Scalloped Edges

March 23rd, 2010

I’m a firm believer that scalloped edges make just about anything infinitely cuter.  Whether it’s on some dainty stationery or along the neckline of a blazer, it makes an impact in such a delicate way.  For spring, I love the idea of neutral basics with sweet lines and these are some of my current favorites.  I can imagine myself living in any of these pieces with nothing more than a subtle tan, some punchy lipstick and flat sandals.

  3. Great selections – of course I liked the most expensive one best, sigh! One of my favorite dresses is a Catherine Malandrino with a scalloped hem and neckline (love). The detail just brings such a whimsical edge to clothes.

  4. Oh I do love that little white Forever21 romper. Great price! I may have to check that out, but I’m not quite sure I can really pull off that romper look but I’m always willing to give it another try. :)

    Big fan of your blog. Love it!

    Thanks!
