Print clothing can be  a great way to incorporate many colors into your wardrobe.

Wearing a vivid print pattern will immediately liven up your outfit and draw much attention your way. Sometimes though, these patterns may be a bit much for certain occasions but there is an easy solution, watercolor prints. Water color prints tend to be a bit more muted in terms of color intensity. Another quality of water color prints is that the lines and shapes are softer, not as harsh as a tradition print. Since these prints are softer in color, they are perfect for spring and summer, though you will most likely have to put them away come fall since they are too summery.

The Shoshanna Sweetheart Strapless Dress is a great dress for spring and summer. This is a very feminine dress and is perfect for an afternoon or evening event. Made of silk-chiffon, this delicate sweetheart neckline dress with boning at the bodice has beautiful shades of pink, yellow, and green. A ruched waist, pleating throughout, and a bias seams make this dress figure flattering and ladylike. A feminine sandal will make this outfit complete though you can wear a heel or flat if you prefer. Because of all the great colors in the dress you should have no problems finding the perfect colorful shoe to wear or you can stick with a neutral shoe if you prefer.

The Twenty8Twelve Ava Romper is a very colorful romper with practically every color from the rainbow, in a muted palette. This long sleeve top with shorts bottom romper has a drawstring elastic waist and small fold-over collar. Hidden snap buttons make this romper seamless and streamlined. The cuffs of the sleeves have snaps on them allowing you to push the sleeves up to 3/4 length if you choose without worrying of wrinkling them sleeves or having them fall down to full length. In cooler weather you can wear the sleeve all the way down. You can wear this romper with practically any warm weather shoe, a flat, gladiator sandal, or heel. If you have a shoe in a color you can pull from the romper go ahead, but if not stick with a neutral or a brown shoe.

The Rebecca Taylor Watercolor Flower Camisole is a great everyday shirt that is casual but not too informal. This exposed shoulder shirt has soft watercolor floral patterns on it in shades of green, peach, blue, and pink. The ruched scoop neckline makes this a very flattering shirt. The cut out shoulders with ties give the shirt a bit of a sexy edge to it. The shirttail hem makes this shirt appropriate to wear untucked. You can wear this shirt with shorts or jeans. Pair your outfit with a pair of wedges and you are ready to go on with your day.

Rebecca Taylor is a New Zealand born fashion designer who grew up  in what she calls a fairy-tale village. This ethereal village has influenced her immensely because all of her clothing has a fairy tale feel to it. Rebecca Taylor dresses in particular,  have a feminine fit and feel to them making every woman feel their best when wearing them. Rebecca has a great eye for the smallest of details so when you wear her clothes you can be sure that all pleats, panels, ruffles, and hems are carefully placed to enhance the shape of a woman and not just look great esthetically.

The Rebecca Taylor Pom Pom Halter Dress is floral midi dress, with its bottom hem hitting the  upper middle calf of your legs. This is a very feminine dress with a ruffle overlay at the top of the dress and an elastic belt at the waist. Though this is a halter dress, the string is detachable so you can wear the dress strapless if you  prefer. I love that this dress has hip pockets, that is something that is unusual with most dresses.

Another great Midi dress is the Rebecca Taylor Nouveau Ballet Dress. The top half of the Nouveau dress V neck silk and is a jacquard tulip pattern. Below the waist this dress is the same tulip pattern and color but is a smooth silk. The smocked bodice and ruched waist allow  the dress to accentuate your body shape.

Continuing with the floral prints but in a different length is the Rebecca Taylor Rose Print Gown.  The dress is a silk-chiffon blend maxi dress that has asymmetrical ruffles at the V Neck bodice. A smocked waist and back panel allow this dress to be a bit fitted in those parts which in turn gives the dress a great shape that is very feminine.

Though it is not a floral dress, the Rebecca Taylor Grecian Strapless Dress is just as feminine and colorful as the previous dresses. I love the ruched sweetheart neckline, the  pintucking at the front of the dress, and the hip pockets. My favorite part of this mini dress is the bright fuchsia color that will look great on so many skin tones.

Rebecca Taylor truly is a must go to brand for a dress that is feminine, ethereal, and fits well. I am very excited to see what Rebecca has in store for the future in terms of her clothing.
