The Blouse-less Trend - Softening the rules

So, I've heard rumors that going blouse-less is not only becoming more acceptable, but is becoming fashionable. JetJ has been doing this for a while, but from what I've gathered, it's starting to catch on. Considering how important a blouse can be to completing a lolita coordinate and the whole modest asthetic, I have to wonder whether this is a trend that'll catch on and stick around for a while (I.E. candy-colored wigs), or if it'll disappear entirely when fall and winter roll around, and it gets way too cold to even think about going blouse-less. I understand some dresses look much better without a blouse under it, but I'd feel naked without one!

What's your opinion on the matter? Will blouses fade out like rockinghorse shoes and solid colored tights did? Is this a temporary thing? Will you let go of your peter pan collar and high-necks for the sake of being cutting edge? Are certain rules being relaxed as time goes on?
