Bow Tied

January 18th, 2011


Lately I’ve been all about complete ensembles; with crisp blouses (as seen here and here), high-waisted trousers or some sort of textured skirt.  More specifically, I’m loving the polished feel of these tops with billowy sleeves and playful bows at the neck.  Whether in some sort of pretty pattern, a solid color or just a simple white, they’re a fun departure from normal button-downs, but still feel polished.

1. D&G Tie Neck Silk Chiffon Blouse $280.50
2. 3.1 Phillip Lim Sash-collar Silk-chiffon Blouse $375
3. Jaeger London Silk Blouse With Scarf £59
4. Modcloth Stallion Stampede Top $59.99
5. Warehouse Swallow Print Blouse $89
6. Anthropologie Precious Particulars Blouse $98
7. Oasis Pussybow Blouse $58
8. Warehouse Lace Racer Back Blouse $81
9. D&G Lilac Silk Organza Top $195

    This is my first time checking out this blog after you were featured on collegefashion.net and I must say that this whole thing seems incredibly pretentious, you seem incredibly pretentious. I don’t find you to be relateable at all to the average person and you seem to set yourself on this cloud above everyone else.

    # 1,7,9 are my favorite :)

    I could not agree more. Such blouses are one of my wardrobe staple, but I prefer vintage. They are so easy to find thrift…
