Dress That Mama: Delicate Black

I am definitely edging more and more towards a feminine wardrobe– I snagged this silk floral semi-sheer blouse during the New Year’s sales and it was meant to be. I had seen it (the single blouse, the only one on the rack, in my exact size) a couple of months ago and didn’t buy it because I was Christmas shopping for everyone else, but it stayed in my mind and I regretted not getting it, which rarely happens to me. Usually it takes me months to finally decide on something and I shop with intention, walking into a store and going straight for what it is I was thinking about or stalking online, making the actual amount of time I spend in a store under 10 minutes. No exaggerating. Or I wait for something special I’ve had my eye on to go on sale online… it’s a little obsessive really. 

But this thing, it was waiting for me, discounted even more, and as soon as I tried it on, I imagined wearing it with bright red lips, black clogs, maybe my high-waisted black Imogene & Willie jeans that Andrew so thoughtfully wrapped for me on Christmas Eve (thank you, lovie). When I met a friend for coffee while wearing this outfit, she commented on how “Lauren” it was, so I guess it all worked out in the end! 

I think the style is very vintage and feminine, and just edgy enough with the black high-waisted jeans. Bringing old school ladylike back to this town! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
