Bamford Blouse

While on the subject of last night, I wore a blouse I've had for some time now by Bamford.  I acquired it through a trail of people who take what they like and pass the rest along.  There is a wealthy woman somewhere who buys tons and tons of clothes and doesn't wear them.  She gives them to her sister.  Her sister gives them to her co-worker, my aunt.  My aunt gives them to my mom ( she has about 12 pairs of Armani and Marni pants now).  My mom gives them to me.  So I got this Bamford blouse purchased at Bergdorf Goodman for $695.00 so the tag says and according to the website, they don't sell Bamford anymore either.  No question the most expensive article of clothing I own.  The blouse is beautiful.  It's 100% silk made in Italy.  It has pin tucks running down the front, thread covered buttons and a fabulous neck tie lined with silk ball knots.  I appreciate its craftsmanship so much I've been afraid to wear it and do something to it.  Oheka Castle felt like the appropriate place to wear the blouse.  During the evening, I noticed thread pulls on the front of my silk shirt.  Devastating.  The pitfalls of a garment so beautifully made and so pricey.
