In honour of the winter solstice, I thought I would celebrate the Yule tradition of bringing evergreen holly, ivy, and mistletoe into the home in the way I know best: through clothing. Besides, my black thumb has already killed my poinsettia a week before Christmas so staying with silk greenery is probably a safer bet.
This blouse also gave me the opportunity to wear a beloved green charm bracelet that I love but rarely wear because I can't type with it on. And of course I wore it black and white. Henry VIII might have pretended to be as faithful as the holly remains green but I am a truly steadfast lover of black and white no matter the season.Blouse: Nanette Lepore, Ebay

Have you ever worn that cardigan with the black and white polka blouse you just posted?
ReplyDeleteI love this blouse, like all of your Nanette Lepore purchases! I think you've just inspired me to do some internet window shopping.
I almost wore the cardigan with that blouse the other day but felt the stripes had more impact because I was wearing my black rainboots--I will for sure be pairing them together when I can do a coloured shoe! And of course will blog about it...
ReplyDeleteI love that chose to wear it with the stripes because you did such a great job mixing patterns. I feel like we've finally met in the middle of pattern mixing -- me jumping in and then toning it down until it worked, you observing and then deciding exactly how it should be done,
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you also thought of the blouse-cardigan combo! I think it will look so cute since they're both irregular spots. It seems like an occasion for those red heels you have...
Erin, you look incredible!
