Long long ago, there was a new style blogger who thought this classic blouse style was called a tie blouse. She also thought those shorts could exist in her closet, and has since learned better. Living and learning… After stumbling across the awesome blog B’s Goodwill Hunting, I learned the preferred term for this style: the secretary blouse. She has a collection of secretary blouses and I love how they look ladylike and can be styled up, down and every which way. Imagine my delight when I found a vintage perfect-condition secretary blouse in a timely pattern and in the hot colours for spring, black and white…
At first, I called this my Anthropologie-esque print top, but my style confidante more accurately described it as Banana-Republic-y. Luckily I had inadvertently followed BR’s recommendation to pair my springy black and white print with a bold colour…
Not just any bold colour, but the colour of the year in a H&M cardi that I’ve had for years because green has been my fave long before Pantone declared it worthy.
When I heard that black and white were the trendy colours for spring, I baulked. But this delicate print changed my mind…
This is a lot of fabulousness for six dollars! VV Boutique, you’re going to make me wear my latest favourite seventeen days in a row again, aren’t you?!
