Growing up in the city might make you the savviest girl in the world when it comes to dodging homeless people with outstretched empty cups but it'll do nothing for preparing you in dealing with nature. Pollen? Is that a new restaurant downtown? Bugs? Latest hot graffiti writer? Sorry but the closest city girl is going to come to the earth is an occasional brush with dog poop and cockroaches. Even the most bug-phobic person in the world will not get itchy skin when confronted with a charming ladybug. Why is that? Can you imagine letting a roach crawl on your hand? Blecccch. Ladybugs have constant invitations to climb aboard so we can get a closer look. When the weather hits freezing and a little red and black dotted cutie can't be found, you can cozy up to your own ladybug cardigan. Elbow-length sleeves, red and white satin trim and big gorgeous satin ladybug applique all over the place. To wear with a white pique A-line skirt and jute wedge heels in spring or over a red cashmere Karoo dress in fall, we promise everyone's going to want to get a closer look at you. Still, we wish someone would make a modern version with applique roaches - we can deal with fake ones. Made by Kishu's in Hong Kong, it is lined in sapphire silk crepe. Bust measures up to 38", shoulder to shoulder 15", outer sleeve 16" and length 22". Excellent condition. sold |
