When I was little, my grandparents bought me a Mexican sundress with pink frills and yellow flowers that I worshiped. I’ve long since grown out of it, but when I spotted this embroidered blouse at the flea market, I swooped it up right away. It’s absurdly baggy, but when tucked into some wide-legged trousers, it adds a festive touch to a formal look.

the top is so pretty! this outfit remind me of the charlie’s angels )
Gorgeous (the outfit and you haha). Love the contrast between the silhouettes of the smart trousers and relaxed/ folky top.
Your blog is awesome

If it’s long enough to cover your bum, maybe you could wear it with leggings? That would offset the bagginess and would have a more casual look. You look fab as usual
love that bag! the perfect pop of color for the outfit.
Love your outfit!
gorgeous dress as top. you look so very relaxed!

You look fantastic. With the shades and hair, you do remind me of Charlie’s Angels (in the best way)!
Those baggy embroidered shirts are the best for summer weather! You made it look so chic with the trousers and heels.
that 2nd pic is PURE BEAUTY.

Very cute! Those pants look great on you–love the top too!
I think this is my favorite outfit yet! It is SO cute. I am def going to use this as style inspiration for myself.
I love the whole look! I would never think of putting that top with such businesslike pants, but it totally works!
I love this outfit! I love the cute combination!
very cute and it’s perfect w/the trousers (i’m also really like the vintage style bag).
Embroidered tops mare so great. The whole peasant look was never really my thing, but this top is so great. I like how you mixed it with a bit of an edgy look. Cute!
love the top!!
I totally love little Mexican embroidered sundresses! And those pants are adorable… I need to find a pair like that! By the way I love your blog…
Awww yeah! That’s perfect for the summer sunshine you’re standing in!
Adore those trousers.. one of my favorite outfits to date!
Cute!! I love tops like that, too. You know, depending on how long that is, it might also look nice untucked, worn with jeans, and belted with something thin and colorful. Braided leather, maybe?
I love those types of dresses too! I often think of your blog, love how you are always sunny and happy looking – ah, to be in Cali
darling outfit! i’ll have to agree with others, one of my favorite outfit of yours
favorite outfit ever – seriously! Love those pants and you can never go wrong with an embroidered top.
I love it! When I looked at the first photo quickly I thought the flowers were a necklace.
I do love those pants too, I wish I had a closer look at the shoes. I love shoes.
I love that top it’s soooo cute!
I have one of those Mexican dresses! I bought it at a flea market too! It is going to be my maternity wear salvation this summer!
I’m seeing those Mexican blouses everywhere! So pretty you are today!
It look s great on you! And those pants are perfection.
The pants are very pretty, and I really like how you dressed them down with a blouse like this.
x!
Can I just have the whole outfit, please? I love embroidery!
Beautiful embroidery! I love it.
Love that outfit!

I wish VA had as sweet of flea markets as CA seems to have. All we have are antique expos with a bunch of old civil war bullets and guns.
Lovely outfit!! amazing
Ooh I love it. Very peasanty
You look absolutely fabulous….I love those pants, they are the perfect fit on you!!
So fantastic! I love the top with the pants. too cute.
BTW, you’re hair color is fantastic. I want!
Love that story about your grandfather. And the color of that purse is amazing!
Cute top! I love the pants =)
my goodness. you always look so perfectly pulled together. the contrast of the blousy top and fitted trousers is perfection, and the little big is adorable.

love those sunglasses! The top is great too, it totally reminds me of one my grandma brought me back from Mexico when I was a little girl.
At first glance, I thought the embroidery was a show stopping turquoise and coral necklace! Lovely!
LOVE this look!
I love this look. it looks fabulous on you. I have so many things like that from my childhood that I remember too…
super cute! but I can’t imagine putting on pants right now it’s so hot!!
and i really hope you’ll be making more necklaces for your shop! I’m so sad I was so slow in getting to it!
you look amazing! xx
I had one of those dresses too! I love the shirt…is that you wearing it? Should you be a model? Maybe you are! I thought it was Kate Hudson at first glance!

For some reason, lately I’ve been feeling the need for wide legged pants. You look absoultly stunining in those. I love how the top is simple, but has just the right amount of detail. Just perfection.
You have great style! Awesome work modeling as well.
I’ve been obsessed with finding a peasant top like this one since I saw this post several weeks back. This outfit is chic and adorable and lovely and… Thanks for sharing.
