Hi friends, actually wearing something new today so thought I'd share ... This striped boxy blouse from BR is perfect for a hot sticky day ... Light and breezy. Paired with trusty white Gap skinnies and layered necklaces. Dire need of a haircut! Happy Sunday all xx

ETA: Here is a link to this blouse. My laptop is giving me trouble so I'll try to create a Find later

Summer pretty! Love your outfit - lots of white with subtle stripes and brown accessories ( matches your hair color nicely )!

The new blouse Looks wonderful with your white pants. I like how the sleeves are rolled for just the right length and a casual look.

Absolutely perfect on you, Helena! I echo slimcat on how well you wear brown accents.

Thanks so much! The belt was $6 at Canadian Tire lol! But it's great and easy to knot so it looks a bit more interesting

Very cute! You have such good luck with BR tops. This cut is perfect. Can you post a find/link so I can try to dupe you?

Thanks so much for the kind words everyone!

My hair ... sigh ... it's SO orange right now, and the ends are like straw. I did try to style it as we were going to visit my always-immaculately-turned-out mother in law, so I'm glad I succeeded somewhat!

Thanks again; notsaf, I added the link for the top; it's on huge discount! I think every top I wear regularly at the moment is BR, which is a reflection of the fact that I have no clue where else to shop for my budget, style and lifestyle

You look very polished and well put together. Even your toes match. Good Cdn Tire score.

Stylefan, thanks - yes, I can only shop at BR AND Canadian Tire, I should have said

Thanks for the comments on my pedi and I have to say, white is THE best summer pedi colour for me - neutral, but also bright! It's a shellac one and still looks perfect almost a month later. My fingernails on the other hand ... well of course I started peeling the shellac and long story short, they are now super-short and a complete mess *sigh* ... I do it every time with shellac! *facepalm*

Hey - what's wrong with orange hair?!!
PS - yours is NOT orange at all!

Looks great- hair and all! And ditto nemosmom!

Helena

Veteran

Lol Nemos ... if it was sassy gorgeous redhead like yours, I'd love it!! But it's more sun-faded sad brunette at the moment

So cute. The shirt is perfect. I am a sucker for blue or gray stripes in button- front shirts of all types.

Ooh yes, that is nice!

Thanks for the link! I'm seriously thinking about lemming this one.

Perfect summer outfit.BR has been really great the past year or so.

Admire you for pulling it all together and making the effort! it's so hard to rouse myself to add accessories. I've been wearing my anchor necklace for months, cause it is too much trouble to reach around there and unclasp it!
Also, I've sworn off nail polish but now I miss how nice it looks. You look great!

Thanks for the find, Angie! TG, what size did you take in this?

Helena

Veteran

Thanks Angie!

Notsaf, it's as XS which is my usual size for BR ... You could size up one of you wanted it boxier, but your regular size is likely ideal, it's fairly roomie.
