Item of the Week: The Fun Work Blouse

Nov 7, 2017

Work attire can be boring.  So boring.  Every woman needs a few fun work blouses to make it less boring.

Perhaps, fun is the wrong word.  Interesting.  Different.  Unique.  Regardless of what you call them, you should be excited to wear them.

This lace, tie-collar blouse from H&M comes in at an affordable $35.  I also like this H&M puff-sleeve blouse with delicate gold accents.  If you like small prints, this & Other Stories blouse has a lovely one.  Or go for a big print, like this large polka dot blouse.

If you’re looking for fun blouses, Banana Republic has quite a few right now.  I’m loving this printed tie sleeve blouse and this satin button-sleeve shirt.  I adore this chic mock-neck blouse, but size up, because it’s a bit snug through the chest.

Specialty sizes: Plus-size ladies should check out this puff-sleeve blouse or this WHBM velvet tie blouse.  Petite ladies can try the BR blouse or this bell-sleeve blouse with ladder stitching.  Maternity?  This strawberry print blouse and this floral-applique blouse are both fun.

    This post came at the best time. I was about to email you and ask for some good blouse inspiration. I could not a ton at a decent price point that were fashionable and well made without doing some digging.

    Any other brands or websites that you recommend (in general). I know you love Boden but other than that?

    Thanks for the maternity piece! Please do more!

    It’s hard to tell — is that lace white H&M top lined or would you need a tank underneath?

    Totally agree that an interesting top can make all the difference in avoiding a ho-hum work outfit! I’m also loving this J.Crew ruffle blouse in red: https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens_category/shirtsandtops/sleeved/tiered-bellsleeve-top-in-drapey-crepe/H2197?color_name=black

    Just wait until it inevitably goes on sale…

    Apologies if you’ve already covered this in a previous post, but can you please recommend a good, budget-friendly camisole to wear under light/sheer blouses? I bought a pretty BR blouse at your recommendation a few months ago and need a good camisole to wear underneath it. Thanks!

Too Many Tabs: April 19, 2024

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

The Find: My Best Workout Shorts

For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
