Personally, I love that Florence knows what she likes. Having a unique sense of style and not trying every single trend that hits the runway is never a bad thing. That said, she is reaching parody-worthy levels with her unwavering commitment to this look.
Do you like Florence's style? Which of her maxi dresses is your favorite? What silhouette would you wear every day in 2012 if you had to follow in her sartorial footsteps? Do tell!
