Why this Gingham Blouse Is a Must-have for Me

When I saw this Tennessee blouse with a diagonal front placket at Whistle River,‘s online store, I had to have it! The 45o off-set of the pattern in the front placket creates such a distinctive look. It stands out from the crowd of gingham shirts. I immediately fell in love with the interesting twist on this classic, evergreen pattern.

Instead of the traditional color plus white, the charming red is paired with a pale blue and white background (see photo below). From far, the eye merges the white and light blue to a cold gray. This genius design permits wearing the item also in fall and under a sweater, blazer or cardigan also in winter. I love when a piece of clothes works for more than one season.

Additional benefit: The twist makes the piece suitable for the office as well, i.e. more versatile than the traditional color plus white!

Crisp Cotton and Adjustable Cuff Mean Stylish Comfort

When I opened the package, I was positively surprised about the high quality cotton. One usually pays much more for 100% cotton that looks crisp and stylish. No women in midlife likes extra bulk around her upper arms. The sleeves are cut with us midlife women in mind. The slim-looking long sleeves still allow us to roll them up to 3/4 length. Consequently, one can comfortably wear the shirt on cool summer days. The long sleeves have an adjustable single-button cuff, i.e. one button whole and two buttons on each cuff. This means great comfort no matter whether you have thin and wide wrists.

Extra benefit: You have an additional styling option.

The Tennessee Blouse Is a Perfect Wardrobe Update for Women over 40

To look your best every wardrobe needs a makeover every season. My fall wardrobe was in need of a new blouse. This one find fulfills several of my style criteria at once:

  • Classic pattern with a twist,
  • Deep color,
  • Classic cut without pockets,
  • Works for more than one season,
  • High quality fabric,
  • Can be styled up for the office and down for a casual look, and
  • Classic point collar.

In addition, the shirt is pre-washed and machine washable.

Who Will Love this Blouse

This blouse is a perfect fit for women over 40 because of its flattering cut. The higher hem line at the hips than back and front permit wearing the shirt untucked, half-tucked, front-tucked (see photo styling inspiration with white BF jeans) or full-tucked (see photos with maxi leather skirt). This means you can hide love-handles, your hips or bum (see back view photo with white jeans) or emphasize your waist like in the outfit with the maxi skirt. Another great way to

Price-performance Ratio

At only $49.99, the high quality cotton blouse is very affordable. Given the versatility of the piece, one can wear it often enough to get the cost-per-wear under $1, which is my criterion for a great deal.
