What Would Jilly Wear

04.24.11

Happy Easter!  Today is one of those serendipitous days where what I wore corresponded with where I left off in my backlog (backblog?) of outfits.  Feels like the good ol’ days… except a lot less creative.  I’m still wrestling with how, exactly, I go about maintaining my unique fashion fingerprint and upgrade my level of professionalism.  This kelly cardigan feels more like something Kate Spade might wear, or my friend Sarah, with her fervent loyalty to the colour green.  In fact, I told her she should take it… then reneged, realizing that I should probably do a better job of incorporating pretty, polished pieces like it into my wardrobe.  Sarah, if you’re reading this, I’m sorry I’m an ersatzgiver*.

*It’s pretty outrageous that a people that were generous enough to give up  Manhattan for $24 in beads would emerge with a reputation as anything but fair.
