Loving an Unflattering Shirt

Shirt: thrifted (Avalon Exchange in St. Louis, Mo.)
Skirt: thrifted (Salvation Army)
Green corduroy boots: gift from a friend
Gold cameo necklace and gold leaf necklace: thrifted


Shorts: H&M
Cummerbund: thrifted
Seashell earrings: made by friend
Beaded bracelet: purchased at Paisley on Main in Glen Ellyn, Ill. (better photo here)
Wooden bracelet: thrifted
Tights: George from Walmart
Socks: Target
Boots: Bakers

This floral shirt is one of my very favorite pieces in my closet--and also one of the most ill-fitting. It has dolman sleeves that run down to the waistline, and the torso itself is very wide, so it makes me look boxy unless it's belted or tucked.

Still, I fell in love with the floral pattern instantly. (Surprising!, I know.) I scored it at Avalon Exchange in the Delmar Loop, which is a loud, well-organized shopping mecca for thrifters who like patterns. 

My favorite way to accessorize this shirt: with polka dot socks peeking out of boots. (I have a ton of 'em, thanks to Target.) My second favorite: this pink necklace, which was a gift from my mom.
