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–A Spring Blazer

I’ve shown you a blouse, a dress, and a pair of palazzo pants that I purchased from the Miss Candyfloss “Viva Rita” collection…now let’s take a look at the Claudia-Sable blazer that ties them all together!

First I paired the blazer with the Poria-Sable dress. The collar and cuffs on the jacket match the print on the dress:

I went with white, pink, and silver accessories for this look, including a Splendette stack featuring a floral bangle, my very sparkly brooch from the Royal Collection, and a white hat and gloves:

Next I paired it with the Donna-Sable palazzo pants (and also the Cleona-Floria sheer floral blouse, which you can barely see here)…they’re the same beautiful shade of blue!

This time, I chose accessories in shades of coral and pink, including a boater hat from Vixen by Micheline Pitt, another Splendette stack, and an Erstwilder brooch:

Here’s a bonus look at the blazer paired with an all-white eyelet dress from last year’s spring/summer collection. I love the way the white makes the blue of the blazer pop even more!

I picked blue and white accessories this time, including another Splendette stack and an Erstwilder brooch:

Finally, I also paired the blazer with a skirt from last year’s autumn/winter collection (the same skirt I wore with the Cleona-Floria blouse). They’re not quite the same shade of blue, but I still really like how they look together!

For this look, I featured yellow accessories including yet another Splendette stack and another Erstwilder brooch. I love how versatile this blazer is, and how many different colors can be worn with it!

I’m really loving these mix-and-match pieces this spring…they offer a lot of different styling options!

Sartorial Saturday–Palazzo Pants for Spring

Last week, I shared pictures of a lovely Miss Candyfloss dress perfect for spring; this week, I’m looking at a pair of lightweight pants in the same beautiful shade of blue, the charming Donna-Sable palazzo pants!

I paired them with the Cleona-Floria sheer floral blouse, also from this spring’s “Viva Rita” collection:

I accessorized with an Erstwilder brooch and stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, plus a boater hat in a pretty shade of blush pink:

While I have several Miss Candyfloss jumpsuits, I only own one other pair of pants, and they’ve a heavier weight for autumn, so I’m really happy I was able to add something that works for the warmer months to my wardrobe!
