Hand-painted cuteness
By Jaydei Benmergui | June 10, 2007
sas-sa-fras (n) - an American tree, Sassafras albidum, of the laurel family, having egg-shaped leaves and long clusters of greenish-yellow flowers.
There. Your botany lesson for the day.
Following a FashCon notice I saw about these lovely flowery jeans, I went to look at this store, named Sassafras (weren’t you hoping that’s where I was leading with the random dictionary entry?). So far the selection is small, but filled with some sweet little hand-painted numbers.
If there are two truths in my (real and second) life, they are this:
1) Jay likes ducks.
2) Jay likes pirates.
So of course, in addition to the jeans (really, take a close look at them…the flowers are beautiful!), I had to snap up these tops. The Duckie tops are just too sweet for words…until you look closely at the Alternaduckie version (both are included in the same purchase, shirt layer) and realize there’s more to the top than just a pretty duck face. The light tones of the shirts make them seem very soft and worn, and make me think of the type of piece that you find in the sleepwear section of your favorite clothing store and buy with the intention of wearing as daily wear (oh c’mon, you know you’ve done it once or twice).
And then, the Haul Away Joe top. Now, remember my #2 truth? Yaaarrr. (I had to, sorry.) Pirate gear meets cutewear with this soft little number. Yes, it’s on the jacket layer, and has some very nice shading and detailing. The one thing I noticed about this top though, is that the skull-and-crossbones emblem seems to be a little faded. Well, I wore it while swimming away from my captivity from the evil pirates, and salt water wreaks havoc on cotton…what did you expect?!

Get your cutewear at Sassafras.
