It's been great this summer to see all these cool young ladies embracing the understated sophistication of a well-designed blouse. Whether new or vintage, cotton or silk, solid or patterned, the blouse has been severely under appreciated the last few years.

post a commentPerfection! I always say that the white blouse is a basic staple of a well dressed woman's wardrobe.
great! effortless chic...
yes! love it! the simplier the better!!!
xoxo from very hot rome

i love this shot. her top is perfect and the bike is wonderful! i colour and back basket are awesome. lovely shot. xx
That's a great, classic outfit. I love it with her hair.
Black & white, simply the best!
Love it!
how's about those shades?! Perfecto!
you know what else is underappreciated? flesh-toned bras under said blouses. otherwise she looks great, though!
Well, talk about perfection...and imperfection. I am refer to the bycicle - it is so cool, the not finished yellow paint.
Simple, beautiful, refreshing and understated. Beauty for the beholder and my thanks for the shot
Can't go wrong with a classic white shirt...or red hair!
Kat x Click&Make-Up!
The perfection of her hair is amazing, too. I like how simple her ensemble is. Timeless.
worn with slim pants, flat shoes and a yellow bike as an accessory - perfect!
Some people simply own it!
blitzgreek-fashionblog.blogspot.com
Very chic and classy. I love the simplicity of all that. It's not so easy to be simple and make it work.
+ the yellow and blue bike is great.
http://lestroismots.blogspot.com/
Forget the clothes. I just want that bike.
(She looks a lot like Lissy Truillie)
Bicycle obsessed - you? No way! Great picture, beautiful blouse, perfect outfit!
(How about a bicycle fashion competition? Oh, I'd love that!)
Perfection! I love the bike.
i suppose bike helmets are nerdy and unseemly, but don't people where them? my friend was hit head-on while on his bike and is very very lucky to be alive. she looks adorable. but i'm just saying, how far does vanity go?
Love her top!! Gorgeous XD
love it...the style the picture the bike:)so gorgeous!!
Simply perfection!!
Great bike :-D
I love white blouses - especially ones that are a little bit loose. This one is perfectly worn by her.
chic,chic, and chic! :]
I particular liked the hair and the shades... brought a easy-going/modern style to the whole outfit. Great blouse. Cool B&W look. Not so crazy about the "old postal service bike".
Absolutely gorgeous. She's dressed so simply but you still can't take your eyes off of her!
lovely!!! it really is perfect!
in my opinion the more difficult item to wear is an high waist pant!
i love the lenght of her pants with her flats! and short hair!
a very classy outfit!
Nice - very well done.
I love the contrast between the scruffy girlishness of the yellow bicycle, and her sophisticated poise and style.
Classy! And her hair....I love it. :)
A yellow bicycle helps to get a clean look not too understated ;)
Tres chic, non? I disagree with the other commenter about the color of the bra. While sometimes it is too distracting in this instance it plays well with the rest of the look.
Tres chic the ensemble, but I want the yellow bicycle!!!

I agree with RM, I think the dark bra underneath totally takes away from the simplicity and elegance...
i love the italian woman's keen sense of polish, even when they're out for a casual bike ride. gorgeous photo!
I love the little transparence of the blouse...
http://www.mesvoyagesaparis.blogspot.com/
also a great haircut.
that's an awesome bike. and i love her haircut.
styleaccordingtome.blogspot.com
And i don't understand why people don't appreciate it. I've been looking for some time now for the perfect one. It's so chic and clean!
Love her look.

I like how her short hair and dark bra give this an edgier feel. Love it!
Simple and chic!!

This hair style seems to be getting around in Italy, we saw it on the woman in the white suit earlier. I love the pants with the high waist with the white blouse. I don't mind the black bra with it, gives it an edge it wouldn't have otherwise. Black ballet flats look great with everything. She reminds me of Claire Danes the great American actress.
I'm in total agreement. The beauty of a neat, well-made blouse/shirt is not to be underestimated. My grandmothers, in the 1950s-60s knew this, even as they did chores wearing a crisp blouse and "pedal-pushers."
Love her eye.
I LIKE HER STYLE, BRAVA!
GOOD CONTRAST THE COLOR OF THE BICYCLE.
lovely blouse!
Such a classic look..and I love the bike too:)
I love her hair. I used to have that cut and color that when I was 18-20 years old.
It's all bout the bike!
That is a perfect outfit. A modern-day Audrey Hepburn.
Her hair, blouse with black bra - racy, yet demure - love the slacks and shoes.
All perfectly summer appropriate and bicycle appropriate. Great picture. Great outfit. Great blog!
'make it your own' twist on classic staples- the bra and shades give her a youthful twist. that yellow bike IS the perfect accessory.
Definitely agree, and I have to say I've really enjoyed bringing them back into my closet!
http://tovogueorbust.blogspot.com/
Bellissima! A delicate white blouse, feminine....irresistable! Cools one down just looking. Audrey Hepburn lives!
very chic!
http://herribbonsandherbows.blogspot.com/
The dressing is so perfect.
Learn Italian
What I love are the sexy, high cut jeans!
I just love understated sophistication!
http://shoejunkieblog.com/
She looks so effortlessly cool, with a simple understated sense of fashion.
http://lisapetrarca.blogspot.com
Red hair, orange wall, and yellow bike. Bella.
I like the "custom" bike.. but i don't like the white shirt..
http://desertodinotte.blogspot.com/
SO AUDREY!!!!!!!!!!
HTTP://AUDREYISMYFAVOURITE.BLOGSPOT.COM
Great style and bike shot.

What a pity : where's the wondefull smile on this pretty lady?
lovely...
http://donotshoeme.blogspot.com/
Amen, Scott!
Your introduction says it all. She is so cute, including the hair cut.
ok,you have obsessed for bicycle ! haha
Love this except for the black bra, I don't know if it's just my oldfashionedness but to me it screams laundry day or overslept and dressed in no time. Love everything else, is very funnyface, one of those outfits you know you look good.
I want to have this bike!!!

I don't think blouses are under appreciated, but good ones are tough to find. Finding the right white blouse is as hard as finding the perfect pair of jeans! I'm constantly on the search for simple white shirts that fit properly...
Men have it easy in the white shirt department.
I love the high waist pants, that's where the waist is right? I dislike those pants that seem to stay in the hips by a miracle, defiyng gravity. She looks adorable!
Beautiful top! Love the necklace charm as well <3

You just can't get away from the bikes, but I'm ok with that!
Great look, I agree about the blouse. It's incredibly sophisticated.
younggentsguide.blogspot.com
there are so many great bold and simple colors in this shot
To be understated, this is a PERFECT white blouse. In every lady's closet there needs to be a white blouse that fits them individually and wonderfully. Please let all of the ladies dress with just class as this lady.
hear, hear!
love the shades.. and the contrast of the yellow against her red hair + the terracotta.
Classic and graceful, without effort x
It's ecru, for starters...
great blouse, bad dark bra.
nice
It's a very classic look. Perfect!
A bright yellow bicycle - The perfect accessory! All of her is completely lovely.
that bicycle. :)
works for me!
It's kind of funny that those pants are considered "high waisted", why because we are so used to buying pants that have a waistband right above the crotch.
There is a beautiful polish song titld "Yellow bicycle" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM0fa8fIsow This phoyo reminded me about her... Thank You:-)
I love how simple & effortless it looks...like it
I want those pants!
love the outfit, set off by the nice haircut and color. i hate that bicyclists have to deface their cycles to make them less appealing to thieves. but, yeah to fashionable fitness/ biking as transportation.
*sP
No one outside the U.S. (and a few other countries) wears helmets. You simply don't need one -- cycling isn't more dangerous than driving or walking.
gorgeous ! love the simplicity !
artsysunday.blogspot.com
I love how classy she is! And her bike :)
I don't think these pants are high-waisted; I believe the correct term is high-hip.
I love that this blouse is sleeveless and the elegantly high mandarin collar.
www.whatinthenameoflove.blogspot.com
wow i so agree. there is nothing like a well fitting blouse, i myself will always appreciate them... especially white ones they just look so clean but yet funky
no kidding, and now you cant get away from them! i love them.. so versatile and flawless
beautiful picture !! like one shooting in fashion magazine...wall,bicycle,clothes,coloreverything
perfect !!
The simple things in life are often the best. Very chic.
LOx
simple+ good taste = very elegant
my eyes are glued to her bike. that bike, just, oh god that bike.
Very pretty. I do like the look and the bike is pretty funky.
simply amazing. love the look! you're amazing!

I love how simple this is but still so pretty. I need to get a bike too!
Classic.
I love it.. I think I have the same bike model :-)
like it!
I love blouse ^^^
fantastic top, a must in all wardrobes:)
http://amberwhitecliffe.blogspot.com/
http://amberwhitecliffe.blogspot.com/
i enjoy that the black bra is incredibly sexy without being slutty.
there is so much to be said for mere suggestion as opposed to outright bold statements. she holds us in her power. she captivates us on her level.

Totally agree with whoever mentioned the horror of the dark bra beneath the perfect white shirt. Italian girls seem to have a knack for selecting the worst possible bra for the top they're wearing - I've seen colored bras with strapless top (helloooo?) plenty of times, not to mention the bright colored bra beneath white shirt or top. It never fails to make me cringe.
Fantastic picture! I love how relaxed yet chic her outfit is. And the yellow bike is so cute!
Love her whole appearance not only because we nearly have the same haircut! ;o)
Totally agree. I love blouses and I can never get enough of them. Thanks for bringing sophistication back.
http://lhabitue.blogspot.com
Love the combination of the classy white blouse and the nonchalance of the yellow bike.
love it so much!
You're right. Plain blouses are really elegant and alluring.
i really love the bike
Not sure if anyone else has said this but LOVE the colour of her hair against the wall....and the pop of the yellow bike. Lovely shot
the bike and the blouse caught my attention
Love the 2 tones bike!
http://valentineavoh.blogspot.com/
-the diary of a fashion stylist-
Agree about the white blouse/shirt--and adore this photo!
This could not be improved on in any way possible. Great shot.
this is, quite simply, who I want to be.
the bike, the outfit, the hair...
how on earth does she pull it off?!
Scott, you are AMAZEE!!

PLEASEE check out my super-fabulous-delicious blog!

This girl got it right from the head to her feet! I think she kind of favors Claire Danes.
Adorable look. Blouse is indeed perfect and I am dying to see it underneath a bolero jacket! The black bra underneath creates intriguing mystery. Not crazy about the black flats, the color choice is a bit too safe for my taste. Overall,great casually classy look!
loving this photo, the bike is super cool and the colours are amazing

This outfit is so chic. Very effortless yet classic. Love it!
beautiful. It's only a pity Italian women always wear white and see-through shirts with BLACK underwear!! A little bit tasteless...
simple and sophisticated~
the hair makes it perfect~!
i love the odd coordination between hair color and the wall.
just fab-everything; the bike, blouse and her hair
I like clear transparent blouses with black bra since I saw the photo "LELLA"(1947) of Edouard Boubat .
This look reminds me of my twenties when being a student in Italy I couldn't afford to buy many designer clothes.I adopted that same look inspired by Audrey Hupburn and Chanel. Timeless and chic. So many memories! That's the value of a photograph! I studied at Siena. I remember visiting my best friend at Parma and riding the bicycle all around the city! Meraviglioso!
I love this! I think blouses are so classy and flattering. hopefully more people start to wear them, they are great!Nice post and blog!
Check mine out, I am new :)

This is it, tomorrow I'm on the hunt for some Vintage blouses. I love the look, especially the black bra underneath, very sexy without going over the top.
Beautiful photo... the girl is totally elegant and the composition of the shot with the bike and ivy is really just pure heaven.
simple and perfect!
the bike is her best accessory here
check out our fashion and lifestyle blog The Mint's Tint
I love the yellow bike. x
Love everything about her and this shot except the black bra. I just don't understand what makes underwear attractive to see under - or worse yet - sticking out of clothing! I find it tasteless.
I LOVE HER BIKE!!!!
Beautiful
Great bike!
She looks a lot like Claire Danes
The perfect girl.
www.aleksays.blogspot.com
Cool as a cat. Well done.
simple white blouses work miracles !! She's pulls it off with such class and so effortlessly
http://faialofa.blogspot.com
The shirt, the high waisted pants & the bike are all very cool but look how fabulous the shot is with the hair & the wall behind and those specs are to die for!
Hot.
oh dear lord. i'm in love
she's stunning oh
Love the blouse but above all love the bicycle!! all my style!
