New Patterns

I’m wild about this two piece ensemble from Century 21. I stopped in my bargain shopper tracks when I spotted this, while shopping for the Passover trip that never happened this year. It looks so high fashion. I love a good bustier, and this whole look felt clever. The over sized button down can serve as a caftan or loose dress without the belt, but the belt cinches for a flattering effect. There is a reason you’ve seen this belt a million times on me. A great belt is such a smart investment. I’ve had this one for 14 years. The bustier top can be worn in other ways as well; under a pantsuit, as a top with high waisted black pants or flared jeans, or with a long, full skirt. I love when the pieces of an outfit can go off and do their own thing, the mark of any healthy relationship.
