the look

a sheer pistachio-mint chiffon blouse with a maker's label sewn in that reads as either "jami" or "gami" in script. graduated rows of self-fabric ruffle trim run in a chevron down the front, each row fastened at center front with a faceted rhinestone button, six in all, catching the light against the sheer fabric. cap sleeves and a gently curved hem keep the silhouette light.
