The Edit: Eight Whimsical, Career Blouses Under-$100

Apr 26, 2018

Basics are great.  Classics are the foundation of your wardrobe.  But special pieces — pieces with whimsy and life and verve — those are for the days when you feel your best (or need a pick me up).  Here are eight blouses that fall into that category.

& Other Stories Tie Detail Blouse ($95)

Two things about this blouse: 1) the tie is not attached, 2) it’s a bit sheer, but the cool sleeves make it worth the camisole.

LOFT Ikat Shirred Yoke Blouse ($59, also in petite)

Modcloth Flattery Ruffled Blouse ($45, also in plus)

& Other Stories Cherry Print Blouse ($65)

Dynamite Wrap Blouse ($25)

Eloquii Embroidered Peasant Blouse ($59, also in plus-petite)

Express Tie Waist Roll Sleeve Blouse ($39, more colors)

LOFT Hummingbird Ruffle Blouse ($54)

    Love this post! My office is “fun” business casual and I’ve been looking for blouses that are dressy enough but still have some joy in them. Thanks!

    Love all these blouses!

    Have you bought anything from Dynamite? Curious about how sizing runs because lots of stuff looks awesome.

    I have a Jcrew Factory dress from last summer that is navy with red cherries all over it. When I ordered it, I thought it was polka dots, but the cherries really add a fun quality that I love. Any days I’m in a bad mood, I know I can wear my “cherry” dress for an immediate pick me up.

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
