All-over prints
Love ‘em. Kind of surprised to find this at Target. I’m not sure what it’s referencing, but I thought it was beautiful.

Coogi/Lilly: Sporty & Bright
I love Coogi. I love those big huge men’s jeans with the extremely adorned back pockets, and the coordinating hoodies. So by extension I like the womenswear too. This top in particular has a lot going on, and I couldn’t help noticing how similar it is in some respects to my Lilly Pulitzer vintage golf skirt, and I thought, what a beautiful and complex example of material culture I’m wearing.

Just Professing My Love Again
I can’t overstate how much I love the Abstract Expressionists, so I’m saying it in two languages: English and Fashion. That’s why I bought these pieces (separately, in different years at different stores). I was inspired to put them all together by a feature in Elle on head to toe prints a few years ago.
The center pics are Franz Kline (L) and Jackson Pollack.
