My uber-fabulous friend Liz sent me a surprise package the other day containing two dozen or so vintage fabric flowers. (She is an estate sale junkie and should be commandeered as a vintage coolhunter.) The fabric was wired to create the petals, and the whole thing was wired together to shape a blossom. Delighted, I set out to make them into something wearable (although they also look adorable in a small bud vase.) The resulting barrettes are a little J.Crew, a smidge Lilly Pulitzer and a whole lot of Emmy & Ivy.
They would look fabulous with a red or orange sundress....or a crisp white shirt and jeans. All spring and summer fare, for sure...but this is an accessory that cries out for an accompanying season.
