Along with the new skirt, my birthday loot included a couple of pretty shirts that unfortunately didn’t fit. So I returned them to Nordstrom and came home with this in their stead.
I kind of had to, right? Butterflies, on a cotton/silk blend that is my favorite kind of fabric almost in the whole world. I didn’t think the colors would work, but the lepidoptera is more brown than orange and I squeaked in under my personal yellow-hues percentage. With brown Dickers and an Étoile Isabel Marant jacket? Oh yeah.
And I haven’t actually even had my birthday. Nice work family, thank you very much.

Perfect. The butterflies will feel even more at home in your garden.
@MaryAnne, Maybe I should stand out front and hope I attract some more!
Nice work indeed!
@Leslie K, :)
Flutterby in your new shirt! I feel it might look lovely with your new skirt.
@Patsy, With the skirt, hmm, I hadn’t even thought of that!
Ooh! Very nice. Very you!
@Coleman Susan, Thank you! And glad it feels like me to you.
Lovely!

@dottoressa, :)
Very pretty! I think you’ll wear this lots.
@Susan B, I hope so. I’m thinking with straight leg GAP jeans and my cognac Ecco sneakers, for daytime in the suburbs…
I love it, and I am also a huge fan of that fabric. So light to wear in that California heat too. Your family has done well! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY! xox
@DaniBP, Thank you! Of course my actual birthday is September 30th but I’m taking any and all well wishes! And I am happy to find another silk/cotton fan:).
Ahhh! Very lovely!
@Jane, <3
Butterflies! Of course you came home with those. . . Perfect!
@Frances/Materfamilias, I know;).
Your butterflies have landed on your back! And arms and tummy and neck and head and toes and …!
@Ann, Everywhere:).
That is lovely.
(if you hang the shirt next to the milkweed, can you grow another shirt by next summer?)
@KC, Ha! Best idea ever!!!!!
Butterflies seem to be your spirit animal!
@JB, They are just so beautiful. I’ve loved them since I was a little girl, and we visited my father’s family’s house in New Jersey where the tiger swallowtails were everywhere.
Appears to be beautifully made with prominent butterflies perfectly aligned in the front.
