Blossom
from the designer: “It’s almost spring where I am, but not quite; the snow is still on the ground but I’ve had enough of the cold. I needed something to kick winter’s ass and herald spring’s return. So this skirt was dreamed up while I was looking through a book of flower studies and plotting spring’s resurrection.
“It’s made in bright tropical colors to chase away the winter blues but the wool yarn is thick and sturdy so the skirt holds its shape and also keeps your legs nice and warm just in case winter kicks back.
”I like to wear mine with leggings and tall Doc Marten boots.“
