Today's outfit inspiration comes by way of the stunningly colorful Tobacco Leaf Plate. I have loved this pattern for a long time. It reminds me of the collection in my Grandparent's china cabinet that I would stare at from the time I was a little girl. Roosters and cherry blossoms rimmed in gold! What could be more exquisite?
Back to our Tobacco Leaf post, according to the Mottahedeh website, this one is a design whose style has been represented at least eleven different ways. Produced in 18th century China, 'it is a profusion in 27 colors and high fire cobalt, accented with gold'. Who, besides Carrie Bradshaw and me, wouldn't want to wear an outfit as bold and sophisticated as this plate? Well now you can, because Chelsea's thrown together a little fancy...
