Wore this yesterday to go out for coffee. This is (was) my new favourite blouse. It’s actually modern, but 1940s in style, and it’s silk! I say was my favourite blouse because I wore it last night to do a one-off waitressing job and managed to spill hot coffee all over myself. I now have a nasty red burn on my wrist to remind myself not to be so stupid in the future. Hopefully I’ll be able to get the blouse clean.
This is probably the first nice thing I’ve worn in two weeks! I’ve been working so much that I’m starting to feel like I live in the nursing home myself.
I love this outfit!!!!
Love the shorts
lovely picture and it's nice we can see your lovely (and hopefully not defunct) blouse in all its detail!
Awh, pretty outfit-shame about the blouse getting stained, looks lovely! xxxxxxxxx
I hope the blouse isn't totally irreparable. It is too perfect! The color, the fabric and the cut. Crossing fingers for you!
I like this outfit very much. Simple and very put together :)

You look fabulous – head to toe :) and having a great hair day. I adore your shoes. well done
You are prettiest thing I've ever seen!
I love every single thing about your outfit!
i love that clutch and those shoes! great post. love your blog!
To clean the blouse, try this: soak it in Dr Bronner's Magic Soap (or any other gentle soap), then add vinegar to your rinsing water. The blouse will stay soft and nice, the silk won't be damaged. Hope you can save it, it's lovely (and your bag is amazing)!
Perfect outfit! I love the blouse and the length of the shorts!

You are beautiful & we love seeing you!

oh my goodness that blouse is incredible! i really wish i owned it
So beautiful! I love the whole ensemble. And as far as embarrasing spills go, I've totally been there. I work at a coffee shop and once I was dispensing the 200 degree hot water into a teacup and the water was so hot the cup exploded in my hands and burned me all over! In front of all my customers, no less.
Adorable! I love the large photos!
And your sunglasses are the thrift store find of my dreams.
I sure hope you are able to salvage that blouse.
xoxo,
Gina
I love those shoes!!
This outfit is perfect from head to toe!!!! I love every piece and I love your hair!
I think I already loved navy with creams and browns but you wear them ten times better than I ever could! Your outfit is so smart yet so cool; simply brilliant!
This outfit is so wonderful. I saw it on calivintage and I flipped, don't know why it took me so long to comment it though, sorry! I adore the classic colors, navy, brown and cream! Such a stunning outfit! :) Your hair also looks great!
So darling!
lusting the top! i've been searching for one just like it :)

Pity about the blouse, I hate when the colour of a dress washes into your white peter pan collar, that really frustrates me!
lucky having a job, money money money!
hope the hand is ok too! x
Very cute outfit!
