The elasticated cuffs on the long sleeves keep them from sliding down when I'm working at my desk. Oversized fit is roomy without looking sloppy, and the ecru cotton is heavier than I expected. Wore it twice this week already.

The cross-stitch roses are so neatly done, and the olive stems make the pink flowers pop without looking too sweet. The Claudine collar plus the oversized cut gives it that vintage-but-not-costumey feel I wanted for work.
