A blue ruffle blouse anchors a sunny look.
I wore this feminine combo 10 days ago when a summer day soared into the winter doldrums like a comet.
Pale chiffon tiers compliment the sky blue ruffle blouse,
as it mirrors the hue of the horizon.
Imagine a mesh snake wrapping my waist by Whiting and Davis, and you can see my signature anti-formulaic look. Blue ruffled boots, last seen here, are a rich shade of complimentary cobalt blue.
Happiness abounds on this warm day. My smile is bright, but quizzical. Is this weather for real? As wonderful as it feels, this does not bode well for the planet!
My blue ruffle blouse is the only new thing that I am wearing.
Purchased locally, I enjoy wearing this soft shade.
Pictured below is a shot of the blouse and mesh snake belt. Jeweled eyes make this whimsical belt a fun accessory.
Wicker and leather bags are a lifetime favorite of mine. This one is vintage by Ralph Lauren. Keeping this bag strap company are two bracelets that I was thrilled to find in my tiny size!
A light breeze grazed my shoulders and my hair stayed obediently in soft ringlets. When a day feels like magic I stay with that delightful sense as earnestly as possible.
CELEBRATING THIS PERFECT DAY, I WENT FOR A WALK . I PASSED BY GOYARD AND ALWAYS THRILL TO SEE THIS CHIC RAINBOW STACK OF TRUNKS JUST URGING ME TO TRAVEL SOMEWHERE EXOTIC, AND BACK IN TIME AS WELL!
Off to Versace for an edgier look for accessories. Can you imagine which look I prefer?
Tell me what you remember when you had an unexpectedly warm day? Are you a fan of the blue ruffle blouse or are you more of a crisp white short girl? My preference is equal for both ! Enjoy the week and the inevitable ups and downs. As I write, this I am readying my house, and refrigerator, for another winter storm !

Blue ruffle blouse bought locally is sold out, similar here. Tiered silk chiffon skirt was thrifted, similar here . Whiting and Davis snake belt was purchased and at consignment, and a similar one is here . The best place to shop for Edwardian style jewelry is 1stdibs.com , but they are expensive. Also try Ebay and Etsy, great places to shop small!
I love the ruffles on ruffles, Elle. You make it look so feminine and pretty. I’m going to have to try this because it’s so lovely!!

Thank you very much. It is a favorite color of mine.
❤️Elle
Blouse is very good on you. This colour does not do me any favours, but it does to you. Love the belt. I wonder how you put it on. The ranbpw of trunks is a happy site. Wouldn’t mind one of these. Your question about the two bags.. which one would you choose? I don’t know. You have different sides to your character, but I will go with the black one.

Thanks Greetje,
I do love this color and I agree it is pretty good with my blonde hair and pale skin. I’m actually still not sure which of the bags I would choose, but would love to have one of the Goyard trunks as a coffee table!
❤️ Elle
Love the details of this gorgeous blouse! I like a little bit of everything myself when it comes to style.

Dear Elle, I see you had a really warm day! Honestly, I can’t remember the last unexpected warm day here in Bavaria – I have to admit I’m in general not good in remembering the weather in the past 🙂 Your ruffled blouse is a dream and I so love how you have styled it. And your closet is definitely full of gems as you wore only this new thing xx from Bavaria/Germany, Rena

Oh I think my computer ate my comment 🙁
I was saying what a lovely blouse it was, and how I liked the ruffle top and skirt together, makes for a really nice outfit.
Hope the winter storm weather wasn’t too bad for you, adn things get back to normal soon!

I really like that soft pale blue ruffle top and the delicate yet edgy way the belt goes with it. Nicely done.
Amazing look, love the delicate blue shade and the choice to accessorize it with that elegant snake belt. The contrast between the light blue blouse and the strong, dark blue boots is very elegant and raphined. All your choices reflect your style and personality very well and I can see you with both Versace bags because Versace is a brand made for you.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Regards,
Flo
you can’t go wrong with ruffles! I love love your belt, what a beautiful statement xx
