FAVORITE FIND: Floral Koi Carp Print Maxi Dress from Dorothy Perkins

It's hard not to want to trade out all your woolen pants and heavy sweaters for light, airy cloths and fluttery designs at the first blush of spring, so we won't try.

This Multi koi carp print maxi dress from Dorothy Perkins is a unique twist on the bird-print fashion that is in style.  At only $57, it's a great dress and comfortably covers up all your lady-parts with a pairing of either a sunny yellow cardigan ($24, Kohls) or pool blue ballet wrap top ($28, Old Navy).
