F is for florals...but not just any florals...fall florals!
I sang the praises of said motif as recently as 3 weeks ago, when I wore this very same blouse.
Ordinarily I'd consider today far too soon for a repeat of such a
statement-making piece, but for fall florals, which can only be worn
about three months out of the year, I'll make an exception.
I
tried to change up the look as much as possible for this iteration; I
swapped pants for a skirt, brown for red, and boots for flats. I also
found in my collection a very coordinating set of earrings, in their own
muted shades of green and yellow.
I
wore this outfit happily all morning, but when I went to take a
bathroom break around 11 o'clock, I discovered to my horror that you
could see my black bra right through the shirt! F for fashion fiasco!
I
keep a backup stash of clothing at my desk, in case of accidents,
spills, and the sudden need to go somewhere unexpected right after work.
I don't keep a beige bra in this collection (though I probably should;
this is the second time that I've had to dip into my stash and really
wished it included a bra), but I do have a black top with a lace short
sleeved overlay and a tank-style liner. In my moment of need, I decided
to sacrifice the shirt and snip off the overlay so I could layer the
liner under my blouse (it was too bulky to just wear the whole shirt
underneath).
A second spin in the bathroom mirror revealed my look to be much more office-appropriate. F for Fast Fix!
