I was not thinking of entering this time, but looking back over the last two weeks I found this outfit that I posted on WAYWRN and which is perhaps oddish. I am combining two paisley patterns, hopefully in a subtle way - the John Comfort tie has a neat, small pattern and the Etro square a very much bolder one. I offer them here with some different / edited pics:

Although I liked Clags' outfit most, Bienluienapris' doily hank was really the only subtly odd note for me.

1...2...3 NOT IT!

SYCSYC, ball is in your court. Though I think it might be nice to have a bit of a break until fall weather begins to appear.
