True Love Is Wearing My Face On Your Tee

Is this a case of matching yourself to your shirt, or your shirt to yourself...? Pics via Lebonbonmulticolore and Facehunter
I'm quite convinced that prints of eyes are the coolest things ever. I've been collecting street style snaps featuring them and am on the hunt for a dress with such a print... Pics via Dropsnap and Garance Dore

like the third one....
the combination of the black tee with the simple white prints..(they look like something a child could sketch..)

Chester said...

Cool!
I love the black dress with the eyes.

Diane said...

Man, I love that white dress with the eyes. Would totally wear that!!

I really like this post - the first bit about matching people to their shirts or vice versa made me smile. And that girl with the blue tights/red shoes on her shirt that match her actual outfit? Lovely!

Maria said...

They really bring up a part of themselves in their clothes. *

Mary said...

Love the girl with the blue tights/red shoes and matching t-shirt. It's quirky and kinda dorky, in the best possible way!

yasemin said...

when I saw the face pics on the shirts, I remembered the tee designed by style rookie,isn't that cute?

caroussel said...

Great collection.

Fascinating idea. The clothes looking at the people looking at then. A little quirky, self-referential, very cute.

Those top two pictures are amazing!! Way too cool. And I love the eye-print dress on the right. That reminds me, I once knew a girl who collected eye tattoos on one of her legs. I wouldn't do such a thing, but it really was stunning to see a bunch of eyes (they were mostly manga style) peeking out of her skirt.

Dotti said...

The eye numbers are spooky. But yet so cool. ♥ Dotti

Shin said...

I really like the last picture! I think they're really whimsical and a little cheeky but so fun to wear! xxoxoxo

Diana said...

ahaha these are great! i love how they have humor and quirkiness to fashion!

La Fée said...

oh I adore the eye dress that the last girl is wearing! I've been looking for it since I first saw that pic a couple of months ago, and will just have to keep on searching I guess :(

Emz said...

Oh I love the last one! Yea, eye patterns are so fun! Like, the Shang dynasty of China did all their things in bronze and they had these fantastic prints- generally animal inspired, with like eyes.

Meg said...

Oh! I love the bottom right dress sooo much. I think I will have to start keeping my eyes open for one too. I'm pretty sure I could have just made a pun there. Or something...

Brigadeiro said...

Cool tees! I like matching tees to 'me' or vice-versa, especially my S&B 'Jesus Loves Me' & 'Jesus is 1 in my life', or my Reese's tee I got in Hershey's Times Square :)

Did you actually ask people if you could take a picture of their shirts?? I always have my camera with me and I really want to take street style pics.....so if you have any tips, they would be much appreciated!

Oh I remember that last dress, it is so pretty!

Ruta said...

so wonderful. i love the last outfit.!!

Winnie said...

I think I like the very last print the best, the different eyes are so fun to play around with different outfits!

Putri Erdisa said...

oh! how i love the title of this post! lol.

anyway, i love the first pic. :D

visit my blog too, sweet.

Rylie said...

I've never seen an eye print like that.
I love it. <333
I want to try to do a DIY like that. :D

Annie said...

the eye prints are so cool! kind of creepy and bizarre, but in the best possible way.

Amelia said...

That's bizarre! The top right one is perfect inverse. It's like Yin Yang or something.

I'm in love with the outfit in the bottom right picture. That's definitely the right way to do eye print.

Trisch said...

Oh those are too cool!

Trisch xo

Freddie said...

oh I love the girl wearing her blue tights and red shoes on her shirt! haha!

and an eye print dress sounds excellent... I love the one in the lower right. It would probably be a good DIY actually... it would be super easy to carve an eye "stamp" out of a potato!

Great Blog! Check out EgO at http://egobycolintmcdonald.blogspot.com

catherine said...

street style is wonderful, love the first look and coolness of the second. Because it's wearable and trendy.

ohphilippa said...

i like the second on the left. the bow is finished, but i want to make a pretty parcel, so i'll be posting it tomorrow

Manja said...

Those are great! I saved the first one on the right as inspiration, right when it appeared on facehunter =)

lopi said...

I loved that eye-print dress from the first moment I saw it at Garance Dore. And then I learned it was from Topshop and I wanted it even more! Alas, I didn't get it and I'm sure it's long gone now (but, I'll go check anyway). Maybe that's the reason behind my recent purchase of the eye-print t-shirt I got at Stradivarius.
Great post!

The Haute-Shopper said...

Oooh, I love these. I've seen quite a few eye-prints lately and I even saw one with noses on it, but for some reason that seemed less cute. Thanks for sharing :)

Parapluie said...

These are amazing!

Anonymous said...

The white eyes printed dress is fantastic I just love it. Looks so cool with that mint green coat.

Fannah said...

These are amazing! I love the blue legs most, and the guy's shirt is cool too :p

Couture Carrie said...

Love these pics, especially the last one!

I made my boyfriend a t-shirt with his face on it; it makes me laugh even if it makes him look self-absorbed.

Ambroisine said...

I love the first outfit and the eye dress is awesome with the background of the picture !

I wish you luck on your hunt!

Also, I featured you in an interview I did recently http://www.alixrose.com/2009/04/snap-style-shot-of-frankie-from-swell.html I hope that's ok!

I instantly had to twitter it!

Juliet said...

Print's can be so fun! Unfortunately I think I look a bit too young while wearing them.
