these are just a few of the things i'm hoping to make this spring.
the first dress is the picka shift dress from marimekko, a finnish textile and clothing company established in 1951. i have loved their fabrics for years but didn't realize that they sold clothing until i browsed their website. there's a marimekko concept store on the upper east side in nyc and though i'm sure i won't be able to purchase anything, i'd love to touch all the lovely fabrics. i'm going to try to find a striped cotton sateen to make my copy.
the other three items are from anthropologie--another store with beautiful fabrics. i love the racerback detail on the dress. i think i'll be making a lot of things with racerbacks this spring.
(follow-up to the shoe post: none of the shoes i ordered from zappos fit. i tried the clarks erda sandals in a 7 wide but they were still too big. i'm considering getting them in a 6.5. i did, however, FINALLY buy the boots i've always wanted:
i wore my new blondo boots last weekend to nyc. i was hesitant to be breaking in new boots when i knew i would be doing a lot of walking, but they were great! it rained all weekend and my feet were dry as could be. the zipper dug into my ankle a little but i think it just takes getting used to. too bad it's now 70 degrees and sunny!)
