A Wardrobe Must Have

You've seen this blouse in my anniversary post and in a couple Instagram photos, but honestly it deserves its own moment. I got this white blouse with the feminine ruffles while shopping at Very Best Vintage (with Elisabeth!). When I picked it up I immediately fell in love! It's such a versatile staple that I was missing from my collection, but even better because it still had personality! I've worn this top so many times now I feel like; to the botanical gardens with a polka dot waistcoat, out to dinner with Elisabeth last Monday (pictured below), and over my sleeveless romper the other day. Now that I have this as an option everyday I realized how many outfits I can use this for! Honestly, before I was just like "eh I don't need a plain white blouse. I want patterns, color, etc..." It doesn't have to be anything fancy or expensive! There's tons at thrift stores, but its definitely worth while to get your closet stocked up with the basics. It helps you to use the more unique pieces without looking like too much you know? Some statement pieces should stand alone in an outfit. Anyway, here's the look from my dinner last Monday. I wore the blouse over top of my very light blue slip skirt that I actually made into a slip dress by safety pinning to a bra (I will sew on someday...maybe) but I like the skirt as a skirt so I unbuttoned the back two or three buttons on the back of the top and tied it together so it would gather tightly in my waist. ---That's another cool thing: it buttons in the back! Which looks really cute with a high waisted skirt/pants/shorts and the shirt unbuttoned just to the top of the waistline of your choice of bottoms! The rest of my outfit includes these cute white fishnet tights from Target, hat and shoes thrifted, an antique scarf from my grandma, and this ukulele which I am just learning for the hell of (it some of you know that from Insta).

Thanks so much, everyone!

love,
