After whining about looking too 'tough' when I wear a band tee, I got into a conversation with Rosie from A Rose Like This about how to feminine up my stereotypical Pearl Jam fandom look. She blew me away by suggesting to wear the branded tee with a floral skirt! I'd never even thought about pairing those two together! So, here is my Rosie inspired rock-floral look!
Skirt: ASOS Curve
When I first bought this skirt, I wasn't sure how much I liked the lantern shape. But it's been hanging in my wardrobe for a while and it's seemed to relax the material to sit a little flatter.
I didn't even realise until I saw these pictures that the top was kind of see through. I think it may look more obvious because of the camera flash, but nonetheless, a flower print bra probably wasn't the best undergarment choice. In regards to sizing, this top is a Pearl Jam official merchandise tee in a women's size 2X. I have quite a few men's size large instead because the ladies tees run really small. This is probably more like a size 16.
The shoes were a bargain buy from Lane Bryant when we were in the USA. They are super comfy and can seriously be worn for hours. The pretty wooden bracelets are a surprising find in Tree of Life, they are just wider than average and perfect for my wrists.
I am so stoaked with this new look for me. If you haven't meet Rosie yet, go check her out- her style is uber fabulous! And she is going to be rocking her own floral skirt and band tee today as well! It's also so cool to be able to get worldwide styling tips on social media, fabulous chubby girls unite!!!

Tell me some of your style tips???
i love this! so girly and fun! cobalt looks amazing on you hon!
ReplyDeleteReally like that blue tee with the colourful floral skirt, great pairing! :)
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is amazing! Love how you made the band t-shirt girly as you say they often make a look tough. :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this! I have so many band tee shirts, but never wear them either as I'm always too woried about looking too 'butch'. Might need to steal your idea!
ReplyDeletePs. I'm so jealous of your weather!
While the previous outfit was horrid, this is great. The shape is perfect for you as are the colors. A wonderful outfit. The previous outfit with that horrible bird skirt needs to never see the light of day ever again. Go ahead and compare both outfits. You will see that I am not wrong.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourites! I love pairing tee-shirts, girly or not, with skirts. It just adds a level of easiness to a look. If that makes sense. I mean, it's sort of a carefree sort of thing, and it works all the time, and I just love everything here! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit!! You look amazing. That skirt is great, the shoes are adorable, and while I'm not particularly a Pearl Jam fan, I love avocados so I think the t-shirt is super cute, too :) T-shirts paired with cute skirts & accessories are a great look!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit so much! The skirt is so pretty and so are the shoes. I do like the mix of the top and skirt together. Oh, and I have that tortoise belt, too! It's so cute :)
ReplyDeleteahhh girl you look amazing! super cute! I finally got my post up too but mines a little darker to match the rubbish cold and damp weather here in the UK :) loved doing this together! :) actually got me to do a outfit post and its been awhile :) xx
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the overall look but I DYING over that belt!
ReplyDeleteYou always smile, you always laugh, how do you that?
ReplyDeleteI really like that skirt.
Love this look on you! Great thinking ladies. I especially love those wedges. Adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe whole look is gorgeous, and it doesn't matter that the top is see-through because you matched a bra to your skirt!! Hehe!
ReplyDeleteTres bonne annee 2013 !
ReplyDeleteI love this look, I love pairing floral pieces with more "tough" pieces. I've been dying to get my hands on a really adorable floral dress so I can rock it with a pair of boots and a leather jacket. I feel ya on the girls tees being so small, whyaretheysosmalllll? It drives me nuts. I loooooooooooooove those bracelets too. Happiest 2013 pretty lady!
