Hat, Meet Blouse.

I hit a kind of jackpot yesterday. You'll see a few of the scored items over at the etsy, but this one I had to keep for myself. I grabbed this little blouse last minute, and I am now almost heartbroken when I think that I almost left it behind. It's the prettiest little silk blouse, with a fantastic shape and buttons! And a pleated collar with a tie!






It is very possible that I have been waiting for this blouse for my entire life. And it was only...I am allowed to brag...five dollars. I spend more than that on silly candies! I am delighted, and as a blessing, it is warm and sunny today (it snow flurried yesterday, the ultimate insult) so the skin on your arms may be happy when it meets the sun--and other pretentious statements like that.

I am also doing quite well at wearing this hat every sunny day thus far. Apologies, my DIY boater hat is sitting neglected. I forgot to take pictures of it, and I am too tired to do so. Also, I am promised sandwiches.

  2. I like it with the jeans; keeps it from being overly femme-y. And I love the hat. It makes me think of Zelda Fitzgerald

  13. I love that blouse! What a great buy.
    I'm finding that a good blouse is actually a lot harder to find than what I expected.

  14. Hi, I'm new to your blog and it's adorable. My name is Laura and I'm studying in Paris.
    That blouse is to die for. It's so beautiful, I'm glad you're keeping it! Also, I've been looking for the perfect boater, but for some reason it hasn't really hit Paris yet.

    I'm new to this vintage community & just opened my etsy store. I'm trying to make new friend, so if you have a chance, check out my blog:
