Classic Trend: Crisp White Blouses

Posted by Cathy | Wednesday January 5, 20116 comments

A classic white blouse is the ultimate investment piece - it that can be worn with everything and will never go out of style.  Any colour bottoms will do, but when in doubt, a crisp white blouse paired with a neutral pant or skirt is always good for understated elegance.

Ahh, I've always been a big fan of the classic white button up. I agree with Cathy though, in the sense that they can be a little constricting which is why I'm loving this new trend of the looser fitting silk white button ups!

I agree with you Mary, the Haute Hippie is my favourite. If you follow the link there's pictures of the back, which is even more gorgeous than the front.

Love love LOVE the Haute Hippie shirt -- just not the price :S.

I prefer the looser fitting, drapier versions. Sometimes I find cotton button-ups to be too constricting around the shoulders.

I would want a basic mannish shirt to dress up like crazy with accessories, but am also a sucker for the pretty embellishments like the last set of 3 blouses. Choices, choices ;)

I love Ashley O's style. The tights and loose blouse are a great combo, and those shoes are amazing!
