When I first plucked this harlequin pattern blouse from the rack and the label said ‘Angel Ninamade in France’ I said to self ‘nice find’. With this sheer blouse youcould wear a sexy bra underneath or not?? No judging here honey .Because I’m such a tag hag you know the reason I got this blouse notonly because I thought the pattern was beautiful but because it said‘made in France.’ Next time you are thrifting and run across labelsthat say ‘made in Italy’ or ‘made in France’ pull it out and look at thequality. The French and Italians just have a built in radar forexcellent taste. So soon after I found this gorgeous sheer blouse Ifound this 2 piece black pantsuit by Nanette Lepore and knew instantlythat I would want to combine both items and blog about it. I’m going togive you the Readers Digest version of Nanette Lepore‘sfast and furious life.

I told you it was going to befast and furious didn’t I ? This 2 piece pantsuit is modern and hasthat splash of contemporary with a twist of sassy.
