I’ve alway loved the idea of wearing a coat as a dress, so when I saw this coat, which is made just like a dress with the pretty print, cinched waist and flared skirt, how could I resist?

It’s hard to style floral pieces fresh, modern and young, the key is accessories. Here, Olivia Palermo added an expected touch with another floral print. Her trendy sunglasses and minimalist clutch and jewelry elevated the whole look.

In Chinese: 把大衣当裙子穿，总是别有一番风味。这件大衣有着裙装所具有的一切：漂亮的印花、收紧的腰线以及A形的裙摆，却又不失风衣的率性。印花搭配不好很容易显俗气，除了选择当季的布料外，配件非常重要。比如今天的这个造型，奥利维亚·巴勒莫利用鞋子混搭了两种不同的花朵图案，当下最流行的迪奥的太阳镜以及简洁的手包和配饰也使整身造型不落俗套。

Thinking of what to wear on your coming weekend date? Look no further than Miranda Kerr. This style maven knows her assets well and hasn’t strayed from what suits her best. For casual off-duty looks, she often chooses structured blazers, skinny jeans and comfy flats. When dressing up, more often than not, you will see her in body-hugging dresses paired with sleek pumps and her signature red lip.

In Chinese: 如果你周末有约会，正烦恼穿什么，米兰达·可儿(Miranda Kerr)的这几个造型你一定不要错过。聪明的她清楚自己的身材优点，无论潮流怎么变，她总会巧妙地坚持最能展现身型的搭配。休闲的场合，她最常穿的是西装外套加上紧身牛仔裤和舒适的平底鞋。需要精心打扮的时候，你多半会看到她选择像这两个造型里看到的包身窄裙，配上简约的尖头高跟鞋和她标志性的红唇。

Modernize Your Floral Dress

Floral prints are as classic as stripes and polka dots. They have been embraced by people of all ages (from teenage girls to their grandmas). Since some floral patterns do have the potential to make us look tacky, I always look for those with a retro flare and a sophisticated color palette, like the two featured below. Then use modern and edgy accessories to add urban chicness to the look. The on-trend birkenstock, mesh booties, streamlined bag and cat-eye sunglasses seen on today’s featured stars are the best illustrations.

In Chinese: 花朵是和条纹、圆点一样经典的图案，而且老少皆宜。但是花朵穿不好容易显得俗气。我个人喜欢寻找那些色调淡雅的有复古风情的印花单品，比如下面看到的这两条裙子，搭配上有现代感的元素形成冲突。今天的这两位偶像身上看到的勃肯鞋、网纱踝靴、简约的两用包以及猫眼太阳镜等就是这种混搭的最好诠释。
