My love for Victorian-inspired clothing runs deep. You may remember me expressing my adoration for high-neck blouses and dresses in this post? Or maybe this one? Unfortunately after trying on multiple billowing blouses and lace-collar dresses, I’ve found it is not a flattering look on my big-boobed frame. Cue the tears. While I can’t seem to pull off the full Victorian look, I did find this inspired blouse with a subtle ruffle trim that looks amazing! I love the soft nude color – it’s a beautiful neutral for wearing with other creamy colors and solids year round. When buttoned all the way up, it’s got the vibes of a high-neck collar without actually being one. Score! If nude isn’t your color, it also comes in wine and black. A lovely blouse for the work week or a night out!
Also excited to be sporting another pair of statement earrings from Elizabeth Cole. Aren’t these incredible? The color option I’m wearing here comes out for holiday soon, so I’ll be sure to let you know when they’re live! In the meantime, you can shop them in this classic crystal look. If you happen to prefer a little more color, they also come in this wild combo! This same silhouette comes in a slightly smaller earring too.
Top: Theory (also available in black and wine), Jeans: FRAME Denim, Bag: Chanel, Shoes: Manolo Blahnik, Earrings: c/o Elizabeth Cole, Rings: Margaret Elizabeth & BaubleBar (old – similar here), Nails: Deborah Lippmann polish in Dark Side of the Moon
