Wednesday was humid. Just like Tuesday. But armed with a bold pattern and sunny disposition, I put on my sweetest face. I paired a vintage high waist midi skirt of my mother’s, in a deep purple pattern, with a loose fitting ecru blouse, laser-cut ruffles at the neck, tucked primly into the skirt to emphasize the waist; chandelier earrings in teardrop shapes and a rose gold flatform sandal added some sparkle.

Just like my garden, which is planted with great intentions, but mostly left to its own devices… I like my outfits to evolve organically, to suit the mood, the weather and the moment. Each items plays well with others.
