What is it that has me posting two carnival inspiration boards in a row? All I can say is that it’s summer, it’s hot, and I think everyone can use a dose of fun no matter what. Stripes seem to be a recurrent theme this week, as well – maybe they’re the new damask, which would be alright by me! Oh, and how about these cute dresses for your flower girls?
Mood: vintage carnival whimsy
Palette: old fashioned candy
