I've had a long-standing obsession with Indian block-printed cotton anything. I blame my mother, who used to sport it in the late '80s, early '90s when I was a kid (or at least that's what I remember - who knows). But despite my obsession, I didn't own a single piece until recently. I'd been looking for the perfect dress or blouse, and lo and behold, one of my local favorites, Moon + Arrow, pulled through for me with this gorgeous top. It has everything: volume, color, and jingly bells on the ties at the neck. I bought it as a sort of 'congratulations' gift for myself after a recent accomplishment, and pretty much haven't taken it off since.

I'm still on the hunt for a dress, but I love that a blouse is practically seasonless. With boots and an extra layer, this look can take me right into fall and winter, but for now, let's just pretend those seasons don't exist... also, shout out to big shoes that don't hurt my feet! Lately I'm all about big flatforms that keep my feet as a comfortable angle while making me at least 6-inches taller. Practically everything hurts my feet, so it's a small miracle when I find a pair of shoes that aren't Birks or sneakers that I can spend all day in.
