31/03/201015/12/2015 CarolynUncategorized2 Comments on “Moody Milkmaid” skirt

I know I’m not the only one to be completely inspired by the Celine spring/summer 2010 collection.  A deceptively bare collection, almost monastic in its simplicity but oh-so stylish and oh-so now.  Minus the fussy design details and opulent prints…

Wardrobe Refashion, project 6

12/03/201021/12/2016 CarolynUncategorized23 Comments on Wardrobe Refashion, project 6
