Forgot to mention I also bought some matching socks which I’m wearing here. This is about as maximal &amp; colourful as I get these days. My friend was wearing her new Boden jumpsuit (first one she’s been able to find in a Tall size!) so we took a picture of our coordinating looks. We also went into a maximal design &amp; decor shop where they were thrilled to have us as we blended right in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-in-may---marimekko#post-2361955 Sun, 02 Jun 2024 00:30:34 +0000 Jaime 2361955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-in-may---marimekko#post-2361931 Sat, 01 Jun 2024 11:13:08 +0000 winterrois 2361931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore Finnish design, big and bold with beautiful patterns.

I love Finnish design, and have long admired Marimekko, but this is my first garment of theirs. I do have Marimekko patterned plates &amp; bowls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-in-may---marimekko#post-2361913 Fri, 31 May 2024 15:15:18 +0000 Suz 2361913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the tee! Super fun. I'm with you on the patterns. I adore them, but find them overwhelming as a rule. But in a smaller item it can absolutely work.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good for you for keeping to your goals and for building a wardrobe that is working so well for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-in-may---marimekko#post-2361911 Fri, 31 May 2024 14:34:17 +0000 Jules 2361911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi <b>Jen</b>, yes they seem to have collabs fairly often, and agreed about the price point - most of Marimekko's licensed items with other brands seem priced very high, down to things like mugs, but Uniqlo keeps it reasonable. It's worth keeping an eye on. And forum member<b> Irina</b> has been inspirational on how to mix the maximal prints into a more minimal wardrobe! </p> <p>Here's an example of a previous drop:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://divine.ca/en/uniqlo-x-marimekko-2024-new-years-collection/">https://divine.ca/en/uniqlo-x-.....ollection/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-in-may---marimekko#post-2361909 Fri, 31 May 2024 14:27:56 +0000 Jen 2361909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has Uniqlo paired with Marimekko before? I wasn’t aware. I adore Marimekko. It goes back to my mom who was a big fan and had things in our childhood rooms, from curtains to throw pillows, in their patterns. Today all I have is a Marimekko umbrella. But that is one smashing shirt! Their stuff is also quite pricey on their own site, so a collab seems very welcome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-in-may---marimekko#post-2361908 Fri, 31 May 2024 14:25:53 +0000 Star (Lise) 2361908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this top! Well done on managing your goals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-in-may---marimekko#post-2361907 Fri, 31 May 2024 14:23:18 +0000 Jules 2361907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I was going to make it through May with zero purchases, but I was mall shopping with my kids yesterday and went into Uniqlo to look for the gauzy cardigan Angie posted about this week. I didn't find the cardigan. but was excited to discover good inventory on the latest Marimekko collection. I had obsessed over it online but was discouraged by sizing range and availability and resigned myself to missing out. However in person I was able to try the dress in two patterns and the "melooni' (melon) tee shirt. Fit on the size L dress was better than expected, but this type of brightly coloured large scale pattern is generally pretty overwhelming on me and these dresses were not enough of an exception to make me truly love them. But I was thrilled to walk away with the tee.</p> <p>Generally speaking my low-shop year continues to go well - almost every trend that has interested me is already represented in my wardrobe, and I am able to pull together outfits for varied occasions quickly and painlessly. Using Finds has been super helpful, for example for my Costa Rica trip this month having a visual collection helped stop me from last-minute panic shopping before the trip - and in the end I had more than enough "tropical" items for a one week trip. </p>
