This look incorporates the essentials color, femininity, and sophistication.
There is no need for us women in the corporate world to dress like a man to look professional. Sure I love a crisp dress shirt and blazer but I feel just as confident and more ladylike in a blouse and some color.
The ruffles on this blouse were irresistible. They add interest and movement in a soft delicate way. Ruffles can be tricky, you often see them on little girl's garments and when it comes to women's wear sometimes designers go overboard. Ruffles should add a feminine touch and detail, not distract. Keep them small and understated around the neckline, cuffs or hems.
I paired this blouse with jeans and a blazer a couple weekends ago for a casual look.
Tip: Since this blouse is ivory not white layer an ivory or nude camisole underneath. It's more subtle.
I often pair ivory with taupe as it's super soft and low contrast, a perfect canvas for a pop of color.
Emerald is my go-to and a red head's best friend. It's rich and makes our locks shine. If I had to pick a color to wear that wasn't white/ivory it would always be emerald green. It's not the most common color to find on the racks so when I do and it's a nice piece, I bring it home to my closet :)
Note: I just painted my formal dining room emerald green this past weekend ... sharing soon!
Add a feminine touch with ruffles and color.
Dress Beautifully in Ruffles
