Verdant

 

It's been a cold, bitter winter this year and I've been yearning for warmer weather. And every year, the season has felt like it's getting progressively longer. Even the trees felt like they've taken forever to bloom. To scratch that itch, I decided to make something green, something floral. In the end, this outfit, at it's core, became a delightful and eclectic mishmash of Spring Festival and Midsummer Festival pieces. 

Speaking of Spring Festival, when was the last time I saw anybody use the Trellis-weave Cloak? Honestly, that may have been me in January 2015. That was just after the "Year of Blankets and Robes" cosmetic curse ended. Those cosmetics, their designs reminiscent of Victorian wallpaper, were difficult to integrate outside of their own sets. It's a shame that those barter rewards have largely gone unused.
