I scored this vintage DVF blouse on eBay months ago, and it arrived in the mail with a nice little bonus… HUMONGOUS 80s-style shoulder pads!  You guys know how I just love looking like a linebacker…

Yeah… not so much!

Fortunately, it wasn’t anything a seam ripper and two minutes of spare time couldn’t fix.  Once my quick alterations brought my new blouse forward a decade or two, I deemed it ready for primetime and paired it with one of my favorite earrings + necklace combos.

    I love love this coat! And the blouse is such a fab find. I’ve been eyeing a vintage Oscar de la Renta.

    I love this outfit. The eighties blouse has such a modern twist with your purple skirt. It all looks so good on you.

      Thanks! I LOVE this coat, and the lining is what sealed the deal for me when I bought it a few years ago.
