Sometimes I choose to purchase pieces because they're sort of odd. Case in point: this shirt. It's a boxy plaid button-up which is basically the opposite of my usual style, but it had this other plaid peeking in the rolled cuffs and these bizarre sequin patches in the shoulders and those details intrigued me. The elements don't really seem to work together, but that's also what makes the shirt so interesting.Sometimes I choose to purchase pieces because they're sort of odd. Case in point: this shirt.

I love the sequin detail! You're right; it's so different.
ReplyDeleteI want your shoes too :)

I agree, the sequin detail makes this shirt! I have many items in my wardrobe that I have bought mainly because I admired the ingenuity of the designer, and not so much because it suited me or my style. It's fun, but sometimes a bit useless... :)
ReplyDeleteaww i love your grey skirt, and the shoes are perfect!!

It's kind of: "They don't, but they do" sort of feeling.

I don't know why, but this outfit makes you look really tall!

@jessica, yes I've posed here numerous times before; it's inside the moat.
ReplyDeleteThe shirt is very quirky. I personally would have been what on earth do i do with this? but you made a cute and fun outfit with it.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute outfit and the sequined details are very interesting. Who would've thought plaid and sequins would go so well together?! And those shoes are so cool. They're very 70s inspired but so modern with that super high heel.
ReplyDeleteI adore that shirt, especially the little details you pointed out! It's really inspiring some DIY at my end!

I love this outfit!xo
ReplyDeletehaha I couldn't agree with you more on being attracted to odd clothing. SO many times, I come across something and think "What?? This is so stupid looking. Actually, it's kind of interesting...." then ten minutes later, I can't stop thinking about it, and I realize "I LOVE IT AND NEED TO HAVE IT." Love the top. It's such a unique and original thing to have. And if you're anything like me and you DIDN'T buy it, you would be thinking about it forever haha.
ReplyDeleteThe low wide pockets was the first thing I noticed but the sequins are definitely the most awesome bit about this shirt :) The different plaid in the cuffs is awesome too. It 's definitely in the details! Awesome find :)
ReplyDeleteWow i love this shirt and especially the way you put everything together.....and yes i agree with "Lauren", this outfit makes you look taller INDEED! :)
ReplyDeleteI completely get that. I love all the different patterns, and textures on that shirt. It's unique, and the little details make it fun.

@Lauren & @dimitra, you know I actually think it's the low ceilings that are making me look tall...a measure of comparison.
ReplyDeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteInteresting shirt, I love your skirt! Nice pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteCheck out my blog: Principessa Gabriella

ReplyDeleteThe shirt is awesome! At a first glance, it looks like a plain plaid shirt, but the sequins and mixture of plaid definitely makes me go back for a second look. :)Love it!
