I like the yellow top a lot. The ruffles are not too girly because the whole top is big. The darker bottoms tone down the yellow, giving the outfit a nonchalant elegance. But still, it is how you feel in it. Also, food for interesting discussions and a happy daughter 😁

It is true - it has that nonchalant vibe to it, as it is so oversized. But still not a natural fit for me:)

This is such a fun and brave experiment. I will look forward to seeing the next installment! And as others have said, the yellow top is good with the dark skirt and bottoms!

I really, truly like this yellow top. Full stop. I also really like it on you. And in fact - I like it best with that ruffled, "weird-coloured" skirt and Tibi boots.

Ok, this may be silly - but somehow I feel that the top that you dislike (a minus) and the skirt that you are not a fan of either (also a minus) - when multiplied turn into a big plus :)

Keep on experimenting. I'm learning so much!

So interesting! Just goes to show how taste can be so different, and how psychology influences us to like and dislike certain aesthetics - like the girly stuff is very difficult for me:) What you are saying it is almost like a "ton" of stuff makes the outfit cohesive again

Do you want to take a chance at styling this top yourself? I can ship it to you:)

Thanks so much for the offer 😃 I just don’t like myself in yellow, close to my face 🙈

Hilarious. And brave.

I really like this experiment! My 5-year-old daughter would also be ecstatic if I wore overly feminine clothes and dressed the way she considers “princess dressing” (unfortunately for her, her mom is a neutral minimalist at heart 😅).

Unlike you, I think I’d actually feel more comfortable dressing in a way I dislike around strangers rather than friends or family. I feel like I “need” to be fully myself around the people who know me best, but I could be more “costume-y” around strangers without overthinking it, since they don’t know me or have expectations of who I am.

Anyway, this was such a fun read — I’m excited to read about the all-slim outfit next, because that would absolutely be the worst one for me too.

I agree that with strangers it is possible to dress any way you want, like in a big city you become anonymous. For me the hardest is the semi-strangers - people who know me but barely, but once again maybe it is just me!

Yeah, I get it! It’s tricky for sure

This is such a fun experiment and I’m loving following along! I loved how you styled the yellow top with both the jeans and the pencil skirt!!
