I guess now I'm curious where the line is between good matchy and bad matchy.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Beth Ann - well darn, boxy capris and wedge slides were totally going to be the next way I styled this. Ha ha ha.&nbsp;</p> <p>@ Deborah - thanks for that! I have worn this blouse with a cardigan in the past, but I always did up the cardigan, which pushed it back into dressy territory. I can't believe I didn't think to go with an open cardi, but instead spent my work day shivering. (True story - I looked so pathetic that eventually my coworker gave me her sweatshirt to wear and I looked dumpy and thrown together the whole rest of the day. D'oh.)&nbsp;&nbsp;Adding the chunky necklace with it is great, too. I think I'll rewear with some of those ideas, as&nbsp;Old lady Blouse 2.0! :D&nbsp;</p> <p>@jayne - oh my gosh, I would be so tickled if someone copied my look, even if I was initially copying someone else!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-old-lady-blouse#post-1023534 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 10:03:29 +0000 jayne 1023534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That look would fit right in, in my ultra causal office too.&nbsp; Think I can copy you monday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-old-lady-blouse#post-1023533 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 10:01:27 +0000 Deborah 1023533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Saw a post on an Aussie blogger today re styling the "Granny Shirt" and I thought of this post.

Killer hair color, too. And shoes. Beautiful blouse - love the sort of granny chic print and how you casualized it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-old-lady-blouse#post-1017490 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 03:15:02 +0000 Deborah 1017490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love "old lady blouses":) I think your styling is great here. I understand your perception of this blouse too, I would make a similar assessment myself, but the colours are lovely and the jeans and the cools shoes make this whole outfit work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-old-lady-blouse#post-1017489 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 03:12:53 +0000 FlorenceFearne 1017489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny how much these things are a matter of perception. To me the combination of burgundy/pink/mauve, and the ornate print make this blouse feel a bit fussy - hence the "old lady." But obviously I still love it enough to wear it, so I can't say it's a bad thing! :D&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-old-lady-blouse#post-1017480 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 03:01:49 +0000 Susie 1017480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blouse looks great paired with the Docs and the jeans look good with them.

So after looking at&nbsp;Firecracker's recent post pairing slouchy jeans with a floral blouse, I decided to try a similar approach.&nbsp;</p> <p>In lieu of her color-coordinated ballet flats, I&nbsp;chose some vintage Doc Martens to match my "old lady" baroque blouse. Then I swapped skinnies for the BFs,&nbsp;made my first ever attempt at a half tuck, and I was off to the races!&nbsp;</p> <p>My inspiration:&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-floral-silk-slouchy-skinnies">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....y-skinnies</a></p>
