I think staff took some of the things a lot of the community likes and put it into this fest's apparel. Flowers everywhere? Check. Blindfolded dragon? Check. Weapon? Check. The only thing that would make it more appealing to the community would be taking that sickle and inexplicably impaling it into the dragon.
My squinting at the aesthetic aside, I do like the apparel. It's pretty, and it's a departure from the previous apparel we've gotten for Greenskeeper. I think that's a good thing. I don't think I'll use it much, if at all, but the challenge of incorporating it into outfits has been accepted and I look forward to figuring it out :)

I think it's a neat idea for apparel that isn't a part of Greenskeeper Gathering. The aesthetic is neat, but it doesn't feel that Naturey to me.
I would've liked the sickle separately, but together with the ribbon, it's a bit too much.

I'm kind of also in agreement on it being decided-by-community aesthetics, which are great, but maybe not all at once? I think that the flowerfall / ribbons, sickle, or blindfold by themselves would all be super popular and versatile, but the combination of all of them just seems hard to work with. And yeah, agree that it doesn't really feel like a Greenskeeper apparel item. I'm all in favor of flowers and nature apparel that isn't green, but flowerfalls don't really read as...living flowers to me, you know, and living plants is kind of how I define Nature's aesthetic. Plants growing on / out of the dragon would feel more nature-y to me than petals falling around them.

Yeah, I'd actually like both the sickle AND the ribbon, but separately on completely different dragons. I don't want to sound like I want all Nature holiday apparel to just be leaves and sticks (though that's kind of the look I'm going for w/ my permas, oops), but the entire ensemble feels more like a fancy user-made accent than elemental holiday apparel.
Also, I'm unlucky enough not to like the popular aesthetic, but oh well. Maybe it's going to be idk... plants and dirt next time :')

There will be something here. Eventually.
I personally really like it!
But I do agree with others here, I wish the colors were different. My aesthetic doesn't really lend itself to those particular colors, so if I want to use this apparel it's definitely going to be a challenge for me.
I hope they do either a bright red recolor, or even a more desaturated brown look (because sometimes I feel like dark, dusty and desaturated natural colors kind of get the boot for apparel).

Here's a quick attempt at making an outfit around it:

It's workable, but I do feel it can't be incorporated into pre-existing outfits. Being on a platform that doesn't allow me to reorder apparel in the dressing room doesn't help either haha

I hope there is a recolor with red flowers and a white ribbon. I'd get 100 of them.

I honestly really love it. I slapped it onto my agriculture boi faster than you could say Glademom and then bought three more for reserve. Is my boy messy? Yes. Do the colors coordinate [i]perfect[/i]? No. Do I love it anyway? Absolutely.
