Ambrosia

You guys, ambrosia is pretty gross. I've never eaten it, but I don't think I have to have had the misfortune of ingesting it to know that it's gross. Just looking at it is enough. Well...that and also knowing what's in it. It's a fruit salad abomination that can include nuts, maraschino cherries, whipped cream, sour cream, cream cheese, cottage cheese, even marshmallows. I was watching Top Chef one night and there was a challenge where the cheftestants had to put a modern spin on crappy food from the 1950s-1970s. Thanks to Top Chef, I became familiar with the horror that is ambrosia. :F~

Picture

*sheds a single tear* I am...scarred for life. I will say that the colors represented in the salad can be quite pretty. Appetizing? No. Pretty. Yes, possibly. Heh. It is those colors that I saw when I found this vintage hand-made sweater at Little Miss Vintage Three on Etsy. You guys know how much I love weird sweaters, so of course I had to have this one with its colorful array of fruits and flowers. :D

I used the sweater as the foundation and built my outfit around it. I think the brown scarf, olive hat, light brown boots, orange high waisted shorts and yellow coat nicely compliment the sweater.
 
I don't think that there is a particular garment that stands out.
The colors work together harmoniously.

Did I just sort of pat myself on the back, because I put colors together in a more or less unoffensive way? o_O
Oh my Zeus. *ahem* Well. Moving on. Heh. You might recognize these high waisted shorts. I had them for sale in my Storenvy shop! People were adding the shorts to their love lists, but a year went by and no one bought them. I was pretty shocked. They were new with tags and too big in the waist on me. Every day that I had these shorts killed me, because I loved them. The sooner I could sell them, the better. However, as you can see, I got tired of waiting. I broke down and got them tailored. Now, they fit me perfectly and I can't imagine my closet without them. Consider the tags snipped. :P

Oh and one other thing you might have noticed: what is up with my tights, bro? o_O I wore a lighter pair of tights underneath for a frosty/ombre effect. Neat, huh? :D As much as I wanted to avoid adding black to this outfit, I kind of had to. However, to make up for it, I did this trick to lighten up the color. ^_^

Tribal print, polka dots, elephants and pom poms. I told you I'd deliver. Haha. >:D Don't get me wrong. On paper, this sounds horrible. Absolutely, positively horrible. On my body, though...it's cute, right?

Picture

....right? Riiiiiiight? :P Well, I really really like this one, so it's whatevs. Haha. Let me give you the deets! The colorful multi-pattern coat is one of my favorites, though, I don't get to wear it often due to matching difficulties. Hehe. I decided to not care too much about those difficulties, this time around. The bright yellow scarf paired nicely with the coat, I think. The colors are a bit off in some of the photos and I apologize for that. Perhaps there is a correlation between how nice the weather is and how much patience one has for adjusting camera settings. Heh. >_< The second photo above is true to color, IMO.

Picture

It was difficult to capture the print on the mint sweater due to the abundant sunlight. Where the hell has the sun been hiding all this time? o_O I was happy to see the bright light when I stepped outside, but it nevertheless created some photographing difficulties. So, again, my apologies!
You can see a much better and more true to color close-up below. Oh and I got the sweater from my clothing swap group!

Picture

Ahh, there we go. :D I know this is kind of messed up, but I really like this mix of colors and prints. Yes, it is in the realm of the unusual, but I like to think that about myself. I *am* pretty weird. Hehe. I don't think the mint and black is super offensive, though. It's just the crazy coat that brings the outfit to that next level of potential annoyance. I braved the cold to show you more of the sweater, below!

The super cute polka dot jumper is another item that I received from my clothing swap group. I really do love it, but it just doesn't fit me quite right. It's tight in the chest and the straps fall down, so I have to keep pulling them back up. An odd combination of issues, I know! So, you will most likely see this jumper up for grabs in my Storenvy shop, this Spring. I need to wait for warmer weather so I can take mannequin photos. Anyway, if you like the jumper, I'm happy to reserve it for you! Just contact me. ^_^
