A pretty floral top can do so much more than you think. Wear it on its own with dark denim and flats for an easy polished look, then add a quilted jacket when the temperature drops. I love how the floral print still feels feminine and interesting while the darker colors make it perfect for transitioning into fall. One versatile top, two completely different looks.
