Instead I'm wearing my yellow merino boyfriend sweatshirt again. It is a gorgeous sunny day here and when I woke up I just felt like wearing yellow (plus I must admit I didn't realize that it was St. Patrick's Day until I saw strange people wearing green in the street). I am in love with this "honey" shade but I have to say that it looks richier on this sweater than on the ethereal merino cardigan, that also comes in honey (not that I own it, but I saw it IRL and I was a little bit disappointed).
Anyway, I thought that I would give the Liberty of London for Target Tiered Ruffle Keyhole Tank a try under this sweater:
I know, cute, you can go ahead and copy the outfit if you have both (it works better if you have long hair because it gets a little bit messy in the back, with the keyhole and everything);-). However I didn't wear it because I'm not 100% sure that I'm going to keep the tank. I find the ruffled neckline a little bit overwhelming (even worn backwards) and I have the dress in the same print coming my way. I think that if the dress fits well I will get more use out of it than the top in the summer. BTW, both the dress and the top are made in poly, not silk as I had previously thought (and wrote). However, it's a poly that does look more like silk than other styles in this collection.
But I did wear my BR purse (and it wasn't the first time). It's really the right purse for my needs (not to mention that I love it) and if my husband wants to offer me a Vuitton, he's more than welcome but I won't cry if he doesn't.
My husband is travelling this week, so you can expect another post this evening!
very cute idea Ema!
ReplyDeletei agree with you that the collar of the blouse is a little overwhelming,but the print is so cute!
ReplyDeleteyou made a good decision with the BR bag,it looks very "ema".
I am also waffling with this issue..it may go back. Plus, I like the idea of a cardi over my camis when it gets cool or I want to tone down the pattern. I also grabbed the dress but I feel like I should have gone XS and it's prob gone now. So I may go without any LOL clothing this time. I did get the home accessories file folders, 3 ring binder in this pattern-cute!
ReplyDeleteI do love the yellow sweatshirt, but like you, not a fan of the LoL shirt because of the collar. I just couldn't do it. The colors are pretty, but no. When i first opened up your blog, i thought you had the Jcrew "cotton candy" floral scarf around the sweater, and i wore my scarf today, only around a green cardigan:)
ReplyDeleteI'm still undecided about the cami too, Ema, for the same reasons. I love the print, but the collar just seems overwhelming. I tried the dress but the halter seemed to get on my nerves pulling at the back of my neck. Wish they had made this print in other women's clothing pieces -- and in silk or cotton.
ReplyDeleteI love the blouse, but I have such a hard time with ruffles. I'm also on the fence about keeping it.
