A lot of the time it comes down to one thing: consistency.

If your whole text is made of sentences like this, then it can be seen as your style. If you pepper your text with just a few of these, they will be more likely to become an editor's target, and reasonably so.

Make sure you differentiate between actual style and just doing something because, "you know, that sentence is so cool that way."

I am usually a fan of the former and see the latter as lame showing off.
