Blouse x cardigan x skirt. This combination can never really go wrong. Although the outfit lacks color, it's all about the piping designs on the cardigan and skirt that makes them stand out.
White blouse x black skinny pants. I'm partial to tucking in everything, just so I can use my belts.
Blouse x culottes. Again, tucked in and belted.
Blouse x striped knit x white pants. When wearing the blouse under something, let the collar pop out and use the bow tie!
Blouse x skirt. Again, tucked in, belted and add accessories from head to toe. This was the 4th day I wore this blouse to work so I had to lose the bow tie or my students would think I ran out of clothes.
Blouse x no sleeve dress. This combo is perfect to wear to work with your favorite no sleeve dress. Best if the dress isn't a very contrasting color. Again, make sure collar and bow tie shows. (If the dress is too short, then wear white or black pants under! Make sure they're fitting and not baggy.)
I wore this white blouse for 6 days straight, last week and succeeded in getting my money’s worth and probably succeeded in grossing out some people at school. I’m sorry.
Anyway. Here are the take-away points for wearing this oh-so-functional white blouse.
- Peter Pan collar – ups the cute factor, and can be an accessory when worn under something
- Removable string bow tie – technically gives you two blouses for the price of one and ups the cute factor again
- Tuck it in and belt it – makes us look more ladylike and stylish
And some picks around the web. There are no bow ties, but just buy string of similar fabric as your blouse from the store. (And no, I don’t get paid for this although it’d be nice!)
