Statement Floral Sophistication

The moment has come to finally showcase my hand-sewn silk flowers. Per usual, days have been moving swiftly, and I thought it was time to upload a few snapshots of this DIY. Since, finishing my little projects I have fallen in love with this cardigan even more than when I initially started working on it—finding many ways to style it. Afterward, I decided to playdown the cardigan with a simple playsuit!

The focus was primarily on the 3D inspired florals. I like how refined they looked, even though it was making a statement. I paired my contrasted playsuit with a Tee and let the flowers do the rest of work, style-wise. This outfit was fun to wear, especially throughout the day as I was running about for work errands. Many strangers, (boldly, well-dressed females) even stopped to ask me, "Where did you buy that cardigan?" It was a nice surprise, and even better that I took one opportunity to chat a bit longer with one of the stylish strangers.

By the third person enquiring about the floral cardigan, I deeply inhaled a massive breath of fresh air, then silently shouted to myself, "wait, where are your business cards!" Of course, this was all done inconspicuously, otherwise it may have looked as if I had gone mad! Not to fret, all is well and good. I was happy that I did not change handbags that day, otherwise I think the backup business cards would have been missed!

Fortunately, there's a definite client who has already confirmed, paid, and signed on the dotted line for a Madison creation. And, to think, all of this random fortune with me merely wanting to do something a little different with my clothing! But, this is how it usually starts with me, as I am always modifying garments.

To be honest, due to work and having no time to fully commit to a store or other boutiques like I used to, I have not actually been pondering about getting back into designing. However, lately a good handful of appreciators have been making me entertain the idea once again. But, don't quote me on that ... we shall see!

I hope that you enjoy my floral sophistication here. Stay tuned, because you know there's always more inspiration to come!
