Good morning, Wedneday. Welp, looks like Spring may finally be here. (The moment I wakeup, before I put on my makeup, I say a little prayer for youuu....)
And though some of you may not be so in the mood for Dionne Warwick (though I can't imagine why), you most certainly are in the mood to lighten up a bit, break up the monotony- style up with something soft, beautiful, and as pretty as Spring flowers.
In my usual am go around, I found these fabulous photos shot by Peter Lindbergh for Donna Karan Spring/Summer 1999. I can't say enough about how inspired these pictures are- the lovely relaxed vibe, the fabric, the gorgeous light colors and minimal silhouettes. Not much here I wouldn't put on my body this very moment, and to think that was 14 years ago, yet somehow so very right NOW. Any of these looks would be amazing with the sensible shoe du jour, the Birkenstock or something of that ilk (ps where is Ahn Duong these days? How fabulous does she look here?). If I was in that phase of my life where I still had loads of summer weddings to attend, I'd wear any of these gorgeous pieces- they have that 90s Ghost/Calypso vibe I love so very much. Crinkled silk in pretty colors. Good times. Perhaps I should host my own soiree this summer and wear something on par with any of the above?
And though I will never abandon my basic black, you can't help but feel resuscitated by these soft hues. Officially obessed. Let the Ebay hunt for some vintage Donna begin. Cause that's what's up this soft and relaxed flower of a Wednesday, cause it's Spring time in New York and I feel fine. And inspired. Yours, in pastel perfection. XO
