April Seasonal Accessorizing

Bring back a corsage with spring flowers for a jacket as well as a hat.  Repeat the color of the flowers in your outfit.

  1. This topper is certainly tops! With a change of flower, the leopard spots would lend itself to not only a transitional, but also a lovely winter ensemble...I am so enjoying these seasonal posts! --Monsieur Érik
