Knit Picks

Lia Molly Spring Knitwear Collection

You haven’t always had a stellar reputation. Your freshman fifteen combined with your Bourbon Street hijinks earned you the nickname The Big Easy.

This Mardi Gras, cover your boobs with more than beads: Go with Lia Molly.

The knitwear line takes its cues from the sights, smells, and sounds of New Orleans. (The rarefied, quirky parts, not the pukefest that is The Quarter.)

Hide your lady lumps in the feminine Vera jacket in a mod lemon and white daisy print. Put them on display in the mandarin Thalia dress with an eye-catching floral midsection. Or draw attention downward when you wear the high-waisted Jenni skirt with big button detailing (coming in March).

The whole collection, which comprises mostly tops, is one part French whimsy, one part Southern belle. Think Scarlett O’Hara meets Amelie.

And let the good times roll.

Available at Nomad, 1741 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge (617-497-6677 or nomadcambridge.com). To see styles, go to liamolly.com.
