Fashion

Full Bloom

As I’ve mentioned before, I wasn’t sure about the floral trend at first, but after putting together the collage for this post, I kept going back to the Zara blouse.  So, as soon as I had earned enough eBay money, I pulled the trigger.  The colors of the print combined with the sheerness of the blouse feel so fresh, feminine and perfect for spring.  I only wish we’d had sunshine instead of gray skies & a steady drizzle when taking these pictures!

What I’m wearing:

Zara blouse (here), Gap trousers (similar on sale here), ELLE pumps, ASOS clutch (here), J. Crew & vintage bracelets, Style & Co. watch

    Love the blouse! I am full force into floral. BTW, your hair looks great in these pics. Did you use a curling iron or hot rollers? Thanks!

    I am full steam on the floral bandwagon. Love it! BTW, your hair looks great in these pics. Did you use a curling iron or hot rollers? Thanks.

  53. PennyPincherFashion says

    March 27, 2012 at 9:30 pm

    Thanks Amanda – lots of people commented about my hair on this post! I think it's probably due to the fact that I had JUST blown it out & curled it (with a curling iron) right before the shoot. Plus, it was drizzling and my hair is naturally curly, so that gave it even more body than usual! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Can I just tell you how much you inspire me to look better everyday? I love the sets you put together and walk your readers through how you've come to pair certain pieces together.

    Can you put together a post about 10-20 items all women should own according to penny pincher fashion? xo

  57. PennyPincherFashion says

    March 28, 2012 at 2:36 am

    Hi Nagehan – thank you so much for saying that…I really want my site to be helpful for other women, so I'm glad to hear that it has been for you! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I have done posts with 10 key pieces for each season that you can go back & look through – just type "wardrobe essentials" in the search box & they should all pop up. Let me know if you have more questions! ๐Ÿ™‚
