Embroidered Placket Blouse ($79 + 40%-off)

I love placket blouses for work.  They’re versatile enough to wear to the office or with weekend attire.  They mix the professionalism of a button-up with the femininity of a blouse.  And this one has a really unique detail on the placket to give it a little something extra.

These Everlane blouses are perfect for the office and come in lovely colors.  This Asos blouse has a pleated front that’s very interesting.  If you like prints, this animal print blouse from Billabong is chic and this Jones New York top has a very Tory Burch look to it.

Prefer something sleeveless or with short sleeves?  This Mossimo blouse has a stylish mix of neutral colors, and this French Connection blouse has a sheer yoke.

Plus-size?  This Anne Klein blouse has a great casual look to it, it would be nice with white denim.  Petite?  In addition to the Ann Taylor blouse above, this J.Crew popover would be nice for the weekends.

    I love silk/placket blouses and am wearing one today with jeans for casual Friday! This one may be arriving at my doorstep shortly–it’s a style I can’t get enough of right now because as you mentioned, they are SO versatile.

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.

The Range: Spring Blouses for Work (or Zoom)

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.
