The Find: A Scalloped Blouse

Jan 24, 2019

We talked on Tuesday about how tough it is to find blazers with feminine details, but what about blouses?  In my experience most are too basic, and when they try to punch up the femininity, they often go too far.  (There is such a thing as too much ruffle.)  But this one from H&M is the perfect balance of feminine and basic.

This H&M scalloped-detail blouse ($35) would look great under a blazer or cardigan.  I would also wear it solo with a pair of colorful trousers.  And it would be nice with thicker, ponte leggings and a sweater on the plane.

My plan is to use it in a Two Ways post early next week.  I wanted to have it up today, but the week got away from me.

    Wow, I love this. I can see this going to my casual workplace with jeans too!

    I also love this! I wonder how thick it is, I hate having to wear camisole’s for the purpose of concealing my bra/body. At such a great price though I think I might pay to find out! Looking forward to the Two Ways post on it!

    FYI Aritzia has a (much more expensive) cropped scalloped sweater I’ve been wavering on purchasing. https://www.aritzia.com/us/en/product/sardou-sweater/60326.html

    1. I love this!
    2. The blog has been great lately! I know you’ve been slammed with your new job in the Montana legislature but I feel like I can tell how much more inspired you are recently. I’ve been reading your blog for 6-7 years and I feel like I could tell how much you struggled the past couple years. I’ve been depressed since mid-2016 and only recently have begun to feel better. I’m so excited to not feel totally apathetic and unmotivated and I hope you are experiencing some of the same even with all you are still juggling! I’m rooting for you!

    I love a scallop. I don’t really look good in very frilly pieces, but the scallop is a bit feminine while still structured.

    Love this blouse! I have searched 4 quite some time for an affordable feminine scalloped blouse to wear to work or on date night. Thanks

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
