THE PRINT
Ruby Bonnet
Ruby Bonnet takes its name from its red caps, yet the print recasts it in cool pale blue and turquoise, slender stems catching light against the ivory ground. Small as the real mushroom is, the print gives it a long reach, trailing the full length of the skirt.

THE COLOUR
Base: Ecru
Print: Baby blue, Turquoise, Green
Sash: Ecru

THE STORY
Reckless Ericka's Flutter Sleeve Dress in Ruby Bonnet, from the UNDERSTORY collection, sets a V-neck, button-down bodice against a full A-line skirt in long tea length. Flutter sleeves with a printed cuff keep the shoulder light, while box pleats placed all around the waist release into the skirt's volume. A detachable sash can bring the waist into sharper focus or sit looser for more ease. Ruby Bonnet, red in the wild, turns up here in pale blue, turquoise and green, its thin stems stretched into long vertical trails that run the full length of the skirt.

For Work
Cinch the waist with a brown leather belt neatly through the side loops and pair the dress with pale blue or ivory slingbacks, a structured cream bag and small silver earrings. The open V-neck and flutter sleeves need very little added at the top.

For Night Out
Draw the sash in more firmly and introduce shine with a silver kitten heel, crystal drop earrings and a compact metallic clutch. The cool Ruby Bonnet palette looks especially sharp against reflective accents.

For Weekends
Wear the belt looser and add flat ballet shoes or leather sandals with a soft woven bag. The full box-pleated skirt already has generous movement, so keep the rest light, simple and tactile.
