Straightjacket is a good way to describe it. I mean, maybe if I had a smaller chest I might think about trying it because I do like some pretty eccentric stuff. But definitely a "no" for me.
I've seen a lot of that look and the puffer off the shoulders look in blogger world. Both seem like the sort of thing one could sustain for a couple of minutes for a photo, and then return to the ordinary way of wearing clothes to be comfortable and cover the body for the current season.
I have really enjoyed reading all the comments and see straight jacket and child's painting smock. Shedev, I also would really like to see this from the back. The little bit of white at the neckline makes me wonder if she is wearing a white blouse underneath.
Well not that one, but I have definitely turned around shirts and sweaters when the back dips and I prefer how it looks in the front. If I were in a very fashion forward environment, I might try something like this too .
At church today I was sitting behind a college aged young lady wearing a classic cardigan backwards so it was buttoned up the back. She owned the look and I want to try it.
I like the way she looks, but it would drive me crazy to feel choked at the neck like that. Agree with UmmLila that it's reminiscent of the puffer-slipped-off-the-shoulders photo-shoot style: appealing mostly to the very young and discomfort-impervious? Something about that mock-turtleneck effect in a loose plaid woven shirt IS fresh, though. I can see why it made you stop and look!
I did it... when was 14:-)...and still remember quite well that it didn't feel me, so I say nope. BUT I have had a unique cowl "V" neck and big buttons down on the back baby cord navy dress in college that I designed myself, wore it proud and felt special and different in. But, you know, that had been a very clever cut and only looking like was I was wearing it backwards front but really I wasn't! It had some seams on the bust/waist and hips...so all good and comfy:-)...
I have so many questions! How did she get into that outfit? Did someone have to button up the back for her? Or is the back mostly open? Not being a fashion blogger, I would just look silly and all my coworkers would assume it was some sort of joke.
