I think it's this particular print and not a floral thing. There's something about it that's hard to wear, if that makes sense.

I don't have many patterns in my closet either. I have a lot of solids. A floral wouldn't get worn by me either, no matter how pretty the fabric.<br /><br />However, great job on the blouse!
