Difficult To Style
Posted: May 19, 2023 Filed under: Clothes | Tags: blue, blue linen skirt, brooch, brown, maroon heeled oxfords, plaid fold collar blouse, purple Leave a commentI have a few pieces in my closet that I always want to wear more, but they are a little difficult to style. Take this blouse, for example. I love the fold-down collar and the plaid, but the fit is sort of awkward, and I keep trying to pair it with different bottoms, but none of them really strikes me as the right silhouette. This outfit may be my favorite so far, since the long skirt helps to balance out the looser fit of the blouse, but it’s still not quite right. I guess I’ll just have to keep experimenting.

How am I supposed to get dressed in such weather? I’ve been putting my winter clothes away, only to have to bring them out again when another cold snap hits. So for now, this is the best that I can manage – what I call “spring top, winter bottom”. Just in case the temperature decided to shoot up again midday, you know.

And that means I’m starting to bring out my floral clothes and accessories. Is it a little basic? Yes. But I do love a bit of theme dressing, especially when it comes to my brooches, so I’ll keep doing it anyway.
