Not your Grandma’s florals

by thedemuremuse on February 7, 2011

First thing’s first: Look at how many colors there are on my shirt!! It’s ok. I was shocked too. haha I don’t think I’ve owned a more colorful shirt ever, but I couldn’t resist the floral print. When I bought the shirt, my shopping buddy said, “Ew! Are you serious?! You want a granny-couch-printed shirt?” The answer was obviously YES!!!

The sad thing is that I bought the shirt a size too big. I couldn’t try it on at the time since I bought it on Boxing Day (for $3!!) and the change rooms were closed to avoid huge lineups (or something lame like that). I figured for $3 I would just stick it out and not bother trying to exchange for a smaller size.

I know I originally said that I would have three pairs of jeans in my list of items, but I decided to break that down to only two pairs of denim and these amazing high waisted, super flared, nautical-inspired pants. These are actually my favorite pants for the spring because of their flowy legs and the forgiving cut! I only wish that the flared bottoms would be a little less flared… perhaps this calls for another sewing reconstruction?

    I agree with Kimmie – I want me some high-waisted button-tastic pants! They’re awesome. And I think the shirt being a size too big is sort of cool; it makes it a little blousier (Is that even a word?? Oh well.). In any case, cute outfit!

    Ooo, I love this outfit! :) Although I think the top and pants are pretty, the white cardigan is what completes the outfit babe. It totally brightens it up and gives it a great contrast. Well done m’lady! :D

    I think the super flare is super flattering! And the white cardigan was the perfect choice I think. So bright and happy :)

    I absolutely LOVE these pants! I have a very strong attachment classic 70s pants. Super tight thighs with outrageously wide bells. Though not super popular right now, I constantly scout for the super, mega flair! Embrace the Bell!

    XOXO,
