Wearing floral printed dresses may be the easiest thing in the world when we're talking about styling it up, because sometimes you can work it out with a simple pair of sandals and a bag, but other times that's not the problem, finding the right shape for your body may be one.

In case you're wondering what shoes to wear, the variety is large and it depends a lot on your personal style. Choose for gladiator sandals, fringe-bohemian ones, Oxford shoes, summer wedges, anything.

Also remember that floral dresses are a classic must-have item because you can wear it in spring and summer with some sandals, but in the fall season you'll take those booties out and that cardigan and you're good to go!
