Another peasant blouse


I bought two peasant blouses during Saturday's epic thrift haul, and this was one of them. It carries on the summer of the peasant blouse. (Fall, I see you up ahead! Don't think I don't notice you! I'm super stoked!)


One of the things I love about peasant blouses is the feminine, adorable details so many of them have. Look at those little, embroidered flowers! Look at the gorgeous lace-like sleeves!


Okay, now we have to talk about something serious. We're going to talk about hypocrisy. My hypocrisy. I should apologize for it. I should change my ways. I should stop judging others... But here's the thing: I'm actually okay with tiny pony-tails as long as they're on women. In fact, I love messy, tiny pony-tails on women. On myself specifically. So, yeah, I had a tiny pony tail this weekend.


And then my husband was like "Didn't you JUST blog about how much you hate tiny pony tails?" And I didn't really have a defense besides "I like them on chicks! Just not on dudes! Only on chicks!" I guess I'm a little bit sexist that way. And maybe a hypocrite. A hypocrite with a tiny, tiny pony tail. Hey, I'm just excited my hair is long enough to be pulled back now!


So to conclude: Peasant blouses are great. Summer is still here, but fall is a-coming. And, yes, I have a double-standard when it comes to tiny pony-tails, and I feel a little hypocritical, but I can't change how I feel, you know? I can't change how I feel. (I went to Italy when I was 18 on a school trip with my then-boyfriend and we broke up in Rome and he spent the whole trip with a stupid tiny pony tail that I HATED and that is the genesis of my tiny-pony-tail hatred. There. I feel better now that I've shared.)

Lol, thanks for sharing your cute story, tiny ponytails are fine on girls, its the guys that make it seem a little weird. The peasant top is so pretty, looks great hun!

*whispers* I have a double standard with tiny pony tails too. I mean, even Brad Pitt, who I love, looks kinda nasty with it :O
And I like that blouse a lot:)

Of all the peasant blouses you've shown so far, this is my favourite : )

I'm sorry about your break-up in Rome. I hope it didn't ruin your trip too much.

You should have snipped his stupid tiny pony tail clean off!

My other half has a pony tail (a long one though).
I like them on both men and women : )

Now I totally understand why you hate tiny-pony-tails on men, lol. OK let me share a secret, I can't stand them either. On men. You look pretty with your tiny-pony-tail. Cute blouse. I love your sunglasses. They are cool.
Have a lovely day

Great look!

About tiny ponytails on men: I think they come a close second to the comb-over, but only if the ponytail is not being used as a comb-over substitute. Peasant tops are girly treats that we all need.

Cute blouse!

Pony tails on men aren't a great look, you are so right.
Peasant blouses aplenty for the wardrobe is also very right.
