THE BLOUSE TO BUY THIS SPRING

April 18, 2017 By Kari 18 Comments

…Well, hello there! Remember me? It’s been a minute.

I’m back in action after a month-long break from the blog. Braden and I are completely settled into our new home in Austin which you may have seen a few sneak peaks of on my Instagram and Snapchat and we’ve been enjoying a little quiet time together as newlyweds. Everyone needs some down time here and there to refresh and recharge, but I’m happy to say that I’ll be chatting with you much more frequently on the blog moving forward.  

————

Anyway, you know I love a good staple piece that can be worn in different seasons of the year and can be dressed up or down. And you guys, this black ruffled-sleeve blouse has quickly become an all-time favorite of mine! That’s right, all-time favorite!

The blouse itself runs a bit large, but the over-sized look is surprisingly super flattering on all body types. The drop waist hem hits the perfect part of the mid section and lays super comfortably. And the great news is that it comes in 5 colors!

Maybe I’ve purchased it in three colors, maybe I haven’t. ?

Sometimes you just can’t pass up a $42 option that mimics the look and feel of a designer piece. I can’t wait to pair it with high-waisted denim shorts this summer and a military jacket this fall!

I hope you’re having a wonderful day. Can’t wait to chat more with you soon! x
