Pretty Florals Make the Transition to Fall

Although I am in deep denial about this fact, sadly it is no less true: summer is quickly drawing to a close. I didn’t want to have to tell you that in case some of you were in deeper denial than even I, but I think it was time to rip off the band-aid. Soon our tans will fade and these wonderfully balmy nights will be but a distant memory. Most of our summer wardrobe will go into hibernation to make room for new fall and winter must haves and the weather will turn crisp and cool. Despite all this bad news though, we can rest assured that at the very least our flirty floral dresses will survive the seasonal shift. At Proenza Schouler’s Fall 2010 RTW runway show, black tops under floral dresses added both warmth and edge to a favorite summer staple. Be careful though, use of a turtleneck for this look has the potential to end up looking more dowdy and less chic.
