Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Who can take a rainbow
Wrap it is a sigh
Soak it in the sun
and make a strawberry lemon pie?

Willy Wonka had the right idea: colors brighten our lives (and our wardrobes). Though it is kind of late in the game as far as spring and designers are concerned, since Fall '09 has already been shown, I guess I only just noticed that every color under the rainbow was used for Spring 09. Among all the crazy prints and silhouettes, you can always count on a lovely solid in a lovely color to brighten your wardrobe. A sampling:

circles&squares&triangles

I just turned in a creative draping project for my Design III studio class. We could only use perfect circles, perfect squares or equilateral triangles to construct our garment. I decided ultimately on perfect circles, because the drape was so pretty! The straps are circles that have been folded into pie shapes, and there's some pleating at the bust line. 8 hours+some frustrating hemming=


It's a little revealing on the sides, so leggings or tights may be in order. But I'm excited to wear it!
