Hey guys! Happy Saturday. Or Sunday. Or Wednesday — frankly time has no meaning to me at the moment. I’ve had a low sort of week, honestly, so I’ve been working hard on the just surviving part of lockdown. And you know the thing I miss the most about being inside? Getting all glammed up with somewhere to go. (I lie, I never have anywhere to go…) But I decided that if I can’t make drama happen whilst I’ve got the time, I never will! So today I’m styling a sheer blouse, which seems to be on-trend at the moment. But you know, make it drama.

I bought this SHEIN blouse a while back in one of my sprees (back when I had disposable income hahahahahahelp). Originally I wanted something plain, sheer and black to add a little 40’s glamour to my wardrobe, but this polkadot friend came along instead. At the time the price was something ridiculous like £3, so even though it looked a bit too shiny for my tastes, you can’t snap at a price like that!

This is one of those items that I love in theory, but looking back on these images, it just might not be very ‘me’. Or maybe it’s just that my hair isn’t big enough and I chose the wrong skirt. Who knows.

I wanted to go with a generic ‘me’ style, colour blocking black and red. It’s a winning combo for me, as my last post will attest! And since I recently fixed this old skirt (the zip has been broken for years, my alteration pile is a mess), I thought it would be the perfect combination. Looking back, a pencil skirt would be a much better fit for this outfit, since the blouse is all about drama as it is! Maybe I’ll try that out next time I get chance.

The one thing I do love about this blouse is the fact it hits a perfect bracelet length on the sleeves. Perfect for showing off some Bow and Crossbones bangles! The pussy-bow necktie is also wonderful, although I will say that I didn’t expect it to be so frustrating to have fabric that close to my face!
