An email from Bloomingdale's said that one of the Spring Trends is the Poet Blouse.

What do you think of this trend?

Do you like it?

Would you wear a relaxed-fit, Victorian-inspired blouse?

Yep.  That's 1.  lace  2. wide collar.  They got two trends in one!

I though poet blouses had big, full blouson sleeves.

Me too! I think the blouse in the picture is cute, but that's not what I picture as a poet blouse. 

 

I'll give this trend a thumbs up, but I won't be buying any. For whatever reason, I bought a bunch of blouses during quarantine last spring, that I never had the opportunity to wear, so I'm pretty well covered with blouses this spring! LOL!

I like seeing the more romatic styles and feminine details come into style.

Poet blouses really do have very full sleeves.  What this model is wearing looks too small on her, as well.  

 

This is a trendy style that comes and goes...never one that is always in style even though it's not trendy anymore. 

 

An example of a design that's always in style that comes and goes as a trend...the button up shirt...like the one men wear under suit jackets, blazers, and sweaters.  

 

No, I wouldn't wear poet blouses.  They're not me...the image I want to project.

Yes, big sleeves, not for me.

No - just not my look.  I'm old enough to know what NOT to try wearing.

No, I would not wear that blouse. However, I do like a white cotton eyelet blouse in the summer. Just more tailored with no puffs or lace trim.
