The pussy-bow blouse

1343118295_white_cravat_by_bigbad_red-d54xhtiIt looks like the pussy bow blouse is back, again. It pops up more or less each year but never really makes it big. I have been trying to find one for at least a couple of cold seasons but have not managed yet, mainly because I find it either too expensive or too synthetic/cheap for my liking. This year there is a slightly different take of it, which I particularly like: v-neck, no collar apart from a thin string to do your bow with.

If you are unable to find the perfect pussy-bow blouse, or you are short of money right now, you can always do a bit of DIY. Buy either a string, or a ribbon, or even a scarf, then sew it on one of the blouses you already own.

Burt orange, rust, burgundy and blues

Back from my last summer holiday and already wishing autumn was sooner…

I am terribly excited about the new colours for the cold season, right now about these specific ones: burnt orange, rust, burgundy and blue. Some people might think I am a bit mad, I am so crazy about these shades and combinations of them, I can hardly wait to wear them! Imagine somebody looking at a famous painting and admiring it, feeling it’s one of the most beautiful things they have ever seen… well, that’s how I feel. Because I don’t think there’s a difference, if something is beautiful, it just is, no matter what it is. It could be a painting, a tree, a bird, or a combination of colours!!

Enough! Here they are:

Burgundy + imperial blue

Burnt orange and norse blue

I hate orange. But, provided it is matched with the right colours, I love these darker shades of orange. Blue, I like just about every shade available.
