butterfly

Lately I’ve been loving all things butterfly. Whether it’s a statement necklace or a printed blouse or the classic Baccarat butterflies (see #5), I’m all about this insect it seems. Even though one may not think of butterflies this time of year, I think it’s the perfect addition to any outfit, whether in print or accessory form, to brighten up the cold days ahead. I was never one to follow fashion ‘rules,’ so white after Labor Day always seemed just fine in my book, as did wearing navy with black. While butterflies may seem ‘odd’ in the winter, I think it’s unexpected and fabulous.

    For a second I thought number 5 were those butterfly hair clips that were popular in the ’90s. I was about to fall on the floor laughing. I love that scarf you picked!

    I felt like this might be a bit too girlie for me, but after seeing the graphic black and white print on the blouse, I love it. Great picks, Julie! xo

  8. Ooooh I don’t own anything with a butterfly print but these are all so pretty! I totally agree with you, butterflies in the winter is a great idea as it’s not expected. I really like the gray and white blouse and the scarf!
