many of you had kind words for the baby bird.
sadly, it died.
i'm not sure what possessed me to buy this blanket sweater last year for those winter months which never came. it looked good on the 5'-9" model. but then again, what doesn't look good on a
5'-9" model? i wore it out of the house a few times, but it's just too hot here.
on this day, i was just playing around with my camera and the fringes, but you can see how i actually wore it here.
what were you suckered into buying just because it looked good on the model/mannequin?

I can understand getting sucked into this...but because I thrift I rarely have this problem. Now, sometimes bloggers convince me that I must have certain items!
it looks great on you too! I love the back detail on your tank.
I actually really like the "blanket" sweater :) it looks really great with the outfit you linked.
I have bought so many outfits off of mannequins its really sad... before I started trying to develop my own real style I used to just buy whole outfits and not really allow for any creativity or thought.

Well, I live in Minnesota so I'm a sucker for anything that looks really warm when its wintertime, regardless of style sometimes, sadly... that sweater would probably be great here :)
Love this sweater! I can't get enough of oversized pieces to layer! I've found layering essential for Hawaii! Especially since I live on the big island, its so rainy!
What are you talking about silly it looks fab on you! Love this outfit :)
i know, i hate it when these models trick me when i buy the stuff they wear. haha!! oh man..

I think it looks good on you. Great piccys. Do you use a tripod?
This fringe is amazing! I think it looks great on you. :) I would still buy clothes on tall mannequins and then I usually just figure out how to make it work on my pint-sized frame later on. :) xx
The fringe is not bad for summer :) It looks good on you and it can protect you from the sun? Pretty. :)

I think it looks fantastic on you! I suppose in my case YOU would be the model, and I would be just me trying to look good. Make sense? I love that second picture!

Hey, thanks for your comment on my post. I'd love to be linked. Those piccys are seriously awful, though. I'll get better ones. I think you should do more challenges and set yourself up with a linky thing like Pretty Shiny Sparkly. Your signature could be mixing patterns and colors....justa thought. Your blog is awesome and so are you.
I think it is a good buy! is very cool as oversize and fringe! I love how you look with it! and the photos you have been great!
In the picture where you have your back to the camera and are spreading out the blanket fringe thing, you look like a bird. I like it.

love this :)
I am soooo in love with this fringe look!! I want it!!
How do I count the ways? Most of the, um, stuff (junk) in my closet looked way better on the mannequin than yours truly. :P Any-who, just wanted to stop by and let you know that you're my pick of the week. I dig your photos and fashion divaness (totally made that word up) and want to share your blog with my readers. Your link will be on my blog's sidebar for the next week. Toodles! :)
this is so bad-ass and i have to agree, what doesn't look good with a 5'9 model. you are rockin' and owning the look.
happy weekend!
nice outfit! I like the ring and the color block touch'

I love that cardigan! And may I just say,it looks just as good on you, as it would on a 5"9 model. Love Sia xx
I love it girl. You're definitely working the fringe and your pics are fantastic. Gorgeous as always

Weird how amazing clothes look on models & then when you try it on, it doesn't have the same appeal!
But saying that, this looks amazing on you hun! xx

Too bad it's too hot for it, it looks so cool. It'd be perfect for a cool summer night to sit around a campfire on the side of a lake here.
I love the fringe detail of this sweater. It adds so much interest to the outfit. Hmmm...I can't remember being influenced by something displayed on a mannequin recently.
haha I've probably done that too many times to count, but now I'm a bit wiser b/c I know that they usually tug and pin them into place on the mannequin! I actually like this sweater on you though. It's very giant and cozy looking, with a real vintage vibe.
What does it say about me that I love the cardi? You wear it well! I think the 5'9" mannequin did you a favour! Ha! Love ur style.
