I was so tickled to find this vintage Louis Vuitton blouse at a re-sale shop in the East Village during my NYC vacation. It is really not a spectacular, show-stopping blouse, but I love the subtle paisley print and sophisticated colors. I think I can wear it a lot of different ways.
I reminds me of another designer, Yves Saint Laurent, in his rich hippie/boho period, so I paired it with western style pale boots and a full skirt. I think I've got a 70's vibe going, but I could be a decade off! The Diesel belt was also a NYC thrift find, for a very frugal $9.

The Louis Vuitton blouse is beautiful, the colors go perfectly with your skin and the boots and blouse compliment each other nicely. Your hair is not unruly!
ReplyDeleteI am loving those boots with the blue skirt.
ReplyDeleteI am stopping by after reading your comment from HK style journey and recognize Pam from over 50 feeling 40! What a fantastic blog you have, and that blouse is beautiful! Vintage LV is not easy to come by, and it is quite resembles the fall Chloe collection! I hope you'll stop by to say hi!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this look Patti (it really suits you): you are spot on with the YSL comparison! It immediately reminded me of a 1971 (British) Vogue YSL shoot by Arthur Elgort... I love that 1970s vibe.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comments on my blog, I've finally uploaded something for visible Monday on yours, I hope you like it!

ReplyDeleteYou look lovely. Such beautiful colors for you. You are the quintessential sophisticated bohemian!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your compliment on Saturday's outfit. I was having a terrible time finding something I was happy with that evening. I ended up being waaay over dressed for the student hangout burrito place we went to for dinner!But once we got to our concert I was fine. That necklace can always elevate my mood.
That blouse is fantastic. I love that you paired it with the skirt and the nude boots. Great look!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me today!!

ReplyDeleteThat blouse is beautiful with that skirt. Good find. I can see you wearing that blouse so many different ways. You look really pretty.

ReplyDeleteA very lovely classic print to the blouse. I also love the full blue skirt. It definitely has a floaty bohemian vibe.
ReplyDeleteHi Patti! I wrote a post about looking stylish after 50 and featured your lovely blog in my post. You do have a great sense of style :) Here's the link to my post:
