At the fabric store the other day, looking for fabric to make a skirt (or dress), my sister looked at me like I was crazy and said, “What is that, Velvet!?” She expressed her opinion of me having my mind on fall when she was clearing enjoying her summer and was not ready for it to end.
I know that we are still in the sizzling season of summer, and don’t get me wrong I love the summer, especially #SummerTimeChi, but I guess I’m ready for fall now. This is what designers do, we’re always a season ahead (although Chicago really don’t have a fall season due to our wacky weather, we literally only have summer & winter)
There is always so much more to wear in the fall, for instance; velvet. I know we’ve seen velvet earlier this year, but I just can’t wait to wear it this fall. Whenever I see velvet it makes me think of fall. I love it when it’s done right. And looking at these photos of Zoe, Vanessa, and Rihanna in their velvet get-ups makes me anxious for fall. So yes lil sis, what your seeing here is velvet and it’s fabulous.
