Sunny Petal Set

Every edge is trimmed in butter yellow, like the rim of a plate holding a garden that refuses to sit flat. The flowers are raised, petals standing off the surface, so the set catches light and shadow as you move. A cropped cami with braided straps and a short skirt tied at the waist, the two belong together on a long, bright day, though the top alone over faded jeans says something quieter. The crochet sits light against the skin in an organic cotton blend. Made by women artisans, the petals scatter across the squares in a pattern that refuses to settle.
