MOODY GIRL IN STYLE: Office Chic No. 2: Blouses that Work

My favorite blouse is one that is feminine, ladylike and versatile. The right blouse can dress up a pair of jeans or create a conservative work look when paired with the right pair of trousers or pencil skirt. Women’s blouses come in so many different designs and styles, but the key to finding the right one is finding one that compliments your body type. One blouse in particular that is a basic must-have for any working wardrobe is a white button-down shirt. Nothing looks more confident than a crisp white button-down shirt underneath a structured blazer. That’s just one option, but these days you don’t have to wear the traditional collared shirt under a suit or blazer. You can mix it up to express your personality and find a blouse with a twist on a classic. Whether you find a blouse with a ruffled collar, a blouse with no collar but a new neckline or a blouse with a bow tie like the ones below, your work wardrobe additions will create a more timeless and fashion forward look for the office. What’s your favorite blouse in your closet? How do you wear it to work? Let me know.
