I have been wanting a tie-front blouse for ages. However, when I typically find one that makes my heart beat fast, it's either a very delicate silk, or more cash than I'm willing to spend. Like this one, from Rachel Zoe. It's both silk and $295. Yay, me! (I don't do this on purpose, wanting totally unattainable clothing is just one of my specialties.)
Anyway, I got sick of The Wants. And remember those skinny scarves we were all buying a million years ago? Since I never part with scarves….I still have mine.
There's basically two ways to do this:
1. Tie it nice and low, which gives a relaxed vibe:
(wearing: J. Crew shirt and skinny scarf, Rich and Skinny denim)
Or
2. Button the shirt completely, and tie the skinny scarf in a great, big, floppy bow at the neck. Kind of a 70's workin' gal vibe.
(wearing: Banana Republic button-down shirt, J.Crew skinny scarf, J.Brand Lovestory Flares, Dansko Rhianna boots, Coach belt)
I'm willing to bet that a wide, soft ribbon would also work great.
Happy Monday!
