This top from Club Monaco reminds me of 2 very different and distinct things.

1. It reminds me of the movie The Devil Wears Prada at the Runway meeting over the April issue when an Editor suggests Florals...LOL

"EDITOR: Well... they're showing a lot of florals right now, so I was thinking...
MIRANDA PRIESTLY: Florals? For spring? Ground breaking. "

Now, every time I see florals or anyone mentions florals for Spring, I always think about that scene.
2. and the Ralph Lauren Spring 2008 collection, when the florals were paired with leather or black. It looked so fresh and so new. I looks unexpectedly cute cute.

In conclusion, I love this top as well as the complete Club Monaco floral collection for this 2010 Spring/Summer and will definitely pair them with black.
Hopefully, no one will tell me. Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking! LOL

Embellished Tops

It's very important whenever you are shopping to go to the dressing room and try things on.  Even if you think that the garment you are trying on is a bit out of your comfort zone in terms of style.  This top is the perfect example.  On the hanger, it doesn't look like anything interesting even though the petal decoration and embellishment can be a step up to just having a baby blue tee in your closet.  Theoretically, it could be good for your closet but when looking at it, it just looks ugly.

Now, when I see this top on the model it looks totally different and in a good way.  It looks cute and it's a must have.  I would certainly rather have this top than just a regular tee.  It just adds that little extra something that I need.

Therefore, if you ever find yourself taking a second look at anything just grab into the dressing room and give it a try, because you just never know and that's your good news.
