Floral Arrangement

Isabel Marant top and skirt no longer available, but similar here, Gucci sandals and shades, Prada handbag, similar for much less here, Hermes cuff, Jami Lyn earrings,
Louis Vuitton leather flower.

Every time I wear this floral ensemble I feel light and breezy and, well, very flowery. Since flowers are one of my favorite things, I was drawn to this little ensemble at once. It was heavily reduced two summers ago, and I bought it on the spot at Barneys New York. I will admit that it is a tad on the short side, but since the top is neither defined in shape or fit, I think it works modestly and shows enough to leg to flatter but not flirt. I tried this outfit with a low sandal and it looked drab on me. I think I need a little more height than a 1 1/2 inch heel provides. I had originally worn it on a 95° plus day in NYC on the night that Serena graduated and performed in a dance show. Jeff snapped this shot of me on that muggy day when we were on our way to the theater.

I continue to enjoy it today, changing out the sandals and adding a red handbag (and lipstick) for color.

I am still basking in the afterglow of the Louis Vuitton exhibit. I just re did my home office and purchased a couple of these incredible leather origami flowers to display on one of the shelves. As soon as the office design is complete, I will be sharing before photos with you. In the meantime, I added it to this post for a real pop of color and design!
