The Perfect Blouse

We’ve all had those days where we are trying to figure out what to wear and all we can think is that we look ridiculous in everything.  Well, the other day I was having that kind of day.  I looked in the mirror and, quite frankly, I felt like a cow (or my chubby doggy, actually).  Nothing looked right.  Nothing felt right.  Everything was awkward.  It put me in a mood that no amount of lip gloss or accessories could right.  Then I remembered the blouse that had changed my mood once before and thought that maybe, just maybe, it could do it again.  And it did.

I’m not sure what exactly it is about this blouse that makes me instantly feel better.  It’s loose and lightweight.  I also really like the sleeves.  They aren’t so billowy that my arms look enormous and they aren’t so tight that they cut off the circulation.  The sleeves are just the right length.  Maybe it’s that they don’t draw attention to my arms, which is just golden for me (arms are a problem area for me).

I’m not a particularly huge fan of red (unless it’s on my lips or my Hunter boots), but I really really like this in red.

I wore this top for date night a week or so ago so I knew that it made me feel good, but I didn’t know it could make me feel good when I was feeling this bad.  This blouse is now my go-to when I’m not feeling 100% and I’m strongly considering buying it in multiple colors (I can’t wear a red blouse every day).  I’m also considering trying this other, potentially perfect blouse, which is essentially the same and has other color options.

Do you have a piece of clothing that lifts your mood the moment you put it on?  What is it that you like about it?  Tell me about it in the comments section below.

 Hope you had a fantastic weekend!  Here’s to a great start to the rest of your week.

Much love,

Mae
