One of life's little pleasures is discovering that something you bought years ago is suddenly trendy. Or double-trendy, in the case of this tie-front, mint-hued silk blouse I bought from Old Navy seven years ago. I think I originally paid $35 and it has more than earned its keep.
Since my dress takes its cues from menswear, I decided to wear the blouse underneath for a feminine touch. I've also worn the dress on its own with killer jewellery and stilettos, and here with a blousy bat-wing top underneath to create 'sleeves'.
Tell me - Have you found any suddenly on-trend oldies in your closet this year? What other little fashion-related pleasures do you enjoy?

ReplyDeletekat, this is office apparel with sass & class! how fun that you rediscovered something in your own closet. :)
ReplyDeleteincredibles ideas and this blog is full of style!
ReplyDeleteI really like this outfit, I'm always a fan of blouses under dresses and the tie of the blouse looks so adorable peeking out of the dress. :) (HUGE fan of anything with a menswear vibe, this is such a beautifully cut dress!) And your hair looks so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love rediscovering things hidden in my closet! That mint blouse is a gem :) both the colour & bow are in trend this season too!
ReplyDeleteThere are certain things in my closet I like to keep around because I know they'll come back in at some point. And certain things I've given away and regretted as soon as they're back around.:)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo sexy Kat! I love pussy bow blouses (having just worn one) and it's fun when something you bought/thrifted years ago is now trending. That mint colour is divine!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your top is from old navy1 I really love it! I used to be someone who did a spring clean every few months...now I have trouble partign with things because who knows if its going to come back in style....its becoming a problem lol.
ReplyDeleteand those bangles...its hard to believe they are from joe fresh.
I've been looking for a blouse in that mint color. Still haven't found the perfect one. Yours is gorgeous. Loving that sheath as well.
