Bloom Where You Are Planted

Nordstrom Catalog - Feb 2015

I love this notion of blooming where you are planted, in other words there is no geographical excuse for not being who you are in this exact moment. There is also no excuse for not being able to express yourself authentically, in essence wearing what you want.

This notion is a very powerful and empowering one. It disables you from handing away your power to the universe or external circumstances. You may wish to be in another place in your life, geographical or otherwise but really all we have is NOW. Dig into your life as well as your closet and bloom right where you are.  You feel like wearing a cocktail dress to a lunch? DO IT  you think you will be over dressed? SO WHAT. For the purpose of this blog I'm using fashion as part of the metaphor but truly dig your heel's into your life, in this very moment, exactly where you are, as you are. Enjoy the sun on your face and know the grass is greener where you water it, where you are planted, not way over there ...

Obsessed: Seasonal Colour Palette

I am OBSESSED with this seasons colour palette, Vintage inspired looks AND this Vintage yellow Cape/Coat. It was custom made (as per the label) in the most beautiful shade of YELLOW!

Love the detail on the gold tone metal buttons.

The "cape" attaches to the jacket via snaps. It is totally removable and it transforms into a fabulous 3/4 length double breasted sleeveless jacket or vest.  It is a really unique piece!! You could get BOLD and style Vintage sweater clips with the "cape" piece for another look. Maybe over a cute tank with jeans and amazing heels. Mix it up!
