Can I buy a vowel please? Or, for the woman who wants her clothes to speak for her.
I love words. I am not sure if I would wear clothing with words on them. I am not even a fan of labels on clothing. But, I do like the extreme language of the Viktor& Rolf. It is fun for runway.
Thanks for sharing with us some fashion that encourages reading!xo
so funny! i think the only thing i would sport right about now would be a Hope shirt supporting Obama.
Christian Francis Roth did some great graffiti pieces -- I'm getting one! :-)
Wonderful! I love reading on other's t-shirts. A lot of the t-shirt with words printed on are kind of stupid, but these pics where not!
The last pair of leggings are amazing! I have always liked slogan tees! Okay, HOH made me like them!
that dream coat is hilarious... seriously.
your blog is corgeous :) I could just spend forever here...excellent pics, very pretty =)

still adore the Viktor & Rolf - and my favorite tank is an old Demeulemeester that says "holy." love that!
I almost bought that marc BIG TOTE...then thought twice. . ..all this reminds me of WHAM circa 1982
CHOOSE LIFE
they are all interesting but i don't think i would wear them unless words are quite subtle.
very 80s! love it!
a kiss!!!
Hi there-I love Viv Westwoods and Sonia Rykiels take on this, lovely!!
I love Juicy boots! They're sooooo gorgeous and very useful for the british rainy days! Excellent choice!
XOXO

The "DREAM" dress is HILARIOUS! I LOVE the tan flowy skirt.
that's it! i'm breaking out my "frankie says relax" t-shirt...woohoo!
i love your posts cc, always interesting, and packed with stuff you just don't see everyday!
cara mia
I love that dream coat, carrie!
In a coctail dress this could rock.

Love this! Especially the Emanuel Ungaro’s look!
V & R loves.
i do like prited tees. but more vintage/rock band style! i <3 a good worn in T. ah. bliss.
x.
thanks for your comment carrie. it means so much to me...
i'm definitely for style/clothing making a statement, but not literally! definitely runway looks only. ;-)
xo
that signature newsprint by Galliano is a dream! D R E A M !!!
Glad I can still spell!
;)
~Charmed as always dear*
cool post! for some reason, im really drawn to graffiti on tops and (some) bags!
♥ R
I'd throw it all away for that long skirt with the type all over it.
i'm always tempted to get shirts with words printed on them but then I don't. I guess it seems like such a statement to have words all over you!
I love Henry Holland's tee. Those bags you chose are very cool
The Viktor & Rolf outfit is pretty sweet. I wonder if you could really buy it like that...
wow, what crazy photos! i love the photo with of the blue haired model. i'd love to be a model just so i could take photos like that. :)
reading peoples shirts is always fun
i love witty messages
oh that miss sixty tights are adorable! that dream dress is hilarious!
hmm, I don't love the red Louboutin's, but V&R is definitely awesome. They have the makeup that says "NO" too! it's really cool
I really do like this look, but I'm not sure if I like this on me as much as a wall, or a taller person, perhaps?
i love that 'don't be a square" frame. I wish there was a way for me to wear that out in public!
I love that colour collection.
Happiness !!
It's a great to start a conversation.
OMG. This is the best post of yours ever. I love it!!
I love it... especially love message tees, they're always fun :)
I tagged you in " I love your blog" tag .... :)
this is so cool! Totally awesome post, I've seen the DREAM one in so many editorials! excellent post, loving your blog xxx
Ungaro's dress isn't saying anything that loudly but that's good enough for me. Anything that gives texture to an elegant dress is welcome.
Today's craving was worse after not having anything naughty for a day! 14 days of bliss that's what I'm hoping for. are you with me? or are you heading out to get some brownies for me? :)
I've always had such a big thing for the Henry Holland t-shirts. I find them so excellent! And I love the Venus top by Vivienne Westwood Red Label. Great post xox
thanks for your comment! I´ll visit u often
I love tees with message, but I prefer to make my owns t-shirts, with the message that I want
The title of this post Carrie could not be more on point! ;o)
I think all these statements,writing etc on garments is so interesting.I love particular the 3D words on garments in V&R's collection. I's love that on a bag,easier to wear.
Henry Hollands line is so cheeky,gotta love it!

Ha , ha!! That's very funny wear a comment!!
Nice post
Thanks for you visit.
So, shall we state something else in our clothes? Something like feelings, or ideas? That would be great, wouldn't it?
Meanwhile, I'll re-take all my t-shirts with messages!
Great post and blog, love it! I'll come by more times!
Oh my gosh that Viktor & Rolf coat is beautiful... though not too wearable sadly. Unless you're really brave! ;) I think Henry Holland does words the best, loved the formatting he uses and the clever rhymes. :)
xoxo,
S-C
i like written stuff but not over the top graphics.
the dream coat is funny but love the word dream. :)
xoxo
Stella :)
I adore that Viktor and Rolf coat
Not wild about the words. BUT I LOVE the Dolce and Gabbana gown in your sidebar! OMG... it is GORGEOUS!
once again, lovely post! i do like the john galliano newsprint. =)
I love that Emanuel Ungaro's dress!
wow that's bold fashion!
I am always in two minds around slogan clothing, sometimes it looks fantastic, and other times somewhat trashy. That being said I love all of these choices, and I personally have a House of Holland slogan t-shirt that is borderline trashy, but in a good way :)
what an amazing blog!
want to trade links?
I wonder how it would look like if you had the "Dream" coat and went on the bus, haha.
Worded things hae to be one of fashion's greatest things. It says EVERYTHING without actually saying anything. Viktor & Rolf's collection was just out of this world amazing!
I'm 50/50 about this trend..I guess ir depends on what is wrote. Great pics, anyway.
Fabulous post! Loved reading your great post, I always can tag it and I will vote up for you
