Who Wore it Best: Paisley Prints

It’s no surprise that mixing bold prints is one the latest and greatest in dick deflecting fashion trends and so, as Man Repellers, it’s our job to exploit, ridicule and engage in the the excessive nature of said trend.

That said, this installment of Who Wore it Best has not much to do with the above tidbit but rather draws inspiration from a bed side trend, if you know what I’m saying.

Oh, you don’t? To quote the very eloquent Antoine Dodson, You are so dumb. You are REALLY dumb.

In any case, here’s a photo of me posing like a baby fetus.

Oh, look at me, I’m a baby fetus leaning on my inner shins! Do inner shins exist? Did I just make up a body part? I slay myself. 

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m deliberately wearing my paisley print top against a Persian rug with leopard print heels (and my temple topper) to really exaggerate the print concoction present. Dig deep inside yourselves now, fellow repellows, and tell me: who am I emulating?

Who?
…
or What?
….
Have you figured it out?
…..
How about now?
….
Are you ready to meet the contestant up against me?
…
Is the anticipation starting to kill you?
….
This may or may not result in one very anti climactic moment.
…..
Ready?
….
Okay…
…
Here he is:

A paisley print bed spread!

This is not my bed, nor does it belong to any of my family members or friends. I feel like a BED INTRUDER having pulled it off a random website, talk about an invasion of privacy, but I love you guys, so, I’m willing to invade privacy to induce even the littlest smirk from you hunks. 

And now back to the initial question, who wore it best?

I should let you know, by the way, that this Chanel blouse is vintage…so vintage it’s from ruling era of Coco, herself.

About two years ago my great grandmother asked my mom to help her convert addresses from one phone book to another and in return, she offered her this blouse. My mom then offered it to me because I threatened to punch her if she didn’t.

Ultimately, I wanted to act as camouflage with my mother’s bed spread and thought it would be a good experiment in learning to blend in. 

So tell us, fellow Repellows, WHO WORE IT BEST?
