Winter florals!
I'm loving florals this year, especially on an icy day like today. There's a little, hopeful thought in the back of my mind that maybe, just maybe, Spring will happen upon us here in Chicago soon. Pretty please, with a big, puffy, Technicolor pink flower on top?
Nothing makes me feel as romantic (and maybe a bit 6-year old girly?) as does this ballet pink cropped sweater, painted with a garden of hotter pink English roses and yellowy-taupe leaves. To make it Chicago-appropriate for the dead of January, I wore it under a camel-colored, wool kimono wrap, handmade by Bluet New York that I picked up at the One-of-a-Kind Designer Show at the Merchandise Mart two seasons ago. The wrap came with a matching wool sash, but I decided to wear this outfit today with a much-wider Obi leather belt from Zara. I like this 5x better because it helps hold in the overly blousy style of the wrap in a way that better suits my frame.
Here's hoping for April showers and May flowers very soon!
