I think both E.’s description of S.’s style as whimsical and S.’s own designation of her style as preppy romantic perfectly encapsulate S.’s creative and colorful approach to clothes, which I adore.
I am often inspired by S. to push myself in terms of both color and pattern, but today I am paying tribute to what has become one of S.’s signature looks – the layered dresses. S. has worn her shirt dresses over simple jersey dresses to create a sophisticated and rich look. And while green may not be S.’s signature color, she wears it beautifully, especially paired with black.
I also love how S. brings a touch of whimsical charm to her outfits, particularly through the flower brooch, which I am always a little hesitant to wear. She does it so well and even managed to layer two rather large flowers without letting them overwhelm the ensemble, so I’m giving it a shot with these two flower brooches from Blue Onion Marketplace.
I’m also wearing my hair curly for S.’s birthday because I love her curly hair and all the creative ways she styles it.
I miss you S., especially today! I wish I could be with you to celebrate your special day! I’m thinking of you! Love, A.

Your curly hair looks so cute! You’re totally channeling S., especially with the flower brooch. Cute!
The double flower broach is so great!
Happy Birthday S! or with a dutch accent ‘Heppy Birsday’… One year wiser and more fabulous!
It’s the boots, really. They say ‘S’ to me. Dang, you look cute with curls!
