I skipped my usual denim for Casual Friday and played with texture instead, with this Amazing New Shirt:
The greens are a little washed out there (with the change of seasons, my lighting in the den changes). Trust me, they are a lovely heathery green.
I fell in love with this shirt the minute I saw it in the consignment store. Thank god it fit!
I am a majorly detail-oriented person, so this shirt fed my passion. Back details:
Inigo approves of the patent red boots.
Look at these fabulous details:
Two different complimentary trim patterns (sleeve and that's the hem flipped up on the left side), embroidered flowers, pretty trim at the back of the neck, flowers on one side of the collar!
Pretty flower on the snap!
Pretty flower on the snap!
Adorable zig-zag stitching on the puff sleeves...with rivets! Rivets everywhere!
And on the back...
I am Queen of Faeries! This shirt is like an orgasm of details. It goes to 11.
I was quite pleased with all my accessories, especially the red boots (there's also a reddy-pink cami under the shirt that peeked out). Some guy on the bus said, "Nice boots!" What is it about compliments from strangers? They always feel so good.

ReplyDeleteHave you seen 'Anvil! The Story of Anvil' about your co-Canadians? at one point this middle-aged metal band decides to put out one last 'do-or-die' album produced by some big-time guy in britain...so in one of the shots in this big-wigs studio you can see a dial on one of his pieces of equipment that goes from 1 - 11! oh god we were laughing!
that blouse looks great on you too!! Yay Friday!!
Steph, I LOVE Anvil - great movie. And of course, I am a huge Spinal Tap fan.
