Liberty of London...sigh

Alright, Liberty of London has collections at Target and MAC. And, yes, some of it's really pretty. What I'd like to point out, is, some of it's really ugly. Some of it's only on the rack because, while some companies hide overblown florals away and call them "misguided", Liberty of London makes a policy of them. And I love prints, people. I wear prints so ridiculous my mother is embarrassed to be seen with  me. She once asked that I "Leave the Picasso prints on the walls." Very funny. In any case, I did go check out the Liberty stuff at Target, in part because while the whole blog world bemoaned the fact that everything got swept away in a day, all THREE of my Targets in South Carolina were still brimming with overgrown florals and inexplicable peacock designs. (As a side note: I think peacock looks can be really pretty, but I have a weird reaction to anything that doesn't include the whole bird. I'm not sure why?)

AND I even BOUGHT something. I actually bought two somethings. Not a dress, or a scarf (it's going to be HOT soon, I don't want a damn scarf.). I bought two coffee mugs that bring the kind of delight to my heart usually reserved for morning my dog lets me sleep past 8 am. I only found one online, and it's the less pretty of the two. The other one has the same colors, but in a kind of cracked glass pattern.

I might return for a few more items, but none of them will be clothing. It's strange, I either love the cut but hate the pattern, or I love the pattern and hate the cut. For example:

Am I loving the print? Yes. And I even love off the shoulder. I'm less interested in a giant ruffle at my chest, though. That seems hazardous. But I may go back for a few more things, like some of the pillows and maybe a few items to give as gifts later on.
