Short Sleeved White Blouse Fever

 Hello~!    

    Over the past few weeks by God...it's been summer in the south. Every day is between 85 and 100 degrees. Which doesn't bother me as much as it bothers some - I love the sun and I love being warm. However, with the season being so warm, of course dressing in an appropriate and comfortable way is priority! But!! I don't own any short sleeved lolita blouses!!!

    In this post, I'm going to go into super detail about a specific item I am seeking out to add to my wardrobe. The item is: a short sleeved white blouse! I have worn lolita a few times this summer, and every time I make a coordinate I find myself wishing I had a short sleefed white blouse! So it's obviously something I would wear often. So I want to look into what's out there - that way I can see what I like and don't like, and what I should expect to pay for it!

This is a white short sleeved blouse. It is the Sheryl Lacy Blouse. It is on the San Francisco Baby the Stars Shine Bright website right now for $148. It is 100% cotton.

    Looking at all of these blouses, I feel like I really have a sense of what I like in blouses now, the things I like being the old school look, the cotton lace, the peter pan collar, a classic-sweet look, puff sleeves. I also have a sense of what I can expect to spend on the blouse: $100-$125, to purchase a brand-name short sleeved white blouse secondhand. 

    Looking forward to purchasing a blouse in this style sometime this summer ~! I will make a post once I have one in my hands, look forward to it! 

    Till next time...!
