Every home cook has a few go-to recipes. You know, those recipes that come out perfectly every time,  that never fail, and that  you turn to in a pinch when you make plans with dinner guests at the last minute.

Well, for those days when you just don’t have the time or energy to pull together a smashing outfit from your separates, a fashionista should have a few go-to fashion recipes as well. And one tried and true fashion recipe is  “a white blouse and ______.”

Fill in the blank however you like—very little thought is required. A white blouse and jeans. A white blouse and pencil skirt. A white blouse and khakis.

And just like you have different jeans for different occasions, having a handful of white blouses in different styles can have a huge fashion payoff, too.

Today’s VPOD features a unique vintage white blouse that dates from around the turn of the 20th century. Check out the details! Sheer cotton is woven with corded stripes and offset with machine copies of handmade Cluny lace. Small mother-of-pearl buttons close the length of the back.

It’s a stylish old-fashioned find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Vintage Textile.
