This spring and play around with prints and try doubling up on prints. Try to do a floral print top paired with a floral print bottom. When pairing floral prints try and do two different sizes, one big and the other print smaller. This will help the overwhelming feeling of the floral print. Do either a different print shoe like D&G or do a solid color shoe. If your afraid of pairing up floral prints to break it up a bit try doing a jacket like the Old Navy linen moto jacket (last on the right $35). Also stick with a solid color bag, do a bag that sticks with the color of the print.
