Bohemian Blossom Top

This blouse is one of those rarities that can pass for something a beloved aunt might have made by hand in her off-grid Queensland cottage - but with much, much better tailoring and none of the scratchy bits. It’s artfully busy, but not in a way that makes you look like you’ve nicked your nan’s curtains. The pattern is lush and intricate, very vintage-inspired, but without ever tipping over into “I only shop at op shops in Newtown and won’t shut up about it” territory. There’s a romance to the billowy sleeves and pintuck pleats, but a softness as well - the polyester fabric feels gentle on skin, has just enough weight for drape, and doesn’t cling on hot days. Those smocked cuffs? Not just decorative - they’re the difference between “boho accidental” and “boho intentional”. The adjustable neckline tie gives a bit of a Jane Austen-in-the-suburbs feeling - subtle, whimsical, with just enough skin showing to keep it interesting. This blouse manages to straddle so many moods: slightly retro but somehow timeless; easy-breezy yet pulled together; roomy without ever veering into “accidentally pregnant”. A great one for work or weekends, cool weather or warm. Whether you pair it with denim or linen or actual pyjama bottoms (hey, no judgement), it’s a pretty much guaranteed mood lift every time.
