Ask Belle: Blouses with Sleeves for Work
Mar 18, 2015
Hi Belle,
My daily uniform is a pencil skirt and blouse, maybe a cardigan if it’s cold. I need some new blouses for spring. I have black and white covered, so I’d love some prints or different colors. Looking in the intern to poor staffer pricer range.

Oh, I love long sleeve blouses. I wear them all year-round, so it’s always nice to have a reason to window shop for them. Here are a few options in colors and prints, as requested.
Solid Colors
Vince Camuto Pleat Front Blouse ($79)
(So in love with these soft pinks right now.)
Forever21 Pleated Front Blouse ($18)
Chase Roll Sleeve Blouse ($69)
Prints and Patterns
Forever21 Abstract Splatter Blouse ($18)
LOFT Floral Charm Blouse ($59)
Forever21 Puzzle Print Top ($24)
Plus-size? For bright colors, try this Sejour split-neck blouse or this NYDJ patterned blouse. Looking for prints? I like the ‘broken photo’ print on this Vince Camuto top. This DKNYC mixed media blouse is cool, as is the soft, dot-print on this Caslon blouse.
Please update with plus size suggestions, if you have time. Thanks!
Oh, my gosh, you’re right. Sorry, busy week here with trial competitions going on. I’ll throw up a few tonight, so check back in the morning. Apologies.
