Daily Outfit for Tuesday, May 28th
I’m pretty sure the pattern of this blouse is taken directly from nature:
Admittedly, I haven’t done a lot (any) traveling in equatorial nations, but surely somewhere, some very, very remote somewhere, there is a zebra-leafed hibiscus plant. And this plant is probably worshipped for its healing powers, or because it makes a tasty, if slightly hallucinogenic tea, or because it makes a deadly dart tip even deadlier. Whatever its use, I’m sure the elusive zebra-leafed hibiscus is completely awesome. Just like the blouse it influenced.
As I said the first time I wore this blouse, I recognize it’s a bit kitsch, maybe even tacky, but I love this darned thing. This time I paired the blouse (vintage, thrifted) with a high-waist, midi-skirt (thrifted), my new wedges (G by Guess via Piperlime) and, taking some advice from Reader Ismay, I added a long necklace (gifted?). I also added my trusty cuff (thrifted) because it’s trusty.
Remember, it’s not tacky if you love it!*
Gracey
*Like much the “advice” dispensed here on Fashion for Giants, I’d take this with a grain of salt if I were you.
