This was a totally spontaneous purchase - not my usual style, but I couldn't resist the pretty pattern. There are crocuses on this shirt! Might be the closest I get to spring flowers this year!

The stock photo shows it with a semi tuck, but I think I prefer it with no tuck what so ever. Do you have a preference? Styling ideas? Comments appreciated!

What a pretty floral blouse! I like all the ways you styled it, it looks good both tucked and untucked. I especially like outfit #4.

Aida

Looks great both with the faux tuck (#2) and fully untucked (#3/4). I think I prefer both of those to the full semi-tuck as the catalog photo shows, because I like seeing the contrast band. Pretty blouse! Totally adore the outfit in #4 by the way

Thanks Tanya! I like the springy feel of #4 too. Hopefully I'll be able to road test it soon

Perfect spring blouse! Love the print. All the stylings you have done look great, I particularly like #3/4 because the white jeans and shoes and pale jacket emphasize the fresh clean colors I associate with spring.

Lovely blouse! What type of fabric?

Wonderful styling in #4!!

Great blouse. And I agree -- #3/4 is super a fresh spring look.

I agree Aida - the contrast band deserves to be seen. Thanks for the thumbs up!

That's it Rabbit! The faded jeans have a muddy look in comparison to the crisp clean white and light blue. I tried it with a denim jacket and didn't bother to take a photo - it just felt so off. Amazing the difference a few tweaks can make.

Thanks AJ and AM! AJ - the blouse is a gauzy polyester. I am wearing a flesh tone cami underneath, and I could get away with just a bra due to pocket placement.

Fantastic choice! I like in untucked - love #4!

Wonderful blouse. I like it best untucked - love the contrasting band. I think the blouse works well with both pants.

So pretty and spring-like. The colors look wonderful with both blue and white jeans. I like the semituck in 2.

That's a great looking top and I like the way you styled it.

SQUEEEE!!!! Love everything about this...and I'm so glad you got the sandal booties. Aren't they wonderful?

I adore that blouse - I'm really liking what Joe Fresh has this spring. Might need to copy you on the blouse since it would work with my jeans (white and denim) and my light blue blazer. Thanks for the inspiration

This is SOOOOO pretty on you! What a great purchase. I love it styled as you have done with the faded jeans and the white. #4 is just stunning on you!

Thanks for your kind words and floral blouse love ladies! That light blue jacket has sat languishing in my closet for a couple of years...I think it's moment to shine has come

Shannon - I adore the sandal booties! I was a bit nervous about the fit since I had to size down...but I've been wearing them around the house and they are super comfortable. Might be able to bust them out on the street soon

The blouse would look smashing on you..I hope you get it!!!

Wow - love this on you! Really a pretty blouse, and it should absolutely be worn untucked. Great styling you've done too.

Oh, what a pretty blouse! I love both outfits but I think pic #4 wins hands down. YLF!
