Capsule wardrobes inspired by art and nature
It's been her favorite color since she was three years old, and she sees NO reason to give it up as an adult...
So are we weary of this idea? Frankly, I know many people who dress exactly like this, and I have at least six or seven more iterations of the theme available, if you're interested in seeing them...

Blouse and matching skirt:
Blouse and pencil skirt:
Blouse over tee shirt with matching skirt or shorts:
Blouse with trousers, or AGAIN with a matching skirt:
Blouse as a jacket over a tank top and trousers, or with white trousers:
Blouse with matching trousers, worn as a jacket over a striped or a solid tee shirt:
I'll be away for a few days at a family celebration, so I won't be posting, or responding to comments and emails. Rest assured, I'll be back here Tuesday late morning, after my ridiculously early work shift!
