Today's Everyday Fashion: Cherries

Inspiration: Pinterest


Mint + cherry red = I'm loving this fun, retro combination! I used an old shirt to capture the same vibe as my inspiration photo, since I didn't have any actual cherries in my closet. I found some more literal prints in my online search, below, and think they are adorable though. Would you wear a cherry print?

  6. I would personally not wear an actual cherry print. It reminds me too much of my middle school years. I love the color combination though!

  7. That is a really great top! Great colour combo! It really is amazing to me what awesome combinations you come up with! I adore anything with cherries, but have just realised I do not own a single cherry! Not even a pendant or earrings (gasp!).

  9. Isn't funny what a single word can do? "Cherry" is reminiscent of retro glam but add "blossom" to it, and instantly it's become exotic and Asian-inspired. I love both iterations of cherries and now I must be on the lookout for a cherry print. Bet the thirft stores have got tons!

  15. I love this outfit! However, I would avoid actual cherry print because of its underlying sexuality. Mostly, I dislike that so much with cherries is designed for very young (6-12 year old) girls and it highlights their "virginal purity" and "value". It's just another way that we sexualize children in our society.

  16. Very interesting Katy, I have NEVER heard that before! Thanks for respectfully sharing.

  17. This is the first time I've been brave enough to go for an actual red with mint! Last week I used a pinkish coral blazer, which I loved!

  18. Isn't it *interesting* to ponder that what's "fashionable" in the past............ (e.g., mint + cherry red!)............ is considered "retro" today; and what's "fashionable" now, will probably then be considered "retro" in the future??!! (If you think I'm a slow learner, I think you're right, haha!!)

    Although you don't have any cherry-prints in your closet, J., I think YOUR really *g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s.* outfit could definitely "hold it's own" with............ ANY of the (literal) cherry-print pieces from your online search!! I've always loved cherry BLOSSOMS; so the last item in the 2nd row, Above............ i.e., Dillard's "Penelope" Women's Sleeveless Cherry Blossom Blouse, (from the Alex Marie Promenade collection), in mint//deep-cerise polyester crepe de Chine, with a *silver*-toned, studded spread collar and a button front............ would be a *great* sleeveless blouse that might also (?) even look nice as a casual vest, too............ (i.e., since this edgy, abstract-print blouse has *silver*-toned collar studs, just LIKE a vest does!!)............ with the blouse then~~as an open vest~~maybe (?) being worn with a simple scoop tank; and over either shorts and/or jeans!!

  19. While I personally wouldn't wear it, I do think that bathing suit top is cute! Also found it interesting to read Katy's view on it.

  20. So great looking, love the combination of the pale aqua and red......very unpredictable but so chic.

  21. Mint and Cherry?! So Fun! Great inspiration photo!

  22. Ummm that's a pretty broad statement to say that anything with cherry print has underlying sexuality...and wearing cherries sexualizes our children?! That's like saying wearing blue makes girls boyish or pink makes boys girlie. Gimme a break and lighten up Katy!

  24. Not sure i would wear a cherry print. I think I might be to old actually. But.... I do think it could be great as an accessory piece- like a belt or scarf with cherries on it? It looks cute as a button on you though!

  25. OMG - I LOVE this outfit! One of my all-time favorites! You rock it!

  29. That is really cute. I wonder if I could reverse it with red dots on bottom and mint on top? I look awful in red.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Silly me. Here all this time I just thought cherries meant FRUIT. ;-)

  31. LOVE this color combo - it's cute when decorating too! And I think the cherry motif will always evoke a very cute vibe :)

  33. Cherry has long been associated with virginity; i.e. "losing your cherry"
