Well kids, for me, freedom sort of begins today. Turned in a successful final project and all that I have left are a few small assignments that will cause zero stress. In the fall we get back into it, but for now, I can do other things, like write about fashion, which I've been itching to do, because one of my procrastinating techniques is to look at other fashion blogs and/or fashion photographer blogs, and I really like what spring is looking like. (Fashion-wise, to be clear. Weather-wise, spring is acting gloomy and I'm not into it. Also, could we get some warmth? Thanks.)
There are lots of brights, more so than any spring in recent history. Everything I'm seeing is nearly neon in its brightness, and I'm just loving it so much. There's a lot of orange, a lot of bright green, a lot of loose, easy layering.
Where I'm from, colors are huge. We are not a dreary grey people. Despite this, my NYC wardrobe is largely black, white and grey. But this spring, I'm really feeling being colorful. I was walking by Zara the other day and I saw this kimono cardigan in the window:
Their April lookbook is exactly how I want to dress this spring. Lots of breezy silks and bright colors. I realize that a lot of it is inspired by Céline and Fendi, but I can usually afford Zara, and can't really touch the other two.
I do have to mention, though, that the Fendi color block bag was love at first sight for me:
I'm a sucker for green, though. I was thumbing through JCrew's catalogue last month, and saw their Roulette clutch, which came in a great, bold green, but sold out instantly. Oh well. BR has this on offer:
But it's almost too bright? And I *hate* that strap. But it's an option, especially if you have BR coupons. (They're so great about coupons, I have to say.)
Well, that's my fashion blather for today. Enjoy the weekend!
