I love tops that catch you off guard like this one. From the front this outfit is the perfect girl boss serious work wear look, but when you turn around the gorgeous bow tie detail takes this look to the next level. I paired it with my favorite winter pencil skirt for the perfect outfit to go from work day meetings to happy hour drinks with your girlfriends. My skirt is a few years old, so I linked a few similar styles from Trina Turk.

I have already paired this top with my maroon skinny pants from this post. This top works perfectly left untucked over them. You could also make a smaller bow and create a long flowing in the breeze look with the ends when you walk. For a casual look, pair this blouse with a cute pair of distressed skinny jeans and my go to nude pumps for the perfect date night look.

The hardest part of this top is deciding what to do with my hair. I have been playing with braiding, so I went with that for the photos. A high ponytail or bun also looks cute with a top like this one. If you want to go hair down, I would definitely tie a small bow and leave the ends long so the detail can still be showcased.

I hope ya’ll are having a great week, and thanks for swinging by!
