Watercolor Blooms

March 7th, 2012

Free People Sunglasses, A.L.C. Blouse, Elizabeth and James Skirt, Vintage Clutch, Topshop Cuffs, LAMB Heels, Make-up Forever Lipstick #40

With just a little over a month left until our wedding (and two trips planned in between), my schedule has required that my outfits be nothing if not simple and subdued. But sometimes it’s good to change things up, even if that means with a slightly more flouncy skirt and one of my favorite blouses. It feels prim and proper in its silhouette and I love the contrast of the watercolor pattern and black trim.

    Oh, so cute the blouse pattern, and the skirt is perfect! I have one skirt almost like that and I hadn’t no idea how to combine it along with a blouse, like, what kind of blouse it would be most perfect to combine. Now Emily helped me out! Thank you sweetie! Hugs from Brazil!
