Hi Jyoti--
I hear you -- and thank you; obviously I have strong leanings towards the same inclination! I tend to wear peacock color combinations a lot.
IMO one of the best things about this fabric is the *slight* sheen to it. Not that I need more pics in this thread, but just for you I am including one in low natural light since it really brings out the iridescence that's so gorgeous in our inspiration creatures....
Hi Christieanne --
Thank you! I'm really happy to have added this given our unseasonally warm temps the past month. Easier to rationalize this and the blouse that started me down this path!
Hi Claudia --
So glad you like it (especially as I *think* you weren't sold on the more voluminous Periwinkle Pouf in all its incarnations/combos, ha). Luckily I managed to tame my natural impatience and held out on buying fabric -- almost caved on a "not in love, but in like" print -- but I too loooove this.
Hi Julie --
I surprised myself by liking it with the cuffed skinny jeans -- normally I am all about my bootcuts + heels for the leg line -- so thanks!
This and 2 pairs of dark bootcuts are it for my jeans wardrobe, but I do have a more faded denim pencil that may do the same thing as the cuff in terms of tones...appreciate the "hmmmmm"/reminder!
Since aside from maxi I don't go longer than below the kneecap with bare legs, this is more or less the maximum length I committed to when my sewist had scissors in hand! (There's some variation depending on whether I wear it front to back and how tight I gather the neckline.)
I will continue to play around with shorter lengths and asymmetrical and high/low looks, though -- started that with the peri blouse and thought it was lots of fun.
Hi Dianthus --
Many thanks! Know you have been working hard to build a spring/summer color capsule wardrobe so will appreciate how happy I am that these colors fit right in with older stuff. Proportions, though...always trial and error, sigh.
[Thought I had plenty of time to figure out summer work and play combos, though, and while I did wear it with brown blazer/boots/tights immediately freakish 80s/90 degree F temps mean I'm now scrambling through the closet for sandals/pumps and light-weight cardigans. Geez!]
