Sartorial Saturday–A Cap-Sleeve Blouse for Warmer Weather

Today I’m very excited to share my first purchase from Miss Candyfloss’ newest collection, Chérie Bardot (named for and inspired by 50s/60s French icon Brigitte Bardot)! As soon as I saw the Acosta-Lee cap-sleeve blouse, I knew it was a perfect match for the Donna-Sable palazzo pants from last year’s spring/summer collection, and I wasn’t disappointed…they look like they were made for each other!

I accessorized with my Elizabeth Claire Taylor hoop earrings, an Erstwilder brooch, a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles (plus a beaded bracelet made by Ladybug that looks lovely with the blouse), and my favorite hat:

I love how light and breezy the blue and yellow tartan is…perfect for spring!

And I absolutely adore the stand-up collar and square neckline!

I also styled it untucked, which is a new way for me to wear a Miss Candyfloss blouse (even though they style their blouses that way frequently). I still think I like the more polished, tucked-in look better, but it’s nice to have options, and this is a fun, relaxed look!

I have a few more pieces from this collection I’m hoping to buy when they’re released…stay tuned!

Sartorial Saturday–My Favorite Miss Candyfloss Style

While I’m waiting to add some new autumn pieces to my wardrobe, I thought I’d take a look at my very favorite Miss Candyfloss dress style, which features a pleated bustline that provides an amazing fit, and a row of buttons all the way down the front, which gives you a great option for wearing exposed shorts under it in the summer! The Virtue-Violette is a beautiful sleeveless pink and blue checked option:

The Estee-Spring dress is a short-sleeve option with lovely pastel stripes:

The Heidi-Abalone is a tartan dress with 3/4 sleeves perfect for autumn:

Here’s an example of how you can wear shorts under this style of dress for a light and breezy summer look:

This style extends to playsuits, as well. Of course, they don’t button all the way down the front, and you can’t wear them with shorts, but they have the same lovely bustline and buttons down the front. The Morna-Bo is a long-sleeve option perfect for cooler days:

The lovely Acantha-Fire has short sleeves perfect for summer:

And for really hot days, the Belicia-Minty is a sleeveless choice:

This style even extends to blouses. I only have one, the Efrona-Lee, and it pairs well with skirts, pants, and skorts!

I really love that I’ve been shopping with Miss Candyfloss long enough that I can immediately identify which pieces are my favorite style, and know that they’ll look great and I’ll feel great in them!

Sartorial Saturday–A Tartan Blouse

Time for a look at one last piece from the Miss Candyfloss “Viva Rita” collection! I don’t have a lot of tops, so I decided to add the Efrona-Lee tartan bishop-sleeve blouse to my wardrobe. It has the same button front and bustline that I love in so many of my Miss Candyfloss dresses and jumpsuits, and is beautiful in blue, white, and grey.

For my first wearing, I paired it with the Idalia-Lee skort, also from the “Viva Rita” collection. I’m looking forward to wearing it with the Donna-Sable palazzo pants, too!

I accessorized in blues and greys as well. I borrowed brooches from two of my daughters, both from the Erstwilder Paris Holiday collection. I also added a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, plus my Elizabeth Claire Taylor hoop earrings, light grey gloves, and my favorite tan hat.

This is a great blouse for the warmer months, and will transition well into fall, too!

Even thought it doesn’t have short sleeves, it’s still a pretty breezy top for summer!

I’m already looking forward to seeing what surprises the autumn/winter collection has in store!

Sartorial Saturday–A Sheer Floral Blouse for Spring

I don’t have a lot of blouses in my wardrobe (mainly because I primarily wear dresses, not skirts), and the few I do have are more suitable for autumn and winter. When I saw the new Cleona-Floria sheer floral blouse from Miss Candyfloss, I knew it would be the perfect spring addition to by closet. For its first outing, I paired it with last season’s Cressida-Lee skirt, and they really look like they were meant to go together!
