Inspiration: This pattern was inspired by Marilyn Monroe.
Her signature cherry-red lipstick and her strong quote have inspired me to a happy Cherry patterned Shirt.
Strong and unapologetically bold. With a wink.
“I am selfish, impatient and a little insecure.
I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle.
But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”
Marilyn Monroe
