Mexican wonders..
Anyone else having problems with WordPress or is it just me? This wasn’t the post intended for today..but amongst other things I’ve lost the ability to upload pictures..to edit..to go into ‘Help’ which sort of sums up frustration..and Live Support is currently closed. Ho hum. Anyways – I originally collected these pictures as they never fail to remind me of the summer sun; It doesn’t matter what the fashion world is dictating, each year I always love the bohemian effortlessness of a peasant style shirt. Most of these are vintage from Mexico, a country which still embraces the beauty of embroidery but whether you’re a lover of colour or prefer the simplicity of a single colour, there’s something for everyone. Thinking of good times ahead..

Maison Bentley Style 
ohhh! the blue one with jeans…sigh
Me, too! I love the blue. XO
Effortless style = happy days
Oh! Are we doing Mexican-style stuff this year? That sounds just novel enough to be interesting. I wonder if Singapore will go along with that one?
nice pics – I wasn’t having problems yesterday like you but my reader was showing the same post about 20 times.
I keep crashing!!…don’t even drive! Nice pics, roll on Summer xx
I love Mexican blouse! They always remind me a perfect summer day with lots of laughter. A perfect vitamin injection for treating gloomy Thursday in London. xxx

The Mexican style sweeps you off into warm sunny days, roll on summer (: x
These blouses are gorgeous–I especially like the blue one and the black one. Yummy. Now I’m thirsty for a margarita . . .
Nope! no problems here! But what a happy accident indeed! All I need now is a frozen margarita and I dream of summer! xxx
Awesome!! I have a top like this but haven’t known how to style it! Good ideas here :)!
The details of these embroideries are incredible ! Before, to me, Mexico = Frida Kahlo, now, thanks to this fab “emergency” post, Mexico = delicately vibrant embroideries ! xxxxx
Not having issues (that I know of!! :}), but LOVING the Mexican peasant shirts!!
Beautiful! I used to have a top very similar to the one the girl with the braid is wearing. Could it still be in the attic? X
I love your picks. wonderful embroidery xxx
LOVE the cornflower blue one!!!! No problems …….but then I have been too busy sanding floors to upload anything, so am sitting here glass of chilled wine in hand reading everyone’s fruitful blogs. X
Beautiful blouses, love the colors!
Technical difficulties you say!!! I had to rewrite an entire post because WP spazzed out, mobile version… I love these gorgeous timeless pieces. I bought two very similar pieces at a market in Bangkok last year, a top and a dress. Beautiful hand made. I opted for single colour pieces, but you are right there is nothing that says summer like these pieces. Xx
Hey there! We saw this same trend on the runway for spring/summer 2014. The colors are beautiful, we also wrote an article on it as well. Take a look 🙂 http://blog.decoratorsbest.com/2013/09/19/fashion-week-round-up-top-looks-from-the-runway/
Thank you, Kate for this post. I feel honored on behalf of all Mexican women! Tell everyone the best margaritas are at my house! xoxo

To wear on your next summer holiday perhaps? I do love these. The second picture (white with coloured embroidery) took me back to the 70s when I had one just like it as a five-year-old. I agree, you can’t go wrong with these – whatever the fashion of the day.
