I talk a lot and I certainly can't show you everything I mention considering it's not in my wardrobe (although I wish it were. These looks can be easily accomplished with an endless list of other retailers' merchandise.
Safari/Military inspired blazers paired with floral (Mango)
This is a great if you don't want to come off too girly or too "Little house on the Prairie" since a jacket or blazer will harden the look. It's easy and effortless.
Floral top & neutral skirt (Zara)
My apologies for the fuzziness of this one, blame Zara's flash website. I'm not sure I would do the plain ruffles myself but I would definitely tone down the floral print of this shirt with a neutral colored short skirt. That being said, denim bottoms would complete the look as well.
Denim with floral (Nastygal)
Obviously, there are so many ways to wear denim and floral prints. Instead of a cardigan, pair a floral dress with a denim vest or jacket. Forever 21 has some great blue denim shorts with pink flowers already printed on them. You can also pair denim bottoms with floral tops as mentioned above. Mixed things up by wear a denim looking chambray button down with a floral printed skirt or short.

A little bit of eye candy - loving this from Mango
I included a picture in my Nudes & Pastels: Spring/Summer 2010 Trends (part 1) post that demonstrates how to wear the lingerie inspired look for everyday, so I didn't feel the need to add it here as well. Give this outfit a CHIC vote on Chictopia.
Here are some suggestions for other ways to wear this trend:
In terms of colors: black, grays, ice cream colors, pastels, & various shades of nudes
1. Pair a casual light weight pj inspired top with some skinny light or white jeans. Choose wedges or flat strappy sandals, your choice. This top would also look great with a cardigan in another pastel shade (light blue, lavender or mint) and a pair of white shorts to complete the look. (from Topshop)
2. Pink up an eyelet dress. This one is lingerie inspired because of its cut, particularly at the top where it resembles a corset. It is from Topshop and comes in mint as well. This is the perfect choice for you if you need something that can be worn everyday, but it can also be dressed up for a night on the town.
3. You can also easily achieve this look by looking at lingerie you already have. incorporate a nightie or lingerie tank into one of your day to day or night outfits and there you have it.
The pictures as promised. All of the articles I'm wearing in this outfit are specified in my youtube video embedded above. Give this look a chic Vote on chictopia.
Below, more that I hadn't mentioned in the video. I'm wearing lingerie for day, an old nightie given to me by my mom. Everything else is from Zara including this fabulous neutral beige leather purse, except the black belt which is from Urban Outfitter.
Pair it with heel for a more dressed up look. I'm wearing Nine West satin pumps in pink and peach, an oversize short Mango cardigan in gray with light gray strips, and white wedges from Zara. Chic vote.

My new Dolce Vita "Gia" otk boots that I ordered from Urban Outfitters arrived today. I am pleased with my order contrary to others who have purchased these boots. There were complaints about how the shaft was loose fitting or slouchy amongst other things. These boots have no zipper, they slip on and I must admit that taking them off is slightly awkward. The boot has a small wedge, and it has a 15 inch long shaft. Obviously, if you want the tight fitting otk boots seen on celebrities such as Kate Moss, then these are not for you (the "Eve" boot from Dolce Vita is better fit for your needs). I happen to like these just the way they are and the gathering of the leather makes them unique.
Check out my chictopia, I made an entry about these boots. If you have a chictopia, leave a comment with your link if you'd like. :)
