Mandakini: inspiration monday: bloomers!

surprise, surprise, i went thrift shopping this weekend. i found what only can be described as the most fabulous green bloomers in the world. i saw them on the rack, grabbed them, and didn't think twice. they are so cute and i plan on making them a summer staple. and the cherry on the ice cream was that they were half off....half off $1.99. yep, these bad boys were $1. i love them even more.
