Which of the following sentences is better?

1) Her blouse wafted in the breeze.
2) Her blue blouse wafted in the breeze.

CONSIDER: The second one is more concrete; it evokes a better picture of the girl's blouse. But the first example, one could argue, offers more participation; readers can decide what colour the blouse is in their own minds.

So, which is better?
>>
Second one has two words in a row that start with "bl", don't do that
>>
Her blouse wafted in the blue breeze.
>>
>>9287608
I like the first one more, the color of the blouse iisn't important
also this >>9287615
>>
>>9287608
The waffle breezed in her blouse.
>>
>>9287615
>>9287617

What's wrong with two words beginning with 'bl'? Is alliteration to be avoided in prose?
>>
>>9287617

Why do writers, then, even when these details aren't important, still feel the need to include them? Are even professional writers scared that they'll be, in some way, misunderstood?
>>
>>9287608
Don't use adjectives unless they're necessary. In this case introduce the blouse as blue elsewhere, since it interrupts the flow of the sentence.
>>
Would caress her inner thighs and crotch and smell my hands after
>>
>>9287631

Huh... That's sound. I suppose it's good to keep a tally of these unnecessary details and find places later in the story where they pay off better. Thanks.
>>
Lol wafted wtf kinda aesthetics is that
>>
>>9287637

She thicc.
>>
>>9287608
A blue blouse, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind her on the mild morning air
>>
>>9287654

Suggest a better word, then, lil nigga.
>>
Wafted connotes bad smells

Try "fluttered" or some shit
>>
>>9287665
>sustained
5 cent word trying to fill a 15 cent's shoes
>>
>>9287608
1
The first flows better.
>>
>>9287679

thanks, lil nigga.

>>9287689

i agree. he's some purple prose fag.

>>9287692

agree. thanks
>>
>>9287689
Hey shitbreeches, are you doing the hat trick?
>>
>>9287624
It sounds weird when it's not being done intentionally. Alliteration isn't necessarily bad though.
>>
As she walked the breeze played with the frill of her blouse.
>>
>>9287608
More like I would "breeze" her blouse with my penis if you know what i mean hehe
>>
>>9287787
Are you saying you'd fuck her?? Wtf
>>
3)The Nothing itself nothings.
>>
>>9287689
>>9287696

>>
>>9287895

>trying this hard to recover from being blown out
>you can't kek this shit up
>capped and saved
>>
>>9287901
If irony 6/10
>>
>>9287908
3/10 at best
>>
>>9287608
Why blouse and not skirt, or even her hair, if only a few strands of it? Is the girl stationary or moving along? Sails don't waft, they billow, and a blouse is more like a sail than a football.. I think what's needed here is a little context.
>>
>>9287608
Wafting makes me think of farts. Any advice you get here is pure preference.
>>
>>9287616
Her blouse wafted in the breeze, bluely.
>>
>>9288098
Her blouse blued in the wafting breeze
>>
>>9287787
I'd let her breezes waft the blue hairs in my nose if you catch my drift
>>
>>9287669
Blew
>>
The blue blouse blew with the billowing breeze.
>>
>>9288253
>>9288259
The blue blouse blew with the billowing wind, blissfully oblivious to it's bleak and barren future.

All me, I'm writing a book btw
>>
>>9288275
>wind
Goddamnit I had one job
>>
>>9287624
nothing's wrong; please alliterate all you want especially if it occurs naturally
>>
>>9287608
There she stood, in a blue blouse and a black skirt. And her blouse wafted in the breeze.
>>
>>9287608
who cares.

lmao.
>>
can you post more kpop thighs for me?
>>
>>9287621
kek
>>
>>9287608
A breeze wafted from her blouse
>>
Does the color matter in the story?
>>
A BRAAAAAAAAAAAAP wafted from her blouse.
>>
>>9287608
No way to tell without context. But it's not like you're actually writing anything so who cares?

Next.
