Style Diary: Bow Blouse

What I Wore to Work

The girly girl in me is loving this season’s bow trend. It’s everywhere from Gucci to Tory Burch to Diane Von Furstenburg, to Marc by Marc Jacobs to Ralph Lauren. So when I saw this white BCBG bow blouse at the retail store where I work during my double employee discount period, I just knew I had to have it.

Ok so I already have another white bow blouse sitting in my closet from Saks. But this one is half-sleeved..er so I reasoned. The best thing about the blouse is that the bow is detachable so it’s like you’re getting two shirts for the price of one!

I wore it with my cardigan sweater from Forever 21, my pleated navy skirt from H&M and my Hello Kitty purse which I adore. The navy heels are by Richard Tyler.

Here are some other inspirational pics that I found of other fashionistas wearing their favorite bow blouses.

This fashionista reminded me that you can convert any blouse into a bow blouse simply by adding a thin scarf. How do you like that?

I love the vibrant colors color-blocked together. This outfit reminded me a little of my bow blouse and shorts outfit shown here.

How sweet is this? There’s something so sweet and unexpected about this pretty pink and camel color pairing.

This classic cream/black pairing caught my interest immediately. It’s adorable, isn’t it?

If you’re a bow fan like I am, and can’t get enough, you’ll love my earlier post featuring Flattery who is the queen of dressing in bows! Her picture is shown below.

Style Diary: What to Wear to Work

What I Wore to Work

A lot of fashionistas blog about their style but not a lot blog about what to wear to work. How does one transform the conservative suit into something special and fashionable? Working in corporate fashion challenges me to test my styling skills in this manner 5-6days a week. And because of it, I feel I’ve honed my styling skills when it comes to what to wear to work. Here are a couple outfit examples from the past week.

Here, I’m wearing a tank from Ann Taylor and suit from Anne Klein. Both those basics could have been pretty simple and plain on their own but I added the fur stole for a little glam, kept my hair long and wavy (which helped keep the look less austere) and carried a designer tote. Sometimes the accessories make your outfit. It was sort of inspired from another Ann Taylor catalog look that I fell in love with. See it here.

Isn’t the look gorgeous? You can shop for it here. Ever thought about wearing a belted fur vest over a suit? Well this picture may just have you doing exactly that.

Yesterday, I wore another Ann Taylor top (hey what can I say, they had an amazing sale this weekend), with my Victoria Secret slacks and modern blazer from Brooklyn Industries. I’ve never worn this pair of pants with this blazer but I find it really works as an alternative to the traditional suit. Sorry the lighting sucks in my bedroom!

I’m loving this metallic blouse because it’s perfect as a layering piece in the trendy lace, has a cool exposed zipper and also works worn alone since it has sleeves. Since the lace was girly, I paired it with tougher accessories including a chain bracelet (which is actually a chain taken off one of my totes), a black bling bracelet and matching earrings. Voila! cook work wear.
