festival child

by Karen Blanchard
21 June 2010

Dress: Michelle Jones (UAL consignment in New Orleans). Hat: Free People (feather added/DIY). Wing ring: Random NY shop. Apple turquoise ring: New Orleans. Earring: H&M
Had I found this dress on Day 1 in New Orleans, I would have worn it for fest all weekend long: Bell sleeves with crochet panels? Had my name all over it.
Bonus points for being so damn comfortable. Definitely in the summer rotation. Feathers optional.
