Indira Bekkers Leaf Green Silk

Indira Bekkers Leaf Satin Dress

Posted by Cajsa Lilliehook

Oh yes, it’s one of the sunny spring days that are all too rare in the rainy Northwest. The sun is shining, the windows are open and all is well with the world. Clearly, my clothes have to reflect that general sense of well-being that comes from a day like today. So what could be a better choice that a fresh leaf green, the color of the new leaves opening on the birches.

Indira Bekkers Leaf Satin dress is the perfect color – the exact shade of a new leaf uncurling in the spring. So that’s what I threw on this morning. The lovely Jade Hydrangea earrings and necklace from Petal Meg complete the palette of spring greens. I hope it’s color brightens your day, too.

She says pink, I say purple

Checker Dress Pink

Is this pink or is this purple? While not a matter of earth-shattering urgency, I would like to know so I put it away in a folder where I can easily find it again. Yes, I am one of those irritatingly organized people. My clothes are organized into types of items (such as Dresses: Everyday, Dressy & Formal) and then within each of those folders, there are color folders. So my eyes say put this in the Everyday/Purple folder but my head sees the word Pink in the name and all of a sudden I want to put it in Everyday/Pink.

I know I will want to wear it again. The lovely bias tape edging in plum, the darling criss-cross belt combine to give it a sweet, delicate feel. It also comes with a short, snug miniskirt and comes in several colors in season fat-packs. More photos on my Flickr.
