pastoral

one day, last week i decided it best to throw on all of the patterns. everything. head-to-toe. from top-to-bottom. patternsssssss! i blame spring. mother nature is all tarted-out in florals upon florals of all types of colours and shapes and sizes and it's making me drunk with excitement! sunshine! flowers! boys!

sigh.


floral blouse: thrift store
leopard cardigan: urban planet
plaid skirt: thrift store
polka dot socks: winners
tooled leather shoes: fluevog

(please excuse my shoddy photoshop pillow-removal job... that pillow was bright red and so distracting! *note to self: next time, remove the red pillow before photographing because you don't know how to fix it afterwards!)

I didn't even notice the pillow because I was mesmerized by the pattern mixing. This is very dignified pattern mixing, indeed.
