Spring brings the desire for a fresh look and if you're going to invest, it probably needs to be something that can carry on through summer, maybe into early fall. Some years I get new pieces, other years I just re-mix and re-match what I have, perhaps with some different accessories.
This spring though I got this red dress with native designs around the neckline.
At first I thought it too bold, bit then in the same week, I came into these adorable used and scuffed, worn but loved, black boots with red roses.
I still didn't put two and two together though until I noticed the hat that has been hanging on my wall for a few seasons now, a cute little rust-colored straw that perfectly matched the colors in the neckline of the dress and the wheels in my brain were starting to turn,
There was still something missing though and I decided it needed to be a large chunky necklace or two to compliment the red so I whipped up two that I simply adore. Finally I was ready to put it all together, and viola! My new favorite spring and summer ensemble. Ready to stroll the Plaza.
Let this be your guide in finding out how one new or simple piece can suddenly lead you on a couture-journey into sometimes seemingly mis-matched or unchartered territory. I had no idea these stray pieces would tie together for such an amazing southwest look. So keep your eye peeled and when that first piece shows up, look around, scout around and see what treaures you can add to create your own special spring and summer look.
