Marta said...

you look amazing, Bella! i am so in love with your stunning cape!

Sarah said...

I love it -- the perfect play of mixed patterns, and I'm totally coveting the blue-green swirling flowers of the cardi. My favorite hues, and a pretty pop of rich color against the b&w.

Raquel said...

Love the cape and the dress! You look amazing in the second picture.

the Citizen Rosebud said...

Thanks, ladies! I really was pleased with the way the outfit turned out: super comfy AND festive! It was a fun day!

tinyjunco said...

i especially love the combination of two abstract floral prints, one very geometric and the other watercolory...and completely different color schemes! oooh, and i have to get me some petti-pants right quick. (brrr....!)

this is such a great cape and you wear it so well. i'm encouraged by seeing these more structured capes, the flowy romantic ones are too much for my bod. yay capes!!! steph
