Five Tops/ Five Days: A Pretty, Professional Blouse
May 8, 2019
Here comes summer. And I need work attire.
I was hoping to take the summer off. Get in shape. Work on my yard. Travel. Get Thirtyish off of the ground. But no, I’m a junkie. And when a female candidate for Mayor of Spokane asked me to work for her campaign, I was powerless to say no. Is there a rehab for this?
How cute is this CeCe Pleat Sleeve Blouse ($79)? It’s the perfect top to tuck into pencil skirt or cute trouser. The collar makes it a little more professional than it would be as a crewneck.
For a classic look, go with a simple black pencil. I would also wear it with a green skirt. If it’s chilly where you are (or just in your office), add a black crewneck cardigan.
Plus-size? CeCe has a similar top with a longer sleeve in your size range. It’s pretty, and very feminine.

I got this top in a recent trunk club trunk with high hopes…it felt very ‘twee’ once I had it on and it went back.
I have this blouse and love it.
Word of warning to those who want this top: the arm and neck holes are much slimmer and smaller than most tops. I ended up returning this top because it wasn’t as structured as it looked in the photo. Just read the reviews on nordstrom! But yes it’s very cute.
Ugh. I know you meant this as a joke but joking about being a junkie in need of rehab is in such poor taste. It’s an insult to actual addicts in need of help. There is a mental health crisis and an opiod crisis happening in the country and people making jokes lik this adds to the stigma.
I also hate when food bloggers refer to stuff as “crack chicken” or “crack dip”. I’ll get off my soap box now.
