What Dreams May Come

5/29/2014

Floral crown? What?! Yeah, man. This JUST happened. Well, actually this happened last week. Haha. I wore this outfit to brunch and then my partner and I went for a bike ride. I posted a photo of me with my bike on Instagram and the outfit was so well received that I decided to take better photos of it and put them up on the old blog. So, here you go! Also, in my defense, the floral crown was free. :D

Oh man, I look so girly. Bah! >_< Haha. If I remember correctly, I got the over sized cream cardigan from the men's section of a local vintage shop. The floral top I'm wearing is a dress. Yup! :D You last saw me wearing it in this previous post. When I was getting ready and my partner saw me in the dress he said it was cute and asked if I was going to wear that out. I was like 'yeah...but not quite.' Haha. I just really liked how the pale yellow and florals looked with the high waisted grass green shorts. ^_^

I think these almond sandal flats went well with the outfit, too. I couldn't really think of any other color that would compliment the pale yellow, green and pastel florals. For casual sandals, these shoes look so smart/sophisticated. They're also super comfy and easy to bike in. I'm really happy with them.

Here's a nice closeup of the colors in my dress and the actual color of my shorts. You can even make out the belt loops at the sides of the dress. Haha. This outfit may be a bit jerry-rigged, but I'm cool with it. When I look at my closet, I see a range of possibilities. I refuse to wear clothing in a singular way.

Earlier I mentioned that I got the floral crown for free. I used my Chic Points on Chictopia to purchase it. I never thought I would wear flowers in my hair. I had just resigned myself to live vicariously through other bloggers who did that sort of thing. Haha. I think I look like a goof ball, but some part of me just felt like the outfit could use some extra sweetness (as if it isn't cloying enough already haha). <3

Oh and that's just my pet octopus, Jerry. He likes to hang out and what not. ^___^

I actually really like the floral crown. Daisies are something I haven't seen in a crown before and it works perfectly with this lovely outfit.

Thanks! I feel like a total goober when I wear it, but I'm already thinking about some unconventional outfits to pair with it. Maybe once I can do that, I'll feel better. Haha. <3

I'm always so inspired when I see you doing cool layering things- like wearing a dress as a shirt. I wish it wasn't 90 degrees here, and I would totally try it out myself. Also, I love how sweet this outfit is! The floral and flowers in your hair definitely add a really girly touch (:

Anna

Aww, thank you! *^_^* Yeah, it's pretty brutal right now with the humidity. I can't believe how hot it is now. I thought it would be cold forever. Haha. If I'm determined to wear a layered look, I just try to use breathable and light fabrics. It's totally doable! <3

I love how you are able to rock black gothic scary and then equally rock feminine floral and girlie! :D Serious props to you to be able to successfully pull off so many different looks! Sure you may feel like a goofball, but the flower crown looks great on you! So SPRING-Y!

And the GREEN shorts! I need them in my life. :D

I'm a conundrum. Haha. >_< <3 Sometimes, I'm afraid that my style will be viewed as haphazard because I don't have an underlying thread that connects them all. I dunno. It is what it is. Thanks, babe! <333

Oh wow, you can actually use chicpoints for stuff? I just always thought it was just arbitrary numbers. Well, I like the flower crown and the girly-ness of the look. Sometimes it's good to switch it up!

Hahaha. Yeah, I totally caved. Not particularly proud of that bit, but I'm determined to twist the trend around and use it for my own sinister purposes. Hehe :D <3

Loving this more girly outfit. It's a bit different than what I've come to expect from you, but you look great!!

UM and a floral crown?! I am still so on the fence about those, but yours is really cute!

Girly, but it doesn't mean not beautiful - on the contrary! Very beautiful! I love floral prints and I love green very much! The sandals are also lovely and at first I didn't see it was an octopus, that's so cute! As usual, very nice pictures! I hope you have a great weekend! denisesplanet.com

So I've been moving into my first house, painting, and organizing, and I've taken a break from the blogging world because of so much going on. I got back on here today and went to your page and, I have to say, I hate this I've been gone these past few weeks because YOU ARE BRINGING IT fashion-wise.

I spent a good half-hour going back through your posts and drooling on your layering and choice of color and print. I feel like you are taking your love of quirk to a whole new level with some intense colors and i love it! Keep on keeping on, lady.

Also, love the wearing-of-a-dress-as-shirt. Makes it easy to get more wear out of a piece. ;)

love,
a
