“MELON MIST DRAW STRING PEASANT SHIRT”

…………….Coming up with a NEW COTTON shirt is always a challenge…..Do you really need more than a classic button down? Heck YES! Life would be so boring if that was the extent of you shirt wardrobe………With all of the various prints and solid colors of my skirts you already own, and the ones coming, I felt the need for a new type of cotton PEASANT SHIRT, A306539………………………….You already know the fabric well…..It’s my exclusive cotton twill and spandex cloth….The sizing will be XXS-3X…..This Peasant shirt has a RAGLAN LONG SLEEVE with a button cuff [you will see it long in the sneak peek of the WHITE version]. With this look I just prefer it rolled for a more casual attitude. It has an open button front with a curved shirt tail bottom. The MAGIC is the neckline. It is an open neckline with a draw string and elastic, so there is control. You can draw the front as much or as little as you like. That will control the opening of the neckline. Instead of the draw string being made in the self cotton fabric, I have used a DTM flat TWILL TAPE which has a SILVER METAL TIP…It’s much softer and easier to tie………..The color above is call MELON MIST and it’s a very appropriate name. It isn’t a bright color nor is it a washed out color. I think it is a beautiful complexion enhancing color. “THE LOOK”…..I have paired the Melon Mist shirt with my REORDER Boho print skirt, A287620, in the new PORT coloration. I have belted the blouse in a peanut brittle color belt. For jewelry I have chosen the new BEACH GLASS NUGGET necklace and earring set in ANTIQUE ROSE, J353997…..being presented on my 4/17, QVC2, 10:00pm show……A wonderful wedge, sandal or espadrille will finish the look off nicely. Take your sunglasses and a Market Straw bag and you are set to go……………Very summery, and lots of fun………………………………………………………enjoy……………………..much Love…………………………Louis

    I absolutely love this outfit and want the peasant blouse in all the colors you make available! As a baby boomer who was a teen during the late 1960s, I remember the peasant blouse from that day. This, however, has your timeless classic look which is good for any age woman. This would look great on my daughter who’s in her mid-twenties, too. Thank you for yet another beautiful “surprise”!

    Oh this melon looks beautiful and fresh. There are so many pinks, peaches and corals that I can’t do with mu auburn hair and light complexion. It has to be just the right hue and it looks like this is it! The peasant is so feminine too.

    This whole outfit is just too pretty for words.

    To say that I was surprised when I checked your blog this morning to find yet another new item is an understatement. This cute shirt is a no-brainer for Florida. Deciding which color(s) is another matter.

    Thanks for all the sneak peeks! Looking forward to your shows.

    Me too Louis 😊 My excuse to my math major husband all over the years was that as an english major, BA Humanities, graduate school while teaching Freshman English, was always simple. “I don’t “DO” numbers!” I don’t know if he bought that at first, but he sure does now.

    HECK YES is right!
    I am one who does not look my best in a collared shirt. Not sure why, but it does not flatter. In addition, I can’t stand anything on my neck in the hot (or even warm) weather, which is why I do not own any of the iconic Safari shirts.
    Open drawstring neckline: check. Cotton: check. Raglan short sleeve: check. Peasant styling: check!

    Louis, A267620 brings up a Logo top no longer available instead of a Linea reorder print skirt.
    LOVE this beautiful melon top!
