Not only do I <3 ribbon mucho, I also <3 anything reversible or with fun lining. Who cares if no one else will ever see the amazing pattern that my otherwise plain jane coat, shoes, or bag are lined in? I know it’s there, and it makes me happy. I know I’m not the only one. One of my BMs, whose style also tends toward the minimal and clean, also appreciates a surprise lovely lining or reverse that isn’t apparent at first glance. Yay for us closet pattern/color lovers.

So I present ribbon that is reversible, in some “of the moment” wedding color combos:

jcaroline creative is a GREAT source for lots of fun ribbon, although a bit on the pricey side. They also carry other crafty fun stuff including fabric, paper, and beads. It’s hard for me to swallow these prices after my trip to Fabric Barn last weekend (whose solid ribbon selection can’t be beat, but they don’t have too many fun patterns that aren’t too darling for my taste), though.

I found a ton of ribbon there that I’d like to add to my reserve for the wedding, but I must refrain as I want to keep most of my ribbon soft aqua/pool and solid. Some of the colors aren’t quite right, anyway. I think you should be able to sense a common denominator for most of these.

[Notice: top row, fourth over is the stuff I bought from Old Navy.]

And finally, reversibles in my colors (yes, the blue isn’t quite soft aqua, as seems to be the case over and over again. Plus they’re a little too “darling” and baby shower appropriate for my taste)!

With that, I’m off to finish my workday, board a red eye flight, have dinner with aforementioned BM on the Upper Westside, and go to a wedding in dirty Jersey on Saturday! See y’all on the flipside!
