This jacket is really pretty with a delicate shimmer on the fabric. The blouse is a sleeveless black and white print that I got at Dillards extra 40% off all reduced mdse. In reading the September fashion magazine issues, it looks like tie neck blouses are the latest trend. I think this one can be worn year round. It is sheer, but wearing it under a jacket makes it seasonless.
We were hurrying to take pictures because the battery was dying. So, I did not notice that my hair was sticking out on the side. I used Bumble and bumble Texture on towel dried hair and let it dry. It is the only product I have found that doesn't have a perfumey scent and actually gives some texture to my hair. My dear husband is more concerned with snapping as many pictures as quickly as possible than making sure that I look presentable. Ah well, that is the world of the over 50 fashion blogger who has no professional stylist!
I adore tie neck blouses. There was a time when I thrifted practically every one I found. This was about two years ago. I love yours with the gorgeous pink jacket. I love a bit of color on you.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that product would work on my hair. I've been wanting to try some textured looks since my hair is growing back out but everything is so stinky/perfume filled.
That's a great tie-collar blouse, Debbi - love the Dillards sale! It's another sign of our shared age: when the doorbell rings, my husband says, "it could be Ed McMann . . ." : >
ReplyDeleteI like this rose colored shade of pink...it is a great color for you!
ReplyDeleteThat tie blouse is great; I can see it worn with so many different things. And we are always ready when someone knocks on the door when we are personal style bloggers! I guess we are our own personal stylists! Debbie http://thriftygirlvintage.com
ReplyDeletelol--no, one never knows who will come knocking..
ReplyDeleteYou look great in this pink and your hair is just wonderful! I use bumble and bumble too--and lots of other products!
Love your tie neck blouse! Those are my faves! The blouse looks perfect with that pink shimmer blazer! This post is hilarious because my daughter and I had the same issue with the camera a couple of days ago! I missed the Dillard's extra 40% off sale for the 1st time in about 5 years!! The next one I hit up will be the New Years sale. That one is usually an extra 50% off!! My mother in law and I go every year! Kiah
ReplyDeleteLove that pink blazer! Everything is better in pink! :)
