Puritan Rawshack





Apologies for the bizarre post title, but hear me out…!

I love the current trend I’ve seen on many bloggers of a button up shirt underneath a sweater with a statement necklace or brooch. I mean, I really love it. I haven’t seen an outfit based around this look that I haven’t liked yet – it reminds me of the Puritan look of contrasting white collars over black, and the jewellery makes it so modern and fresh.

And “Rorschach tests” (Mr. Summers says it’s pronounced raw-shack) are those ink blot tests psychologists use… I like that the last photo turned out to look like a rawshack due to the doubled shadows on the wall. And would you believe it, everyone at work yesterday said I looked very Puritan rawshack. Course they did 😉

    This is a great look. I've been admiring it on other bloggers as well, but yours is one of my favorite renditions. And the rawshack is just icing on the cake!

    I just found a white button down today and will have to rummage around for a cute cable knit crew. I have not a one brooch or statement necklace, but I can fix that soon….love to have a reason to shop.

    I adore your blog and am adding you to my blog roll today. I'd love it if you came over for a visit.
