This season, the power suit comes in the form of the short suit. I am particularly happy about this because I was not a fan of the menswear suits for women last season (not very feminine in my opinion). Short suits are a great way to look polished and put-together, while still having a little fun. I decided to combine three big trends for spring in this look: the short suit, white on white, and floral prints. Find more short suit inspiration here.
My mannequin look…
Blazer: Nordstrom/ Shorts:Zara/ Blouse: J.Crew (I love this one)/Necklace: Aldo (similar here)/Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim/Pumps: Ninewest (similar here and here)/ Sunglasses: Halogen/ Watch: Michael Kors/ Ring: YSL (enter to win it here)

That’s awesome! You will look so chic. I bought that shirt a while back on clearance at J.Crew, so it is probably sold out, but Zara has some very nice floral shirts that would work as well, if not better.
