Miami Vibes: Into The Tropics

{ Via: Vogue }

Are you ready for some football? I can't wait to see Jennifer Lopez in action in the half time show. Jenny may be from the block, but she's all Miami this week. She wore the Jungle dress above in the Versace Spring 2020 show. No doubt J. Lo will bring the heat again on Sunday and stun the crowd with  something sultry. Will it be Versace? We will have to tune in to see. In the meantime, this post features trending tropical prints for the Spring season, that we all can enjoy.

These look much more expensive than they are.
