The challenge is how to dress up without grandstanding. A nice blouse is just the thing
This is not a white shirt. It is a cream blouse. Big difference. A crisp white shirt is no good to anyone – not for the next week, anyway. Your white shirt can stay in the ironing pile until 2019, when it will be just the thing to get you in the back-to-work zone. Until then, you don’t need a shirt. What you need, instead, is a blouse.
A blouse is the feminine version of a shirt. So, obviously, it has a lower profile and less puffed-up status, but works just as hard, as well as being prettier. Joking! Well, kinda. Anyway. This blouse is mine, and came from & Other Stories a year or so ago. It is as useful as any white shirt, because a shot of cream lace prettifies anything you put it with, from a pair of jeans to – today – a vintage pencil skirt.
