This is one of my favourite tops, so I have no idea why I didn’t wear it much this summer. Well, if I was pushed to speculate, I’d say it might have something to do with the fact that it’s a bit … busy. A statement piece, as they say. It has a tendency to take over the outfit, and prove difficult to accessorize. Naturally, I decided to solve the latter problem by throwing another busy pattern (two, in fact) into the mix.

the clogs (still) have it

The clogs, on the other hand, work with everything. Even when they don’t (cuffed ankle jeans, anyone?), they still sorta do. Magic.

  1. Loving your prints the last couple of days, between this top and yesterday’s scarf and the cardigan the day before. Hope work is going well! You are inspiring me to wear more prints, that’s for sure!

    • Thank you! Work is great, I’m really happy to be back. Still working on getting used to new logistics, but I’m sure everyone will get settled soon.
