The same day when I bought my red skirt ( I shared it two posts ago), a blouse in the same colour went home with me : this is going to be my red summer!!
:-)
The blouse has a funny shape which allows to style the piece differently :
With a knot at the middle front
Two knots on the two sides
Or just a one side knot ...
Not a big difference anyway.
Plus, honesty I have to admit that I usually wear the blouse with no knots at all.
It's funny, but when you are at the shop, details seem to be an extra reason for purchasing!
I also added red accessories to my outfit : lucky red crowns
( no, I don't believe in combinations between objects and what happens in real life . Do you? )
The other bracelet has a coin with a religious symbol ( found in a flea market ) tied up in a bow to a bangle .
Finally I wore my floral ring ( both already worn in many recent posts )
I matched my bracelets to a church with two big statues of saints ... (Yes, I really did!! )
very often the photos of the surroundings that I include in my posts are related to what I am talking about ( Sometimes in a very hidden way)
Do you have a favourite colour this summer?
You look absolutely stunning

...and you are very kind!
DeleteAs always, I am in awe of your jewelry making talent. The red color is beautiful on you and I love the versatility of the blouse. I think it will really be perfect for the creative in you. In the summer, I love pink corals and turquoise blues.
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear. I like corals too, but for some reason I own just a few things in that colour...
DeleteA lovely blouse, I love the design, and of course the color. The outfit with the white skirt is perfect, elegant and very summery.
ReplyDeleteRed looks so nice with white and a very summery combination indeed!
DeleteThe red blouse is lovely on you and perfect with your white skirt. The bracelets work beautifully , the red and silver reminds me of small chilli peppers. Clever you matching your bracelets to the wonderful church.
ReplyDeleteThe sacred heart of my bangle calls upon religion and the lucky red crowns popular beliefs. On the church two saints seem to suggest a faith solution ...
DeleteI love your blouse - I don't have any in red for some reason - I will have to buy one
ReplyDeleteI haven't been wearing red for years but at the moment I like it very much!
DeleteI always love pieces that can be changed up like this, Dan!! You just never know when the different ways might work better with different items!!
ReplyDeleteAnd red is the perfect color on you!!

Yes, the shape of my blouse makes it versatile ...
DeleteThat's such a pretty red top! I love that it has some unusual features. Even though you usually don't tie it, you may in the future... The red looks fabulous with white, and I really like your jewelry, too. And how interesting that you matched the bracelet to the church.

I not always match the backdrop to my photos to something in the post of course, but today both the pendants of my bracelets and the church have to do with popular beliefs...
DeleteOoohhh I am so in love with this blouse!! Dan, it is wonderful. Had we been in the shop together, we would have had to armwrestle for it. Oh no, you take a size smaller haha. Absolutely divine. Big desire for it here in The Netherlands. And you styled it very well.
ReplyDeleteGreetje
Well my blouse is in one size only ( probably because it's large and can fit many silhouette ), so ... we really would have had to armwrestle for it !! :-)
DeleteLove that red. That chilli pepper bracelet is so perfect for it. You always seem to find such good steps!
ReplyDeleteLast year's colour for me was yellow, I guess. When we finally get our teeth into summer here perhaps this year's colour will jump out at me! I'd like it to be your tomato red ...
Yellow is one of my favourite colors ever, and I always love when I find a nice piece in that colour...
DeleteP.s.
I wish you can get teeth into summer soon!!! :-)
That's a fun blouse! I actually like it tied both ways. My favourite colour this season is definitely pink. Never wore pink, this season I can't get enough of it!
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can remember I haven't bought nothing in pink this year. But., as the end-of-the-season sales are just here ... you can never Know!
DeleteWhat a beautiful blouse, Dan!
ReplyDeleteI also love red in this summer and I tried red clothes this summer, but I wasn't comfortable wearing them.
So I gave my sister them...
I really love the shape and color of yours!!!
I will look for red blouse like your one!

I haven't been wearing red clothes for a long time but I recently bought some pieces that I really like. I have a sister too and sometimes do the same as you...lucky sisters,aren't they?? :-)
DeleteYou're looking great in red, and that blouse is really special! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt has a funny shape and since it is large, is very comfortable!
DeleteStunning blouse Dan, both the colour and the style which makes it so versatile.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gail!
DeleteThe top is lovely. I prefer it flowing too. I love Red and I'm just thinking why don't I wear it more?!! I love the handbag lurking in the background too. That's gorgeous!xx

I often prefer the blouse flowing. Unless I am wearing a wide skirt ...
DeleteBags are my passion, the today's one is Armani
I think you look great in red! I am a red fanatic, I not only have a number of tops in red, but I just bought a red car--that's my 5th one in red! It's one of those colors that actually goes very well with others too, I love pairing it with navy, tan, black.
ReplyDeleteRed is a vitaminic colour. I should try it with tan...it sounds good!!
