Mulberry

4/14/2015

I've been inspired by fruit! O_o o_O Have you ever eaten a mulberry? They're awesome! They have a color similar to a blueberry, but with more light and dark variations. The texture is bubbly, like a raspberry.
Anyway, I came across some photos of wild mulberries and, after that, I just couldn't get their colors out of my head. So, what you have before you is the product of that relentless fixation. Hehe.

The floral tunic paired with the high waisted navy corduroy shorts seemed like a no-brainer. I don't know why I haven't worn them together, until now. It was a little bit chilly, so I wore a vintage wool cardigan over the tunic. When I first saw the purple cardigan with those little gold buttons, I just had to have it. At the time, I didn't give any thought to how I would wear a purple cardigan, though. Haha.

So, when I got the cardigan out of the closet and it still had tags on it, I sighed. >_<
I think it had been in there for over a year. F*cking tragic. I think the cardigan adds wonderful retro charm to the overall outfit, so I'm glad that I finally got a chance to wear it.
I hope it won't be too long before I wear it, again. <3

Oh and I have a new hat! It belonged to one of my partner's relatives who passed away in the 80s. I haven't had a chance to research the brand name on the inside, but my best guess is that the trilby is from the 60s. It's a wee bit small for my bowling ball head, but omgosh do I cherish it. It's fantastic!

Yep. ^_^ I hope you like this rather simple outfit. I wore more or less simple styles over the past several days. I'm trying to get back into that, since it's getting warmer. Simple is so hard for me to do, but I think the colors of this outfit; the mix of textures with the corduroy and wool; the subtle floral print; and the super cute hat add the right amount of aesthetic interest. I even resisted wearing tights! *proud* ^_^

I never ate a mulberry, but if you say it's good, I believe you! I love corduroy, and cardis! So I again loved one more of your outfits - these shorts are very sweet, the color especially and I loved the cardi and the belt with the sweet detail, a bow :) The shirt is great, cause I love floral prints! The hat is nice too, so good that you "inherited" it, I bet the one who owned it is happy wherever he is, seeing it i so well worn! Looking always beautiful, dear Anna, and nicely styled!

Awww. Yeah, I hope so, too! From what I hear, he was a very kind soul. I'm sorry that I never got a chance to meet him. <3

Oh my gosh, you are SO darling in this outfit! I love scalloped edge shorts! I really like how you got the belt to make a little bow, too! I always feel bad for any pieces that just sit in my closet, never worn. I've got a few pieces right now that have either only been worn once or never worn, and I'm always filled with guilt the second I look at them. :( One day...

Hehe. Thanks! I try! *^_^* I can't be little miss scary all the time, even though those outfits are probably my best ones in terms of showcasing creativity with fabric manipulation. I want to try to be just as creative with less fabric. <3

Seems a perfect spring outfit- shorts to celebrate the warming weather, but a cardi for those cooler breezes!

Exactly! Though, I started to regret not wearing tights, because the wind picked up later in the day and it was a cold wind. Hehe.

I've never eaten a mulberry but I do love the color! I love how the cardigan and shorts make the shades of purple and blue in your top pop :)

Woohoo, no tights! Is it that warm there? I envy you so much right now >.<
Aaah yes, mulberry, I fucking love them, they complete me :D As kids we used to eat a ton of them and then our hands turned all black and icky. Love the purple cardi, haha, we're purple cardi sisters :D Why haven't you worn it? It looks amazing on you and with the new vintage hat, ohmygosh, simply stunning ^_^

Yeah, dude! It's supposed to be around 60F all week! :D It's the rainy season, now, though. So, we still have a lot of cold, windy, rainy days, but at least the snow is gone. Hehe.

Ehhh, because I'm picky probably. Haha. Ever since I started my blog, my style has improved dramatically. I think more carefully about the things I do with my clothing and I try to be creative whenever possible. As a result, I find myself refusing to wear certain things, if I can't make them look exactly how I want them to look in the outfit. I can be really stubborn and ridiculous. Haha.

Lol to 'Simple is so hard for me to do.' I understand Anna -you love the complicated layering thing. See I find that layering hard, so maybe we can tutor each other. You treach me layering and I teach you simple. Hahaha...
You look great :)

OHEMGEEEE!! I fudging love this whole outfit!! You know which shoes would've gone even more perfectly? These ----> http://www.melodicthriftychic.com/fashion-blog/previous/5 but actually that might have been a bit too matchy matchy and I know you love your clashes :)

Haha. Omgosh. I totally thought about wearing those! I had a few black shoes in mind, actually. I felt like the tassel loafers were a bit too dressy/formal looking for the outfit. So, that's why I went with the low key oxfords. :P <3

This is probably one of the simplest outfits I've seen you rock. I love it! The colours and textures are just amazing. I love the scallop hem of the shorts, the floral print on your top and the stunning colour of your cardigan, not to mention the gold buttons. I've never had mulberries before but I love this inspired outfit.
