Colour blocking perfection in a shirt, that’s what this is: thank you Topshop…! I seem to have a thing for sheer blouses and shirts as my collection has grown to probably seven or eight of them. I was originally going to wear a nude top underneath this, but decided to go with black in the end… so yes I’m showing off my underwear a bit (not the usual me), but I still think it looks pretty!
I wore this to my sister’s 50th birthday party (Happy Birthday for the other week, V!) and the hairstyle was achieved with a small hair donut – I find it’s the only way to get a nice neat bun without my hair falling out all over the place.

I sooo love your skirt…the rich pattern is wonderful. And I'm liking sheer tops lately too. Beautiful. Lynaea @ EveryDayBloom.com
I love a chevron print and it looks awesome on you! It makes me want to get busy sewing because that style is so flattering. It would be easy to make, don't you think?
Probably one of my favorite outfits, ever. Really, seriously INTERESTING to look at, and while lots of things are beautiful, they don't always rise to this level of smart.
Sigh.
I Love the skirt. It doesnt hurt too that it has a lot of colors. You can pair it up with different tops to achieve different looks.
And yes, the stacked arm candies are beautiful!

Love this skirt! The way it's sewn is so awesome so the chevron print meets at an angle.
Blessings!

Oh I am dying over those chevrons, amazing, you look wonderful as always! I came by to gush over that bright blue shopper you shared with us for the "How I Wear My: Everyday Bag" post. I love that shade of blue and you look so good carrying it. I don't think you ever take a bad picture my dear! XO, Jill
Jill you do flatter me too much…! Thanks so much, and for hosting the great feature of course xx
That is such an elegant outfit. I definitely covet the skirt and shirt! In fact I am heading over to the websites right now….
The skirt is the nearest I could find to my one, Gail – but the blouse is new so still available! Thanks hun xo
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my heart melts everytime I see you wearing a skirt; and what a fabulous one…
The transparent blouse is fantastic too.

Great outfit, risqué and courageously, the colours harmonise perfectly..
however – very tastefully.

This is a fabulous oufit! It shows your great figure.
Perfect styling, so feminine and a bit retro.

What a perfect graphic outfit. Love it. The first thing I thought was "what a nice shirt she is wearing underneath that blouse". So don't fear, it is not tacky at all. Really lovely outfit. And of course I vote for you.
Thank you so much for voting Greetje! And for your lovely comments x
This is gorgeous! You look so slim. That hair donut thing looks interesting…
Becky 🙂
Becky thank you! What a lovely compliment :))
I have yet to get my hair to look good in a bun like that. Super cute!
