Crazy or cute?

I love a nice, slouchy, zippered v-neck top, and this one is rather lovely, what with the perfectly-cut three-quarter sleeves and all. And the print—so distinctive. Is it a floral? Some sort of paisley, perhaps?

Why it’s dots and tigers! But of course!

    I’m gonna go out on a limb.
    Crazy? $340 for a blouse!
    Cute? Sure!

    Cute, but you’ll hate yourself in the morning:)

  5. Mauimermaid says:

    LOVE it – I want to buy it, right now

    Please Kim, don’t do it. Emperor’s New Clothes redux. Save yourself the cash and get the other version at Zara on sale.

  7. Kamila says:

    So CUTE
    but I would usually not spend that much for a blouse.

  8. Dana says:

    Crazy cute. I seriously want that.

  9. Donna says:

    The way I say it is, “cute, but not $340.00 cute”.

  10. Meagan says:

    Cuuuuuuuuuuute.

    And my guilty pleasures are whittled away, one by one: Chick-fil-A, Real Housewives….. If I could afford, a $340 blouse, I could console myself with that!

      I’ve weaned myself almost entirely, but don’t know how we’re supposed to stay away from those Jersey housewives and their families, presidential edict or not. That’s just solid entertainment.

  12. Anne says:

    (Sorry. That should be: if I could afford (no comma)a $340…….)

    Cute—from afar. But once you’ve seen it up close, crazy. Flat-out crazy. Even at $34 it would be crazy. You’d buy it and never wear it.

    I can see how the concept is good, but for me, the execution is too orderly, and I have a visual allergy to that for some reason. If it had irregular dots and a scruffier tiger, maybe. Maybe in person I’d like it better.

  15. that’s totally adorable. I’d wear it. In fact, I have a dress with beetles on it. The Milly dress that was popular last year, except I found the silk by the yard and made it myself.

    • Viajera says:

      May I ask, where did you find it? I love to get good fabric intel.

      • Melody Mcfarland says:

        I found it on gorgeous fabrics. I follow Ann, the owner,on Facebook and happened to be online when she posted that she got in just a few yards of the Milly beetle fabric. She periodically gets leftover milly fabric but you have to be on top of it because it sells out instantly. Have you tried fabricmart.com? I am fortunate enough to live near their store. Fabulous garment fabric at outrageously cheap prices.
