1980s Yves Saint Laurent Red Silk Ruffle Blouse

We don't understand why some people are under the belief that the color red should be reserved for the holidays. Why save that gorgeous red cashmere sweater for Christmas? Red is the only 'neutral' color that has a kind of yang/yin personality - energizing and stimulating and also deep and mysterious. If you've been shy about bringing some red into your life, this blouse is the piece to get you into gear. In sumptuous ruby red crepe back silk satin, the straight cut is accented with a ruffled collar and cuff. Has a keyhole opening at the back of the neck with a button and loop at the collar and a padded shoulder. A great blouse to wear under a Chanel or Adolfo open cardigan style jacket - the ruffles peeking out from the jacket sleeve and over the collar. From Yves Saint Laurent's Rive Gauche line, the bust measures $165
