I absolutely love this shirt and others like it. Sorry I don’t have a male model. The distinguishing feature is the embroidery on the left side. These little designs are so much fun. Some are really creative!

Men sometimes wear long sleeves in the summer, so I consider this a year-round garment. Especially when it’s in a lighter color. It can be dressed up with a sport coat.

Some shirts of this type have multi-colored designs. Usually the fabric has a bit of sheen and the embroidery is glossy. You can tell by a quick look that it is a quality original item and not a modern imitation.

I LOVE to find them! Would have adored being a curator of wardrobe for Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer or Warner Bros. back in the day.

It’s even more fun to go to the closet and decide which movie to play in today . . . . . . . . .

Love the Florida colors of this breezy blouse (and guess where I am now!). I found this here several years ago. It had been sold originally at some relatively small shop with its own label.

The blouse is sheer, with fabric-covered buttons. You can almost guess where it’s from just by looking at it. It’s just right, with a pair of white slacks, for a walk along the boardwalk or some leisurely shopping.

I go for walks along the boulevards, looking at the bungalows and the villas, wondering whose closet this came from. You just never know . . . . . . . . .
