Birds of a Feather

9/13/2013

Oh, hello! :D I believe I had put together this outfit for brunch. It's kind of a mix of casual and formal with the bow pocket shorts, suit jacket and lace inset brogues. Just my cup of tea, actually. :P Also, this is going to be a bit of a short post, since you've seen most of these pieces, already. The only new things I'm wearing are my gold bracelets and my colorful bird blouse, both of which are from TIL Darling.

I wanted this bird blouse for such a long time. Finally, I just splurged and bought it. :D You gotta treat yourself, sometimes, right? Hehe. I love the double collar style. As you can see, I pushed the envelope ever so slightly with a triple collar look. The colors in the blouse are so calming. They remind me of the sky when the sun is setting, if that makes any sense? Really beautiful. I'll get a lot of wear out of this!

Floral Mixology

This is my second attempt at mixing florals and I decided to go all out this time. :DDD Here, I'm mixing four different kinds of floral patterns. This may sound crazy, but when I looked at the finished product, I wasn't exactly blinded. Haha. I think everything actually works, because of the overlapping color schemes and soft hues. Perhaps this is my way of remembering Spring/Summer as Fall draws near.

I got the pale yellow floral dress from a sweet girl in my clothing swap group. I never thought I would be into florals as much as I am now. It's a serious addiction and a friend of mine warned me about it. She said once I start filling my closet with floral patterns, I'll become obsessed. She was right. Haha.

I'm slowly trying to ween myself off of florals, though I have to say that I enjoy the challenge that comes from attempting to style floral patterns. The color scheme in the pale yellow dress reminded me of vintage wall paper. I love that! :D The wooden buttons and mandarin collar also add a retro flavor.

In addition to the yellow dress and blue skirt, I'm also wearing a pink skirt with floral lace trim underneath. I just felt like something was missing and when I scanned my closet for that special something, the lace trim of the skirt caught my eye and I knew it would be the perfect garnish. :P

The wingtip heels seemed to be a logical addition, as well, due to their neutral color. The only thing I'm on the fence about is my floral lace socks. I think cream socks would have looked better, but I just didn't have any. I definitely need to get a couple pairs of those. I hope the black socks still look OK!
