yes, that is a huge flower

{Lipstick: From this Pack, Sunglasses: Kate Spade | Flower: EmersonMade (now Emerson Fry) | Jacket: J. Crew | Sweater: Similar | Shorts: J. Crew}




I hate it when I think my outfit is all cute and then somebody makes an offhand comment that probably is not a compliment.  Case in point, I walk into my building in this super cute outfit and my doorman goes: "That's a huuuge (emphasis on huge) flower."  What am I supposed to say that? "Why yes sir, it is a huge flower.  Thanks for noticing."

I've had this "huge" flower for forever and have failed to wear it with anything.  It was a last minute addition to this outfit and I love how the dusky blue looks with the dark green and neon pink.  Despite my doorman's opinion, I will be wearing my huge flower again!

Oh and in case you were wondering what's happening in that last photo, that's me being a mom.  T was getting cranky so I put on my mom hat.  Just be happy I didn't post the photos of me sticking me tongue out and doing jumping jacks.

I only kid of course.

    1. Oh thank you so much! That is my hair after letting it air dry. I use a little bit of curling gel just to help with the frizz but other than that there's not much to it!

  4. Ugh, I hate comments like that! Once, I was at work and wearing a layered chain necklace and some guy came up to me and said "whoa, you must be a pirated all swathed in silver like that!" Wth? All I could say was, "nope, not a pirate." So annoying!

  5. I think the flower is so fun! I hate comments like that... one time I had my toenails painted a teal color and my (much older) co-worker said to me, "um, your toenails are green." Why yes, yes they are. So awkward.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am loving your style as well!

  9. I would have said EXACTLY that. Before I read the post and was just looking @ the photos I thought "that flower rocks, it's very Carrie Bradshaw from Sex & the City". Keep doin' your thing, what the security guard (or anyone) things doesn't really matter! Thanks for stopping by my blog - keep in touch!

  13. Hi Lindsay,
    Thanks for stopping by One Woman's Style and Evolution and for leaving your comment. I went to a "white and bright" themed party recently and one of the attendees came in an all white outfit with a big flower (might be the same one that you have, but in fuchsia)and everyone gasped. Not because of the size of the flower, it was because the total outfit was just brilliant! Remember that!.

  19. Don't mind the doorman he knows nothing about fashion and originality.

    This is what happens to me too when I try to take pictures with sonny around.

  20. What I'm sure he meant to say was that it is a huge, FABULOUS flower! You look so great! I hate when people say things like that. It just gets awkward because you don't know whether to thank them for the compliment, or slap them for the insult. :) I get that from men at work all the time when I wear pointy shoes. I constantly hear, "Wow, those are pointy", but I know it's not meant to be a compliment. They really should just not say anything at all.

  28. I think the huge flower is FANTASTIC! I heard a great quote today that totally applies to people and their off handed comments: "Don't care what people think. They rarely do it anyways." You look awesome girl!

  31. When I was in Engineering I wore an orange sweater one day in October, my male co-worker commented that I "Looked like a pumpkin". Men . . .
