Seasonless Print Blouse

So, this pretty print blouse was a purchase I made to go with a new skirt that I bought. Not only did they not look quite right together (that happens, right?) but the skirt actually didn’t fit too well either and went back to the store. So … I thought about sending the blouse back, but … why? It’s so pretty and versatile! It’s pretty now for spring, and it will be nice for inside with A/C in the summer, and then just right for fall too. I liked it so much that I was looking forward to sharing the link with you and unfortunately it’s already sold out. That’s happening a lot this time of year with all the sales going on!

I’ve been calling this my hummingbird blouse. Seriously, I think I need to study my birds or get my eyes checked, because now that I look at the print again in the photo, I really don’t think they look anything like hummingbirds!? Okay, bird watchers, what kind of bird is on this print?! Leave me a comment!

Styling this blouse made me think about how much I appreciate more seasonless clothing. Now, I do realize that might mean something different to a California girl than in other places! But isn’t it so nice to have pieces that work for several seasons at least, if not all of them?

I’ve been seeing a lot of floral blouses with higher necklines and ruffles at the shoulder and elbow. It’s a pretty look, I think. This particular blouse was a Yoox find. Do you ever shop Yoox? It’s not a go-to for me like Nordstrom, Macys, and Chico’s, but it is a fun place to browse to find some different pieces!

About the blog: Fashion Should Be Fun is me talking to you, other middle aged women like me who are over 40, but not over fashion.  We still want to look beautiful and stylish.  We still want to have fun with trends.  And we don’t need anyone giving us rules, because we’re all different. We all have own shapes and bodies, parts we’d like to cover and parts we still don’t mind showing off a bit.  This is a place for me to share my love of fashion with you, style ideas, tips, trends, and inspiration. I know how liking the way we look can translate into confidence and energy. I know we have so much life left to live and so much adventure ahead of us. Let’s show the world you’re never too old to have fun and be fierce!
