I just got home from the dentist, so I'm not in the chattiest mood (arg, buses that wander through residential areas, you are the bane of my existence!). Let's just do the clothes.

The "This or That: Trends" for today are floral or tribal. I don't have many things in my wardrobe that would be tribal (maybe my tiki dress??), and I certainly don't have anything in my 30-item capsule that is even close. I went with floral.

I didn't have any florals in my capsule items, so I added them via accessories.

This is my cream tux jacket (last worn here with these same shoes), and of course, the fabulous mushroom skirt (last seen here, 2nd outfit). I'm wearing this skirt so much this month, it's down to $20 per wear! I'm also pleased to report that it washed beautifully in the machine (and I threw it in the dryer on delicate).

And on to the floral! I did flowers through 5 different accessories!

It's flower power time!

I had a lot of compliments from people on this outfit, from co-workers to people on the street. It surprised me somewhat. This skirt draws a lot of comments; people like maxi skirts!

But back to the accessories. Here, I'm showing off my shoes (yay, Fluevogs!) and my floral knee-highs:

These were a nice little pop of floral.

Here are the other four items:

My pink and green silk Smoking Lily obi (one of the prints on it is of a floral colour-by-numbers), this lovely hand-rolled silk scarf (this is the first wear of it - it was $7 and is vintage), my bigass white fake peony (a Le Chateau find from about a year ago), and my leather rose cuff that I got on consignment a couple of years ago.

I wore the scarf just knotted around my neck. I considered wearing it in my hair, but with being upside-down in the dental chair, that wasn't going to fly.

Jacket (Club Monaco, consignment), cami (Jackpot), skirt (Club Monaco), shoes (Listen Up O'Hara, Fluevogs), obi (Smoking Lily, consignment), peony (Le Chateau), cuff (consignment).
