such a tassel

When it comes to my spring and summer wardrobe, there’s always one thing I shy away from – anything that’s a hassle. If its difficult to wear, clingy in the wrong places, too hot or requires more effort than I have patience for (which is not a lot), I’d rather not bother.Orange, Blue, Tassel, Lilly Pulitzer, Zara, Mint, Ruffle Shorts, Tap Shorts, Summer, Spring, Accessories, Fashion, Style, Southern, Preppy, Sorority, TexasThat is why I’m such a fan of fun, bright items that spruce up a look effortlessly. Especially when that fun, bright item takes the form of a tassel. Two tassels, rather. For your ears. Tassel earrings. Hello show stopper.

And I won’t have to worry about being too hot. Ask any Texas gal – that is music to the ears. Orange, Blue, Tassel, Lilly Pulitzer, Zara, Mint, Ruffle Shorts, Tap Shorts, Summer, Spring, Accessories, Fashion, Style, Southern, Preppy, Sorority, TexasEven more reason to celebrate?
