The embroidered statement collar on this blouse was just the vibrant touch needed to turn an otherwise cold, grey winter day on its head for me yesterday. I couldn’t love the statement collar more and the gold buttons down the front are just the cherry on top. I wore it very casually with these skinny jeans (check out the cool zipper on these babies!), metallic gold sneakers and my favorite glen plaid coat that you last saw in this recent post. I loved wearing the blouse dressed down yesterday, but know it will look just as great dressed up with a sleek black pencil skirt and pumps for a more formal day at the office. It’s exactly the kind of statement piece that works perfectly in and out of the office—offering up the great reminder that workwear can be every bit as exciting as off-duty style if you’re willing to think (and look) outside the box. Speaking of looking outside my typical box of favorite retailers—the top is actually from Storets. Have any of you tried them yet? This was actually my first-ever purchase and I was so pleasantly surprised. Really unique pieces at super affordable prices. I also snagged this coat and this coat/dress. Can’t WAIT to wear and share them.
Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend!! xx
