sweet william: luck of the irish. 280.

luck of the irish. 280.

sweater h&m, dress banana republic, belt intermix, boots piperlime,

st. partick's day turned out to be a beautiful day. it usually rains or snows on this holiday, but the sunshine brought out even more drunks than usual. (myself not included) i wanted to wear green to be true to my irish heritage, but did not want to do it in the expected way. i don't have a lot of green and it seemed it would be the perfect excuse to wear a spring-like floral print. since it is not feeling quite like spring, i needed to wear something over it. this sweater is one of my favorite winter pieces and i want to get a lot of wear out of is as a transitional piece before i put it away for the season. the drape of the dress and sweater and the slouch in the boot gave this look a slightly boho feel mixed with a little vintage. i felt great in this and i think it showed. as for the holiday, wearing green was the only way i celebrated. i worked and then went to dinner at bailey's and had fried seafood in honor of terry's sisters birthday. i guess it was almost like fish and chips..

In a world inundated by high-end and over-priced glamour and fashion, Ashley Jordan has successfully created a niche in the creative fashion industry that allows for anyone looking to shop on a dime look like a million bucks.

Starting originally as a thirty-day photo diary where Ashley challenged herself not to wear the same outfit more than once for a month without buying anything new, Sweet William has since emerged into a fashion and creative sounding board for Ashley to discuss new and old trends, ideas for piecing together used clothes for newer outfits, and tips for shopping for the look you want at a price you can afford.

The idea for Sweet William, the name, came primarily from the flower that is its name sake. But Ashley points out that the flower also draws a lot of parallels to her influence and style when it comes to design, noting that Sweet William represents organic, change, growth, and natural in both name and in design. In addition, Ashley says that above all else, the biggest inspiration for the name Sweet William comes from her grandfather, William, whom she admired greatly and was significantly influenced by.
