a full, studded skirt, our old standby steps up with a whole new look.


Every girl needs a peasant dress, and this floral one will dress up or down, day or night.

Denim leggings are showing up everywhere as an alternative to the not-as-comfortable skinny jeans. Pair yours with a tiered floral top and a gold necklace for a look sure to signal a good time.All photos JOSH NORRIS/Staff
