Yesterday, I got this lovely little clothes line broach in the mail, when I first saw it on my tumblr feed I was taken away by the cuteness of this sweet little piece of jewelry. I came across this blouse at Annex Vintage last week, I love the cartoon tiger print on it with the big pointed white collar and cuffs. I have quite a few crazy printed blouses in my closet and I was having such a hard time styling it for real life till I met this denim circle skirt. I find that when styling a crazy vintage piece like this blouse the best way to go is with modern up to date basics, it makes me feel less like I am wearing a costume.

I know I keep talking about the weather but it sure has been nuts! Last week was Summer and today is back to nasty Winter weather, there is actually snow on the ground this morning, I guess the fancy shoes will have to go in hibernation for a few more weeks ;(

Have a great week everyone!

I love the subtlety of the print on the blouse! Maybe it's just the sunlight...but it looks really nice :)

No. Way. Is that seriously a cute little clothesline collar fastener? It is just the most darling piece of jewelry...I'm quite green with envy! Would look adorable pinned on a cardi too.

Now following you on bloglovin' based on this post alone! Denim skirt to "ground" the novelty print is a really good idea.

The skirt is just fabulous and the kind of thing I could never get away with. Wish I had a close-up of the clothesline.

That denim circle skirt is awesome. Especially with your yellow top!

You look marvelous and I can't get my eyes off your new pin. In fact I kept scrolling down to see a close up!

I am all about those cute little collar pins you seem to be wearing lately. I have a whole collection of them in my etsy favourites too, they are so fun!
