First off you need to know that I have by observing and analyzing my closet- I have identified an issue I have: no husband, it is not that I have too much clothing. Rather, when I shop I tend to gravitate to the crazier, bold pieces- which is fine- except that's all I tend to by so I just have a wardrobe of bold prints that don't go together. I know I need to build my neutrals. So I was focusing on neutrals when I was shopping and I found the perfect piece.
Second thing I feel compelled to explain is that if I'm travelling abroad, I like to bring home a piece from a local designer. Hence Virginia coming home with me from London.
Friend of Audrey is a line that celebrates timeless pieces and I loved the palette and the masculinity of the shapes. I fell in love with this duster cardigan and after exploring all my options, I had to come back and get it.
Sure, it's not really the piece you'd picture getting in hot Australia...it looks more like something I would have picked up in Scotland...but bathing suit season is long gone in my world right now ( we are expecting flurries this week, sigh) so I knew it would be perfect.
And because I like to name my memorable pieces and I didn't have a name for her yet when I started this post- I have decided now that I'm going to name her Bindi.
I can't wait to see your fall kimono looks! Please point me in the direction of a perfect rich hued lighter version if you see one as I'm still daydreaming.

That looks so comfy!
ReplyDeleteI love that you noticed that and really looked into buying something more neutral. And Bindi does look really comfy cozy.
ReplyDeleteI love that sweater and the sweater dress underneath! I gravitate towards only neutrals (other than leopard) - so for me it is the opposite challenge - finding prints and some excitement.
