Rhea | Trendy Striped Blouse

"I had it on for three hours in the sun, in and out of the car and the air conditioning, and I forgot about the sleeves entirely. My sister said I looked ten years younger. I told her it was a long sleeve on one of the warmest days of the year."

The Rhea is the blouse our customers buy when they have quietly given up on long sleeves in summer. Too warm, too thin, or too obviously there to cover something. This is the one that changed their minds.

A softly striped long-sleeve blouse with a relaxed crew neckline and an easy cut that flatters without billowing. The stripes are the classic kind, the sort you would have called timeless in a J.Crew catalog twenty years ago. Light enough to forget you have sleeves on. Easy worn loose, easy tucked into pants with a small necklace.

Why women our age keep coming back for it

• Long sleeves that are not hot. The whole point. Designed to feel light and comfortable, so you are not peeling it off in a parking lot by eleven in the morning.
• Easy arm coverage, without looking like coverage. It reads as a nice blouse you put on without thinking, not as something you wore to hide.
• A relaxed cut that flatters. Loose enough to skim, structured enough that it does not billow. Lovely untucked, polished tucked in.
• Three quiet colors. Soft blue, khaki, and a gentle gray. Most of our customers buy two.

Why the price is what it is

$52.95 for a blouse you will actually keep reaching for, when it normally sells for $139.95, is frankly on the suspicious side. Most of our customers ask. So here is the honest comparison, written on the back of a notepad in our office.

Harbor & Willow Boutique was founded in 2002, and after 24 years, we are incredibly grateful for every woman who continues to shop with us. During our Season Shift Sale, selected styles are available at special prices while stock lasts. Once a color is gone for the season, it may not return.

"I have three cardigans I bought only to cover my arms at dinner. I have not reached for any of them since this arrived." — Linda, 71
