Today I’m showing some of my day – to – day blouses in colors, prints and solids. . . . . . hues that can go year-round.  From left to right, they go from the early 1950’s to mid – 1960’s.

The dressier one, which is also sheer and lightweight, is on the left. Rhinestone buttons give it a girly touch. The way we do things now, it can be worn with a casual outfit but it would still look lovely under a suit or with a pretty skirt, as it would have been worn back in the day.

This cotton selection (the 3 on the right) has longer sleeves than my hottest weather group, but they’re so classic that they can really be worn any time and add fun to my wardrobe.  The classic print on the center one and 3/4 sleeves are style elements that are favorites of mine.

With regard to care, most don’t need ironing and those that do may need just a touch – depending on how “crisp” you like to look.  The two shirts on the right are actually cotton blends and were made to “wash & wear”. They’re perfect to put on under a jumper (dress or sweater).

Hand washing or, at least, a delicate cycle is best for these vintage beauties – not because they are fragile, but just to preserve them as long as possible. Easy to do – no problem.
