And then you discovered a matching bag! And a dress!So you bought them all. And put them all on! At once!
And you looked something like this (biggen photo for better view of the prints! the happy sunny prints!):
That would be:A. Fabulous! Moderation is for sissies.
B. Hilarious. You should do it just to amuse others.
C. Wrong. So wrong! Your shopping privileges should be revoked.
Happy (rainy) Monday!
I'm towards B, but stuck between B and C.
ReplyDeleteIs that from Target? I got a lampshade and a frame (in other prints). I wanted that bag you got, but they had already sold out! Little jealous.
For me? C. For you? A! You can carry it off. What, no matching shoes?
ReplyDeleteB if that's your purpose, but otherwise, C. Love the shoes with any one of them, though.
ReplyDeleteA. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I would probably be perfectly fine with wearing the hat and the dress together, especially if there was an adorable green cardigan involved. The bag is probably something I'd carry with an otherwise monochromatic outfit (like a grey sheath accessorized with an awesome green belt or necklace).
But on you? A.
Dude, you can pull it off. Also, I think you're awesome. And? I fucking love your shoes.
ReplyDeleteIt's a toss up between B & C. It is pretty over the top... But really? Even over the top, you still look cute and it kinda goes with your personality (in a good, funny way). The shoes are amazing!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I'd maybe do two pieces, but I tend to be more conservative anyway. The shoes are just fantasticamazingiwantthem!!!!
ReplyDeleteA...
ReplyDeleteand I think this is the first time in my life I've said this, but I like the shoes. :-)
you're hilarious! like you, when i find a pattern i like i buy everything i can in it. unlike you i'm not nearly bold enough to pull them all off at once.
ReplyDeleteso my answer is D - kudos for buying them all! i dig it. however wearing them together isn't for the weak... maybe adding in a few more non-patterned solid color elements? a cardi? bracelet? i can definitely see you working this. and if not you can wear one piece each day and still get to show off the fun print all week long!
A, A, a thousand times A!

ReplyDeleteMostly B. But totally agree with Dagny's take on the hat and dress together. And the pic of you in the hat is the most. adorable. picture. ever.
ReplyDeletewhat shoes are those? they're so pretty! please share asap :)
ReplyDeleteI think I saw a coat in that print at Target :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with lacochran...A and the answer is different for me than for Lisa because you're the epitome of Spring!
ReplyDeleteJennifer - I love that you can't decide between amusing others and wrong, so wrong. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Target! I wanted a frame and they had none! I'm so disappointed at how fast things sold out.
lacochran - Ohhh, if they had matching shoes, believe me, I would now own them!
Wendy - Ha, thanks. Self-amusement and enjoying the sunny print is mostly my purpose with this. And thanks - I got the shoes last spring and then got too huge to balance in them.
Dagny - I love you for being so solidly A! I am pretty psyched to carry the bag with everything. I think it's my new neutral.:)
Hillary - Thank you thank you!
Kate - I know, it's totally over the top. But I do enjoy it. I really might put them all on for real the next warm day.
Susan H - I got them last year at DSW. They aren't comfortable, but I love them.
VVK - You really made me laugh with this.
notosjenny - I like D. Answer D suits me fine. And doing one piece a day would be cool with me, too.
A.S. - My kingdom for an A! :)
Jen - Thank you! What a nice compliment!
Anonymous - They're a brand I'd never heard of - 704b. I got them last year at DSW. I just googled and they don't have these but there's a really cute pair of pumps: http://www.dsw.com/dsw_shoes/search/search.jsp?searchTerm=No.+704b.&_requestid=121457
Kristin - Ohhhh! If I'd seen a coat, I would have gotten that as well!!!
HKW - That's one of the BEST compliments I've ever gotten! Thank you, sweetie!
ReplyDeleteI'll now dream about those shoes.
ReplyDeleteOn you, this looks fabulous! On me? Not so much. That hat is the perfect shape for you!
ReplyDeleteWill Nick really let you leave the house wearing this emsemble? I have to go with Dagney on this one a little solidity to break the pattern would be good. But I think A because you are cute a quirky and can pull this shit off like nobody else I know.
ReplyDeletePS I covet your shoes :-)
PPS This emsemble really says "I am so over winter bring on the fun in the sun." :)
ReplyDeleteis that the liberty of london stuff from target??? i wanted some plates but they are all sold out online, grrrr.
ReplyDeletei'm with b until you've sufficiently annoyed people, then c.
cute print!
Lis, don't get me wrong, I really like the pattern. But on one piece, it's "ooh, cute pattern!" whereas with all of the pieces going at once, it's "WHOA! PATTERN!" But if anyone can pull it off, you can. :)
ReplyDeleteI heart you Lisa! You just made my day! You re freaking funny!
ReplyDeleteB!
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to go with B. But, if I were to wear it, I would give myself a C. Maybe a just have too much of a New York influence that causes me to skew to black/grey/navy though.
ReplyDeleteAnd, you look adorable.
I'm totally going with B on this one. I'd do it to amuse people. :)
ReplyDeleteI vote B. That hat is FANTASTIC.
ReplyDeleteI love B. and it's pretty ridiculous that you still look cute in it. really, you should just be ashamed of yourself.
ReplyDeletekiran
HaHAAAA!!! Oh A, without a doubt!
ReplyDeleteJennie - Not to mar your dreams, but they are uncomfortable to walk very far in. They're sitting shoes. So pretty, so not comfy!
ReplyDeletekayare - I love the hat! Love love! Thank you!
Go-Betty - Nick would totally let me out of the house in this. He sees the humor in it, and actually, he doesn't get embarrassed by outfits (the way I do when he's wearing something that's just a NO).
And yes! I am so over winter! I just want sun and warm weather and flowers!!
mrsmac - Yes - Liberty for Target. What pisses me off is that it's been out for how long? A couple weeks? And they don't have anything online and very little left in stores. Grr.
Wendy - Oh, I know exactly what you mean. That's what I like about it. It's so overwhelming all together. It's one of those Fashion Don'ts! in magazines.
Lori - I'm glad to hear that! Hugs to you!
Stacy - Cool!
Christine - It's true that it's definitely not a NY sophisticated look, that's for sure. But I like how hilariously fun it is.
Jenny - I think when it's warmer I will get out and about in it and see what people do.
Jane - I LOVE the hat. They have it in pink, apparently, and I want it in pink, too!
Masala Chica - Um, OK, I'm ashamed! Very ashamed! :)
Miranda - Ah, thank you! Why am I not surprised you totally support A?
Lisa, you look amazing, very few women (and even fewer men) could pull that look off.
ReplyDeleteHowever, darlin', as a long-time reader, I'm forced to to point out your post from Sept. 5, 2008, about a certain gold jacket owned by your husband. You have, officially, lost any right to ever complain if he ever wants to wear it in the future.
On me, it would be "C" - bizarrorama. On you, it's option "A" - Adorable!
ReplyDeleteI want to be you when I grow up.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, what? I was distracted by your SHOES SWEET BEAUTIFUL SHOES.
ReplyDeleteLisa, This blog post is still making me laugh......4 days later. Bahahaha
ReplyDeletePlease wear all three, every day in April. I might be coming south and this way it will be easy to spot you.
