Oh, I do love a white blouse. In almost any setting. With jeans, a pencil skirt or a ball gown.

Clearly, I'm not alone. While this seems to be a designer go-to favorite, I don't really see it that much around town.

Sleeves rolled up is definitely the way to go. (
Easy and Elegant, am I on your turf? Please weigh in.)
So, I have a little fete this summer which calls for a ball gown. It is a nice change, after all, from my regular uniform of denim and black.

And, while I wouldn't put myself in the same category as Charlotte, Mary, Windsor and Carolina, I think I could carry it off.
This just caught my eye at
Brooks Brothers. Yes, Brooks Brothers. Sleeves rolled up, neck open a bit more (nothing scandalous) turquoise beads, maybe? Oh, how I'm shamelessly dreaming of June.
