Outfit Post: Españolas de Flores


Don't tell Sacramento, but guess who's the inspiration behind my outfit today? (Hint: the reigna in Spain-a flies mainly on a plane, ah) From London to Berlin to sunny Espana, the charms of Sacramento bloom where ever she visits. And, who else can pull off such a frenzied mix of colorful florals with such a grand gesture of love + sunshine?


Bloom on, mi hermana.

Nobody, that's who!  But that doesn't keep us from trying.

    It's great that you're taking part in Visible Monday and inspired by Sacramento to boot! I love the jacket and can only imagine all the loot you're carrying with three bags.

    Way to channel our fave Spaniard. Great inspiration and I love how your fit came together. All the prints and the rad booties! I wanted to give our daughter "Sacramento" as a middle name, still working on that with Nacho. Problem is, his last name is Salinas. So it might sound like a California map. Sacramento Salinas? I still like it though. a lot.

    Your interpretation of Sacramento is so beautiful! I think the patterns you've chosen mix really well because of the difference in size and colour - well done! Sacramento is my hero too!

    What a great homage to a vibrantly wonderful woman! Though when I saw the flower headpiece I also thought thought of another wonderful woman: Desiree of Pull Your Socks up - and scrolled to the end to see that it is indeed one of her fabulous creations. I want a closer look at those electric blue ankle boots too.

    Bella,
    How in the heck do you do this? This is a stroke of pattern madness and cuteness. I am mystified...but bow down to you.
