Dare to Wear: All-Over Florals Like Blake Lively

Traffic will stop—trust us

Spring has sprung early in New York City—thanks to Blake Lively.

The actress brought her floral A-game to the streets of NYFW when she stepped out in an ultra-feminine poppy-covered maxi dress. Her Lennon-inspired sunglasses added a bohemian element to the outfit while her pumps and chain link bag gave off major edge. Serena van der Woodsen, is that you?

The beauty of wearing a loud, statement dress is your shoe game can be as subtle as you'd like. (Also, let's face it, not everyone has a budget for $1300 studded Louboutins.) Any pair of black, nude or navy heels will do! Note: Sandals or sneakers also work for a night stroll on the beach.

Feeling inspired? You too can make a similar statement, but you're going to need a new dress. These low, mid and high options are a great place to start—happy shopping!
