dotty is so close to being done

confetti tie-neck blouse blue blog style dotty style dot layered j.crew winter tights boots piped blazer
[wearing]
confetti tie-neck blouse: thrifted
stripes: target (exactly)
blazer: gap
skirt: from a forever21 dress
sweater tights: target
boots: forever21 (similar)

and
this was totally inspired by anna of sparkplug minuet who also included a tie-neck blouse in her thirty.  
oh, and thrift stores are flooded with tie-neck numbers like this one.  most of them are white and involve some sort of mock-neck with buttons or lace, but seriously...every single secretary from the 80s is apparently clearing out her closet and there's a fairly good chance that this will not be the last one that comes home with me.  note to all my shirts that cannot tie into bows, you have been warned.

    I love tie-neck blouses! I'm so glad they are sort of "in" again, I've been able to find some at regular stores like H&M!

    I love the mental picture of all the Working Girls from the 80s headed to the thrift stores with their tieneck bowy blouses at the same time! This looks absolutely modern and wonderful on you!

    This print mixing is so me. Monochromatic, and simply chic! I loves it.

    What a great combo... I can't believe this one didn't get pulled out until #29! It's a testament to how great your "challenge" looks have been, I guess.


    Leaving the House in THIS?!?!

    This is ADORABLE! I, too, am a sucker for a tie neck blouse but I am especially coveting the one you are wearing! Love the print! :)
