"The April showers have brought the May flowers...but what if you&amp;#x27;re already so bored by them that you wish it was fall already? Add some spice to the florals in your wardrobe this spring with three easy styling tricks, after the jump. #1: Pair your florals with...other florals. A hothouse floral print skirt may look pretty but predictable for a weekend afternoon, but add a rosebud-bedecked blouse on top, and suddenly things are in full bloom. The key to avoid looking like a clown? Choose one color that appears in both prints (or at least a similar color family, like two blues), and opt for prints with different sized florals so they don&amp;#x27;t compete.

We don&amp;#x27;t need to tell you dolls twice--nautical stripes are a huge trend this spring. But if you want to up the feminine factor, wear &amp;#x27;em with something unexpected, like a sweet floral skirt. Accessorize with a pair of neutral wedges (cork or raffia both look super-springy) and wooden or leather jewelry to help bring the whole look together. #3: Toughen up with military-inspired accent pieces. The biggest news on the runways this spring (and continuing into fall) is the military trend. Nothing takes the saccharine factor out of a frilly dress quite like combat boots and a cargo jacket! What do you dolls think of these new ways to wear your old florals? Which one is your favorite? Have you tried out any of these styling tricks yet? Or do you have a few of your own you want to share?
