(Patterned Fabric from Anthropologie’s Daytrip Buttondown Blouse<\/a>.)<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve been on a quest for some flattering, warm-weather clothes lately, and I stumbled across these lovely Daytrip Buttondown Blouses at Anthropologie.\u00a0 They’re made in India, are 100% cotton, and come in a wide assortment of colors, all with different animal patterns on them.\u00a0 The fabric is quite sheer, so I purchased two of the darker tops, but I’ve worn them without a camisole underneath, and felt cool and comfortable without revealing too much.\u00a0 I’m not a fan of tank tops or layering in warmer weather, especially once the temperature reaches triple digits, and these blouses are light and airy for spring and summer.<\/p>\n

So far, I’ve paired them with skinny ankle jeans, but I’ll probably also try them with lighter capris or skirts as the weather warms up.\u00a0 I love their casual elegance and the intricate patterns of the fabric, which remind me of woodblock prints.\u00a0 The blouses are easy to care for, too, and I just wash them on a gentle cycle, hang them to dry, and they’re ready to go.\u00a0 I’m not worrying about wrinkles or ironing, because the fabric lends itself to a sort of rumpled look, I think.\u00a0 With more structured pants, simple flats, and a few bracelets, it’s an easy, relaxed look that is perfect for the coming seasons.<\/p>\n
