In The Secret Garden, Mary finds beauty in the most unlikely places-- a secret garden in the labyrinth of a windswept castle, and love in the heart of her uncle, the hunchback. ~ A floral dress, a wide-brimmed hat to keep the sun from her eyes, sturdy leather boots and a bag for exploring, and the secret key to the hidden garden gate. This sweet outfit conjures up spring!

Complimentary colors, playing off a pre-existing brick wall in a theoretical flat. Repeating motifs of color, shape, texture, and age.

Miu Miu ankle boot, two ways. Lace and leather. Gold and wood. Rich and poor.

Loosely based on the fabulous 1952 movie-- VERY loosely based, it turns out.
 
Ahem. It was so cold and rainy here today, all I wanted to do was take a nap. Maybe if I had these adorable galoshes I'd be more enthusiastic about going outside! The collar necklace looks a bit like the water running down the window pane next to me, and those thick grey leggings look deliciously cozy and warm. A concession for the optimistic little cropped pants!
