Poetry has done it again. Another gorgeous, artistic print blouse for Fall! I bought a similar one last year, so how on earth can I justify buying this one?

Fall colors are my favorites, and this pattern is so artistic! I think this blouse will eventually find its way into my cart.

Scrolling through the poetryfashion.com website, I plow through so much that is drab and colorless, but every now and then I see a print that is just stunning. Kind of like going from zero to 60 in an instant.

Wrap London

I also admire the Bird of Paradise blouses of Wrap London. Every year, this English clothing company (a sister company of Poetry) features at least one blouse with exotic embroidered birds. Where would I wear such a blouse? Somewhere in my dreams…

More embroidered birds, this time on a sundress:

Moving on to another favorite:

Sundance Catalog

Hmm, this beautiful print dress from the Sundance Catalog is now on sale! I like the combination of the fall print fabric with the dark blue crochet trim.

But this brings up an issue I have with dresses: I just don’t find them comfortable to wear. Tights are too constricting, so I like to wear leggings under a dress, but then the issue is what shoes to wear. It is hard to find dress shoes that are comfortable.

If there was a blouse in this pattern, I would buy it so fast!
