Vertical Striped Blouse

April 22, 2016

I got asked to describe my personal style this week and surprisingly really struggled to come up with a complete answer. While I like to think that I’m trendy and edgy, I think I typically wear classic pieces with some bright colors and lots of patterns.  I love clean lines and today’s post is for sure a classic look.

As soon as I saw this top on SheIn’s website, I knew I wanted it. I mean blue and white stripes in a button down? My favorite color combo with my favorite pattern, how could I resist?  The blue is a lot bolder than it appears in the pictures on the website; I pictured an oxford blue, but this blouse is closer to a royal blue {which I still love!} It’s super oversized so I decided to tuck it into a skirt so that I could add a little bit of shape to my figure.

I love this white flowy skirt for spring and summer; it has such a feminine silhouette but adds a little edge with the mesh detail at the bottom while still maintaining a classy and work appropriate vibe.

Since this shirt has a menswear inspired look, I chose to gravitate towards girly accessories.  I layered my five strand light pink necklace over my silver, short druzy necklace and then choose a patterned watch that I picked up last spring from Francesca’s with a tassel stretch bracelet that my sweet friend Heather sent to me.  I picked out this ring from Lucie’s Locket a couple months ago and I love the open detail that “closes” with a rhinestone on one side and a pearl on the other.

Also, how adorable would this outfit be for a gender reveal party?! Now, I just need to find someone that’s expecting haha.

I bought this bag last year from my local Clothes Mentor and it’s still one of my favorites.  I actually did not own a classic black tote prior to this so it has definitely filled a hole in my closet.  I love the size, compartments and quilted detail, along with the gold hardware.  I’ve found myself carrying it a little less lately

When I started putting my makeup on, I decided I really wanted to wear a bright, spring lipstick and ended up settling on this color. I’ve been wearing a lot of “classic” lip colors lately so going for something a little more fun was an easy way to change up my makeup routine.
