I was re-reading the Top 10 that clothing designer Lindsey Thornburg did for us last night, meditating on her favorite Tarot Card set and coconut moisturizer (the packaging alone justifies the buy, IMO), and decided that I needed to give her Hippie Slit pants a closer look. (They’re pretty appealing if you crave the breeziness of shorts but don’t want to actually show your legs.) Which of course, led me to a deep dive into her own e-commerce site. I’ve wanted one of her custom-made cloaks for years, but I’ve never really taken the appropriate time to check out her dresses. And holy crap, have I been missing out. Granted, I don’t have a grand to spend on a one-of-a-kind dress right now, but isn’t this flame-hued version just kind of amazing? It literally made me choke up a little bit. (Is that weird?)
