I keep on saying I don’t like colour but I haven’t realised, until now, I wear it more and more. Age? Probably. Wisdom? Certainly!!
Anyhow, here is blouse which will make your jeans look very much “Spring is here”:
& Other Stories Silk Shirt red

I do go on about white shirts a lot, I know. But, let’s be honest, we never seem to have enough of them; the time we see a new style, or we realise we are missing a classic one … and they do go with just about everything (like jeans). Of course mid-season, I find, is the perfect time for shirts.
It’s nearly autumn, one can start adding things…a scarf, a string of pearls, a waistcoat, a jacket, etc. I do think a look is better with more than two things, or colours, for that matter.
Anyhow, here are the latest designs I found and like:
They are all nice to wear on their own, because they are so beautiful, but some will look nice with yesterday’s waistcoats too. Others will look fabulous with a long pearl necklace. Jeans are always a great match, but I especially like them with skirts lately.
My favourites are the Atterley, Babaton e the Zara frilly one!

The weather is really playing up, which translates into: what the …. am I going to wear today?!! Too hot for wool sweaters or dresses, too cold for t-shirts…
there we are, it’s shirts time again! I find mid-season is the right moment for this garment. There are so many nice ones around but, nothing beats a white shirt. I assume most of us has at least one… although it really isn’t enough, is it? I have had my usual look around and it seems there’s a lot of silk available, which is always very nice if a little delicate…
Anyway, I am a bit fed up I must say with classic shirts, so, I have tried to find some alternatives, which are mostly without collar. If you were to dress in one with a collar though, these are the rules I follow:
1 looks best with your hair up otherwise it all becomes too busy
&Other stories silk blouse
2 were you to wear earings, they should be small, on the lobe only and simple
Dior
1 it is worth investing some money in it, unless it is a style you feel sure it will either go out of fashion soon or you will get fed up with quickly
2 unless made to go on top of your skirt/trousers, I think it should be worn inside, not too tucked in nor too little. I put it in and then lift my arms up, that, for me, is just the right amount of “out”! Don’t forget a belt if wearing trousers with loops!
3 never too tight, it really looks awful when you see those bulges at the sides!!!!!! Of course, if your chest is generous I would avoid low-cut ones and the opposite too.
4 if the very loose kind and perhaps long too, wear something much tighter and lengthening on your legs.
5 it is true white goes with everything but… well, I like it with :
a. black for the evening, difficult instead for day time wear, the risk is to look too elegant or worse, funeral/waiter look.
b. I always love it with denim.
f. don’t like it with red, yellow or bright colours in general.
Well, that’s all that comes to mind for now.
