| Burberry Floral Shirt Thrifted Polo Ralph Lauren Knit Cardigan Lee Jeans Sperry Top-Sider Boat Shoes |
Now I'm not quite sure why this little line has struck a chord with me, but after acquiring a large collection of floral shirts during the summer break, I can't help but feel like she was talking directly to me. Am I being unoriginal wearing floral? Should I opt for plaid instead? Or maybe I should just go for the understated basics. Curse you Miranda Priestly for making me second guess my outfits! Luckily here in the southern hemisphere, we have now moved into Autumn and her words no longer echo in my head. (OK, I lied, the voices will never go away but now I feel less guilty about wearing floral patterns)
So when my friend suggested to go out for dinner during another day of torrential rain, I thought I'd be ironically original and wear my floral shirt in such gloomy weather. This particular shirt I chose has come under some harsh criticism, people tend to really dislike the pocket and comment on how it reminds them of pyjamas. Many friends have even suggested that I should unpick the seams and remove it all together! Only one person I've discussed this with actually likes the pocket and how it matches the detailing around the inside of the collar. So should I? Please voice your opinions and let me know what you think of the said pocket.

I love it!
ReplyDeleteand the pocket is sweet, I like the contrast between the two prints, floral being feminine and the stripes being the typically masculine print. While florals in spring may not be ground breaking they are definitely suitable for an Ironic Autumn outfit!
I love your shots as well, the photography style is beautiful.

I don't mind the pocket all that much :) The floral print is such a great way to brighten up dreary days and I love how you have styled this shirt with the clashing plaid cardi! :) Very original! Love this look :)
ReplyDeleteLove, Vanilla

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the comment and YES i think so too. Love the outfit!
ReplyDeleteand your floral shirt is totally not my style but i must admit it looks good on you! You have style ;D
I love your floral shirt, I need one! Seen this amazng one in zara, must get my hands on it and lol @meryl, loved that bit from devil wears prada! XX
ReplyDeleteyeahhhhhhhhhh...not sure about the pocket... I think I'd prefer it without it!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha I love reading your writing, you seem to be a fun person. It's okay.. we can always wear what we want to wear. And about the pocket? I hate it, go do whatever you can do to take it off. Even though it matches the detailing of the collar but seriously nobody can really get to see it. So what your friends have said is true, take it off! :D
ReplyDeleteI find this whole post funny and I appreciate your naturalness.
ReplyDeleteYou seem having great fun mixing and matching different patterns.
When you feel proud of the pocket you can wear the shirt in this way, when you prefer hiding it you can always put a v-neck sweater on! So problem solved!

What an awesome post! LOVED reading this! I like the pocket, I think it breaks it up, grabs your attention to itself and adds a little something more to a repetitive floral print.

Love this look! The contrast of the shirt with the cardi is great! I say keep the pocket! It is a little "pajama-ish" but I like the contrast with the floral!
