The balloon sleeves of this sheer white blouse. The perfect alternative to a white shirt, it strikes a softer note. I let myself driven not by trends, but by whatever I find thrillingly stylish. I find this of an impact-making elegance.
Ce-mi starneste interesul zilele astea? Manecile voluminoase, “balon”, ale unei bluze albe, transparente. O alternativa perfecta la camasa alba, insa de o eleganta diafana.

Beautiful capture and sheer material from the blouse. Also love (don’t know how to call it) balloons sleeved strong shoulder parts. Have a great day:)
Love it! Well, frankly, we do seem to have similar “likes&loves”, so I am not surprised any more. I’ve been looking for my perfect blouse for ages, am so picky… xxx
it’s often a story of proportions and they are here perfects !

I have one, but I haven’t wore it more than twice. I liked it at first, but then I don’t know…I realized it was kind of hard to pull it off. It makes me think that I look like some sort of musketeer or something…especially with a vest over.:));)

Yes, it can be tricky. It think it would be best born with a pencil skirt or a skirt like the one in the photo, which clearly marks your waist, or with skinny jeans, they would temper the volume of the sleeves. The vest could not be the best choice.:)
Hi Ada! Thank you for the quote from Coco Chanel by the way :-). I love balloon sleeves…there’s something so romantic and carefree about them!! xoxoxoo
the black and white makes this such a brilliant photo!

Those balloon sleeves are amazing!! :)SarahD
ce frumoasa e bluza si ce comoda trebuie sa fie.
The sleeves are gorgeous. I love how they give the blouse a much more feminine and romantic touch.
I love sleeves like these. I recently bought a floral blouse that has similar ones, maybe not quite as big but big anyway. It was love at first sight.
