What Dreams Are Made Of

Daydream Nation Spring Collection

You’re a real doll. You know it; they know it. Why not dress the part?

But walking the line between playful (Harajuku girls) and creepy (Malibu Barbie) takes serious skill. So we’re looking at daffy-but-cute Daydream Nation.

The vintage-inspired, tongue-in-cheek spring collection has a few pieces we can’t get over. The thigh-length, ruffled shorts are a ridiculously sexy take on pantaloons. The Love Gives You Wings top is a billowy creation you’ll live in. In His Shirt is an unexpected take on your boy’s checked button-down, with gathered sleeves and a pleat at the bust.

A crocheted chain necklace is any outfit’s crowning glory.

Without, you know, going over the top.

Available at Reward, 55 North Second Street (267-773-8675 or rewardproject.com). To see styles, go to daydream-nation.co.uk.
