With all the magazines focused on spring fashions, my mind automatically drifts towards florals and light colors. I fell in love with the watercolor-esque strokes in this print and thought it would perfect for a skirt. In the spring, I'll wear this with short sleeved tops and bare legs, but for now a sweater and tights will work :)

DeleteI love the colors and print. I am in the process of making a pleated skirt ans love the florals. I might as well put the wool like material away and just get started on spring. Then again living in the midwest I might as well finish it. Cant wait to se more from you. -Nancy
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy! I feel the same way about putting the winter materials away. I was midway through a coat project and lost interest, lol. Stay warm!
