joanne goddard pointed out the lovely and colorful spring collection from steven alan this year, and i had to share. normally, i expect the same old (beautifully tailored) button-down shirts, slouched “just so”. but this year, everything is so fresh and relaxed. lots of pieces worth checking out, but i’m such a sucker for liberty prints (and orange) that my heart went right for this tuxafari liberty shirt. it’s a wonderful, girly take on a tuxedo shirt. brace yourselves, it’s a steep $265. but i’m picturing this with everything from a blazer at work to a floaty skirt on the weekend – and, when money’s tight, i’m always in favor of buying one really special piece for the season instead of blowing the same wad at H&M on a wardrobe you’ll despise by july.
check out the entire collection here (including a perfect slouched tee that screams french chic), and revel in all that lovely liberty fabric!
