Street Style: Maria Connor is a Peasant Girl

This street style edition is featuring a white bibbed peasant blouse with an old-world blue embroidery pattern that Maria Connor wore on the Friday July 31st, 2009 episode.

Once again, Maria Connor is on the cutting edge of every-day style for us Corrie watchers. While these types of blouses are really popular these days I can't say that I'm 100% sure that Maria bought this for herself.

When looking for a replica, I couldn't help but notice how similar this blouse is to traditional Greek apparel. Or really, any old-world village wear, hence the name "peasant" blouse. After noticing this similarity, I couldn't help but wonder if this blouse may have been a gift from her parents, whom are currently living in Cyprus. It could have been something that Kirk-eh brought back from his latest visit, along with Julie.

Also, since Maria wore this in her scenes with baby Liam's grandparents, I think it possibly could have been wore even as an ode to her parents. Seeing as they haven't visited once since baby Liam Jr. arrived.

Here's where you can get a blouse similar to Maria's:
