Sometimes in spring, I've had the thought that I would love to cover myself in roses, or make an elaborate hat from jasmine blossoms so I can carry their scent with me everywhere. Worn Through, a blog that examines clothes through an academic lens, has a wonderful round-up of flowers used in fashion, including this amazing "Camellia Contessa" piece by artist Nicole Dextras. While a dress like this would obviously be hard to wear, it definitely makes me think about incorporating fresh flowers into my outfits when I can, whether it's a few violets tucked into a bun or a sprig of rosemary pinned to my jacket. It used to be far more common to wear flowers, and it's a cheap and easy way to spruce up your day! (Thanks Laura for introducing me to the Worn Through blog!)
Thanks so much for the link, Arwen! Spring is the best time for enjoying flowers in all fashions... -Lucy Collins at wornthrough
