Back to Basics: Wrap Blouses

Jul 9, 2021

A wrap top may not seem like a basic, but once you own one, you will understand why it reaches staple status.  If your weight fluctuates (and whose doesn’t these days), a wrap blouse creates a flattering, comfortable look.  I wear mine with wide leg pants or pencil skirts or jeans on casual days.

& Other Stories is my go-to source for anything with a wrap — blouses, dresses, sweaters.  Their selection is always best.  Their price points are a Zara level, and the quality is about the same, sometimes better.

This black-dotted blouse is a really nice option for black separates.  They also have this nice all-black option.  And if you’re feeling loungewear, try this TENCEL top in khaki or black.

Another brand that often has wrap-style tops is Vince Camuto.  This bold hibiscus color is nice.  It’s also available in plus size, as is this basic black one.

Wrap tops are a great throw on piece because they look polished with or without a jacket.  Just add a good earring and a good shoe and be on your merry way.

    Could you speak to the sizing? Is it more Ann Taylor or more department store sizing?

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
