I have occupied my leisure time this Monday evening to cuddle under a blanket in the company of some coffee and chocolate to watch The Edge of Love, set in the 1940's. I was struck by the inspired photography of the more-than-lovely Welsh landscape and, of course, the utterly anglophilic costume design that caused nothing but sheer astonishment in me. The combination of the two made the film an even lovelier experience for me as I share that particular love for Wales and its folk and confess myself an incurable anglophilic. Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley jumped around in light flowery gauze dresses with thick knit jumpers and cardigans and paired them up with knee-length socks and rubber boots. An odd combination, one might think. But, having a closer more considerate look it is undeniable that there is exquisite quirkiness and unexpected comfort. And so, I looked around the net to put together a few more contemporary ensembles I feel make great transition-to-Spring outfits (particularly if you are lucky enough to live in the UK).
Markus Lupfer bow sweater, Diane von Furstenberg dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs striped cardigan, 3.1 Phillip Lim floral print dress, American Apparel socks, Wellington Hunter boots.
