“Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them!” – Marc Jacobs
There are so many styles and colors of blouses available now. So, how do you find the right one…?
How I like to determine the blouse I will wear is by using the following guidelines:
-
Determine what I am going to be doing during the time I will be wearing the blouse? Am I going to be working, is it a social event or just for day to day wear?
-
What do I want to wear with the blouse? Am I thinking skirt, pants, or do I want it to match a certain pair of shoes?
-
Who will I be seeing during the time I am wearing this blouse? This is an important question because you want to steer away from something too form fitting, clingy or see through if you are working or seeing clients.
Once I have asked these questions, I set to work determining which blouse is perfect for the outfit I want to wear…
For this outfit, I chose to wear a box cut pale pink blouse that had flowing sleeves and I like the color combination with the Leopard Print shoes. When you wear culottes a business style blouse that is tucked in would work equally as well. This outfit is something that could be worn for work because it is conservative yet not boring. I always like to be a little different, so the shoes added that twist for me.
Box style blouses look best with pants that are looser fitting (like these culottes) or business suit pants. If you wanted to wear a skirt, I prefer to wear this style of blouse with a mid length pencil skirt to add a little dimension.
