In contrast to the vamps and witches of Halloween, this outfit has a sweetly naive sensibility. The central element is Muism’s open silk shirt with its impeccable prim collar and cuffs. In a soft, pastel pink print, it matches well with the softly draping broom skirt.

Incidentally, this background is one of the free backgrounds in the thank you gift from Gidge and me for sending us over 700 visits in a day.  You can get the 10 free backgrounds by clicking  the It’s Only Fashion sign in the MDR portfolio room.

Paired with DeLa’s Stella shoes, the entire outfit evokes gentle innocence and quiet pleasures. The bows on the Stellla shoes are outsized but not disproportionate, giving them a modern flair that is restrained by smart editing. The simple lines and plain elegance of the skirt make it a useful wardrobe staple that can be pulled out again and again.

But isn’t the outfit really about the blouse. It’s so sharp and well-tailored, each piece fitting perfectly.

Jewelry from Twinkleberry and the Violete Voltaire freebie bracelets at Juicy’s birthday completement the soft colors of the blouse.

Here again you can see the simple elegance of the shoes – with their slightly darker bow that is definitely oversized, but with restrained exuberance.
