odd couple by summerfield

odd couple

there was a time when the "fashionistas" would poo-pooh a combination like this, be it women's fashion or home decor - they just don't go together. horrors if you combine paisley prints with another floral print or geometric prints! these days, however, i see in high end department stores, i see this kind of combination more and more, and even in women's fashion. does that mean we are being too liberal; or the new trendsetters just have extremely addled brains?

in any case, you won't catch me alive wearing a combination akin to this. but i must admit that in the 1970's it didn't take much for me to succumb to wearing silk blouse and levi's jeans, with pearl chokers and stiletto shoes.

still not wearing this combination.

we had an assault of high winds and in some places people have no power. i couldn't post last night because, although we did have power, there was a sporadic blinking (for lack of a more correct term) of power which i didn't think was good for the laptop. ultimately the connection went wobbly and i just had to call it a night. we're still having the same problem, but i thought i'd sneak this in.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are greatly appreciated.
One persons fashion crime is another person’s fashion trend... jeans, pearls and stilettos I get... this combo? Not so much!

Glad to hear you didn’t lose power completely... we were out for about 10 hours... oh well... I really needed to clean out the fridge anyway!

I would never wear this combination either. But the silk blouse with jeans and stilettos is okay, except that I might fall off the stilettos at my age now. But a nice 2 inch pump still works.

Not a big fan of floral fabrics but I can appreciate this combo. It appeals to me more than the pearls and stilettos do.

Me, I don't get fashion?!

Good one. It seems these days anything goes

Beautiful half and half! 2” heels are as high as I can go. Smile.

I like the stripes following through. I might use it in quilting or see it in a blouse with mostly one but pockets and collar of the other.

This is a wonderful half and half!

Nicely done.

Nice for the challenge and a thought provoking narrative. I remember those days and still am not much of a fashion follower today either!

Fashion citation!

Great half and half, but nope, I'm not wearing it either. Don't care much for fashion anyway. Sorry to hear of your power problems, bloody pesky.

nice half and half. I was never into heels and I quite like this combo and I think it would go well with jeans.

sorry to hear about your power issues - you seem to suffer in this department. I have always been curious about the comings and goings of fashions and what works and what doesn't. There seem to be no constant reference points. I wouldn't be happy with this combination myself. Certainly not the stiletto heels either (I fall over myself even in flats).

Nice contrast, and fabrics are a good choice for half-and-half!
