Fickle observation on the fashion:
It occured to me that the petit bateau/marinière/naval themed long sleeved shirt has become, like purple and the canary yellow hue that followed it a few seasons ago, the fashion that won’t die.
I don’t think that I’ve seen a pattern achieve such status in my lifetime. A pattern becoming a neutral… It really does pair with just about anything.
Herringbone was popular during the eighties wasn’t it? I can’t help but automatically associate that pattern with posh ladies from Beverly Hills who wear too much red lipstick. I have no idea if that’s a legitimate reference. I was only five when 1990 hit.
I’m not complaining. I’ll easily admit that I own at least two other variations of the style to the one featured on the left. I suppose I just figured coral would be around for a little while longer in the form of apparel instead of being relegated to the tips of fingers everywhere.
Again, no complaints. The red/orange hue reminds me of the Little Mermaid by way of Ariel’s bright hair. It always bothered me that she tried to brush it with a fork. Everyone else laughed while I sat there, annoyed. Thank god for Sebastian or the colour would have lost all of its credibility.
