IN A STATION OF THE METRO
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.
--Ezra Pound
I got this subway map-printed quilted hobo at TJ Maxx the other day to satisfy my craving for a fun printed map (and this one was a fraction of the price of those printed Longchamps bags!). The print reminded me of one of my favorite poems (see above) so I decided to put together an outfit inspired by the poem, which was perfect for today's rainy, grey weather. My Anthro floral capelet was perfect for the "petals on a wet, black bough" and I paired it with a column of black and my waterproof, grey patent boots. Flashes of gold and silver jewelry pop out from the dark background. I admit the subway tote is probably a little bit too light for the rest of the outfit, but I was totally enamored of the idea of dressing like the poem, so I just went with it.
Wearing: Anthro capelet, BR top and pants, Naot boots, Sydney Love bag, Ariane Arazi cuff bracelet, Etsy necklace.
