Lacy Top and Jeans

Hello my lovelies!

I switched hemispheres for last week’s  #herstyleourway challenge.
The choices for the Pinterest steal were a short sleeved top, supposedly for the Northern hemisphere gals, and a long sleeved version for those down under the equator.
So I switched cos there was no way I was going to spend my day in something suitable for 20c+ temps when ours have been  hovering around 10-15c.
Needs must when our summer temperatures are all over the place in June. 

.

So for  my Pinterest steal I went with the lacy longer sleeved option which @my_stylejourney had chosen for the southern hemisphere’s early winter, and with the day’s “summer” temperature of 15c I was rather pleased that I did.  It felt like early winter here!

I snapped this pretty top up when I saw on the “last chance” rail back in 2007 because it reminded me of my wedding lacy bolero.  I’d thought to wear with with a dainty skirt or posh cream or black trousers.  Maybe even over a dress but without the camisole it comes with.  

But what’s amazed me over the years is how it goes so well with jeans.  It’s dainty femininity is the perfect foil for the ruggedness of the jeans .  Yin and yang seems to work so well in outfits.

Do you like doing that, pairing a rather fancy top with jeans?

Yin and yanging your outfit?

Wishing you a very happy, peaceful and safe Sunday,

A la perchoine,

Mary x.
