. . . at this moment, it's softly tousled and romantically upswept, a whisper of ruffles and white satin sashes, palest champagne intermingling with rambling florals, pretty pink pouts and a feeling of spring in the air . . .

A Few Pretties: It's all in the details

big bow pencil skirt. tutorial. say yes to hobeken

One thing I've noticed, is that these are some classic pieces, in muted, wearable colors and clean lines.
However, they each have an unexpected touch of feminine detail... a bow, a special angled pleated collar, an interesting placket... all things that can really make something pop, without being overly in your face.

I am a jeans and fitted v-neck tee kind of a girl, so while going through my closet, I realized I had a plethora of 'fancier' blouses and tops that I love that have all of these little special details, but I simply never wear. So, I'm going to challenge myself to actually go out once in a while in a nice, unexpected fashion piece.

I'm rearranging my closet to put these blouses up front and push some tee's back. Think you will try to implement some old/new little details to your wardrobe this fall?
