Outfits with me wearing jeans are like buses – none for ages then two in quick succession! Monday’s Style Not Age post prompted me to go through my stash of denim and try a few pairs on. I realised that I’d never actually worn these before. I wanted to pair this frilly blouse with jeans for more of an edgy street style look, rather than trying to dress it up. It’s enough of a statement in its own right without trying to add to it.
The playful mix of stripes and frills on this blouse is both charming and quirky
Like the strawberry cardigan in last week’s post, this blouse popped up in the “recommended for you” feed on Vinted. That algorithm knows me well by now! There was no way I could resist something so unusual. The playful mix of stripes and frills on this blouse is both charming and quirky. I’m a big fan of sheer sleeves because the ventilation is especially welcome during those perimenopausal hot flushes! As you’ll see further down the post, the pearl buttons have the cutest (albeit rather grumpy) cat faces on them. It’s little details like this that really delight me!
I chose this pink feathery bag to mimic the sheer frills on the blouse. It’s years old, and was second hand when I bought it. I have some very pretty pink embellished slingback shoes (featured in this post) that would look fabulous with this blouse, but these Converse are so comfortable and much more practical. I’d love them in multiple colours!
Life lately
I was hoping to have this post finished last night, but I got back from Birmingham late and was too exhausted to look at a screen. This week is a busy one workwise. I’m taking mum back to her house at the weekend for what will almost certainly be the last time as we’re expecting a completion date soon. It’ll be weird and probably a bit sad too. There’s lots to pack up and a lot of stuff to get rid of. I’m looking forward to a week off next week to hopefully relax and process it all. Onwards and upwards!
