{ the jaunty magpie }

We seem to be nearing that in-between seasonal period, where the days still linger, but the evenings start to whisper of an autumn chill. But the Magpie wants her summer parfait and to eat it, too! Inspired by looks in Proenza Schouler's and Yigal Azrouël's 2010 resort collection, this little birdy rummaged through her wardrobe to follow their jaunty lead. Combined with a new fitted vintage-style tee, this Inspiration has hints of herringbone in a lightweight vest and baggy shorts, aviator sunglasses, and a few notes of polished bohemia to lighten the menswear touches. This little ditty is meant to celebrate the remaining afternoons of ice cream and flipflops, and herald the days of galoshes and peacoats to come.
