Secondly. I mean this is a bit of a wacky print for someone who doesn't prints or patterns at all. Its flowers! And Pink! And Periwinkle! Every time I see this baby in my closet, I shake my head at it and wonder to myself "WHO bought that?" LOL.
Well, I really wanted to make this blouse work, so I wore this:
Black Velveteen Jacket - Chadwicks $12.50 after coupon
Silk Blouse - Macys - $12
Black and Grey Herringbone Pants - Limited $17
Boots - Etienne Aigner via Bealls $25
Whats the problem with the blouse?
A "blousy" fit and I felt like the pattern belongs on another person.
Did my solution work?
Not bad, I didn't feel ridiculous in it.
Will it make another appearance?
Magic 8 Ball says: Very Doubtful.
LOL! Actually, I think the 8-ball is right. I think it looks ok - but it doesn't feel like me. :-)
I applaud you for pulling out those just because purchases and wearing them. Mine usually end up at Goodwill after 3 years of languishing in my closet unworn.
ReplyDeleteI love this look! The jacket adds the structure you were looking for and the colors are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you don't like this because you look great. I love tiny patterns like that, and the jacket really gives it a nice definition. Please try it again, it's adorable on you.
ReplyDeleteNika - Lol! Me too. I clean out my closet quite often too, so these are guys that for some reason just keep hanging on. These have come in and out of the giveaway pile, I don't know hoe many times.
ReplyDeleteWatergirl - thank you! I love this jacket too.I think it will see a lot of use.
I love the look and you made the shirt work really great.
ReplyDeleteI supose it's a bit more girly girly than you usually do.
But if you don't feel 'yourself' when you wear it I would probably give it away.
Just stumbled on your blog - this is a great ensemble! I love it - don't be scared of the print. :)
