Lilacs: the heavenly scent of springtime. I wish spring would last all spring!
The weather keeps changing: one day it’s warm as summer and the next day it feels like autumn.
White lilacs inspired me to wear my white lace blouse that I bought online from RoseWholesale for $10, I love this romantic vintage look. White lace isn’t just for brides in love. I will wear it with jeans for a dressed down look.
I removed the thin shoulder pads and it fits small.
The lace is a lovely rose design and reminds me of a blouse I had in the 60s. It has a peplum look with little pearl buttons.
No matter where I go, I’m surrounded by the glorious sight and fragrance of lilacs!
I picked some fresh lilacs to take home.
I love the delicate, lacy look of the violet phlox in the garden.
fashion with compassion 
Lovely lavender flowers, and lovely lacy lady.
