It began with a skirt. The skirt was a ruffly tiered little number with a floral print design – a floral print skirt. More specifically it was the “Lucy” floral print miniskirt from Top Shop.
I decided to create a set on Polyvore around this floral print skirt. I was confused when I first dragged and dropped the skirt onto the design board.
“Wait a minute”,” I thought. “Didn’t they say this was a mini skirt?”
The skirt didn’t really look like a mini skirt on the design board. It looked like a full length ruffled tiered floral print skirt. Was there a mistake? I clicked on the picture of the skirt as shown in the items box. That picture showed a mini skirt but on the page that gives additional detail about the skirt the picture looked the same as it looked on my design board like a picture of a long floral print skirt. However in the description it stated that this was a mini skirt. Where was the error? I clicked the link to the store that sells the skirt to see how the skirt looks on their side of things. It looked like a mini skirt. They even had a picture of a mannequin wearing it and the hem fell to about three inches above the knee on the mannequin. So that solved the mystery for me. The skirt was indeed a mini skirt and the reason it looked like a full length skirt was due to a flaw in the program that preps the images on Polyvore so they can be used with a transparent background. Sometimes the aspect ratio of the images gets messed up by either being too wide or too long. Yawn yawn yeah I know you couldn’t care less about that.
So yeah it began with a skirt; and after the skirt a question. What color top do I want to pretend wear with this floral print skirt from Top Shop? I went shopping for tops and got drawn to a red silk blouse.
“This would make for a nice and colorful outfit I thought.”
I dragged the blouse to the design board.
Next I needed a jacket. I thought to look for a nice black blazer but while looking for a nice black blazer I saw this bright blue Ted Baker Peplum Blazer. I thought to myself no one with any fashion sense would pair a bright red silk blouse with a bright blue blazer but I like this jacket and I think it would look nice with this blouse and this skirt; so I dragged it to the design board.
Next to decide on the shoes and the bag. At first I tried some blue shoes but I thought nah maybe not blue. After trying blue I tried violet. The violet shoes I tried looked okay but something told me to go with black shoes and a red bag so I found some black shoes that seemed to me to go perfectly with the outfit Giuseppe Zanotti leather booties and I found a red bag and voila:
Saune – The Floral Print Skirt
