It may be Spring but all of a sudden there's a slight chill in the air - as my grandmother says; "Don't cast a clout till May is out". It's an old English saying that makes far more sense across the pond than it does in LA. Although the subtle pink blush of flowers across a sea of black is the right amount of Summer teasing.
I have to give credit to my daughter for finding this skirt. We were scouring the racks in H&M and I agreed to try it on more so to humor her than anything else - the length plus pleats had a princess appeal for her. I remember bursting into a fit of giggles with her in the dressing room as she asked me to twirl around and around until the skirt took on a life of its own. It was that moment I was sold! I guess the princess fantasy never really leaves...The built-in mini skirt underneath adds some edge to the overall look and the high waist finally allowed me to be a little adventurous and wear a cropped sweater. The polka dots give this outfit such a fun vibe!
