The scarf print blouse

Has anyone heard of a scarf print shirt?  If you have, you are way ahead of me in the area of fashion.  I just learned last night what it was called.  I had seen a great picture of one a few months back, and then was thrilled to find and purchase one in the Goodwill shortly after.  It is basically an amazing, silky blouse that looks like the print should be on a scarf!  There are tons of them in thrift shops, as they were very popular in the 80's.  (Hint: you might have to take out some serious shoulder pads!)  I like them so much right now, I am considering starting a collection. 


The look on the left was my original inspiration, but as I got to searching, I found more and more looks, these blouses are really versatile.  I chose to go with a red shoe like the great lady in the photo below!


And then to show another look, I wore some dark skinnies like my other inspiration photo.  You can't see her shoes so I had to go with my gut, which always tells me to get fancy!  Living in the town I do, it is ALWAYS ok to dress up a bit, so I do!  


I also saw it pictured with shorts, but decided you all had seen enough of my white legs yesterday!  The blouse that all of the models are wearing is by the brand Zara and I have seen it priced around $70.  Mine was.....drum roll please.......$4!!!  My outfit with white pants in total cost me $20, and the dark jeans one cost me $19!  Both of those prices include the jewelry!  Those spectacular boots are shoe dazzle, they were brand new when I got them and I spent $1.99 on them.  Do I have to profess my love for them, or can you already tell how I feel?!  

As always, thank you all SO much for reading, don't forget to pin me!
