May flowers

• Who she is: Rebecca Molaro
• What she’s wearing: Flowered hat from Dollar Tree, fuzzy knit purse from a yarn shop (it was a sampler for a felting class), shirt and skirt both hand-me-downs from a friend, socks knit by her mother and blue boots (“They’re [for] boys!” Rebecca notes, showing off the tractor imprints on the soles) from a thrift shop.
• Why we love it: A fashionista at a young age, Rebecca excels at pulling together her own outfits. This one plays off mismatched floral motifs but, instead of getting too cute — as is often the inclination with botanical prints — Rebecca adds tough boots and a black purse.
