I took today as an opportunity to wear the shirt and took a few photos of me wearing this before I walked out the door. Today was not a good hair day, it was very muggy and my hair went limp before I left the house. I really needed to brighten up the makeup as my hair and pale skin with a shirt with light beige as the dominant color made me looked rather washed out.
Here is the back view which really shows more of the paisley/geometric design as well as the green in the fabric.

The left side I used the design horizontally.

The right side of the design was placed vertically.

As to wearability, this passed nicely. I thought the fabric would wrinkle a lot more than it did. Sitting and wearing a seat belt did create some wrinkles and I actually thought it would be more so. (Sorry no photos of me after wearing.)
I will wear this again. It is not a style that I have worn much and it is still taking me some time to adjust to it. My DH comment was " well, it is very different". I think it was a compliment or as close as I will get to it.
I think I have written enough about this pattern. I plan to write a review on Pattern Review soon.
I have finished the fitting adjustments for the Simplicity top-a Mimi G style. I hope to cut out the fabric soon.
Thanks for stopping by!
