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!

Hi Ho Hi Ho it’s off to work we go! While working on this post, I got that song stuck in my head, so I decided to share it. Since it’s Monday, I thought I would share a little office outfit inspiration with you. I mentioned last time I posted this top that it was a must have work shirt. I wanted to show you how perfect it pairs with a pencil skirt for work. You could also pair it with a fun colorful skirt to bring some color into your outfit, but I went with my favorite a classic black and white with a colorful purse. I love that this top is not stiff. I sit at a desk all day and the last thing I want is for my office clothes to be uncomfortable. If you are looking for a great pair of black tights, these H&M ones are awesome! I have had them for over 5 years now and they still look new. I must mention that I also only wear them about half a dozen times a year though. I love pairing them with my pencil and flared skirts when it’s cold out. Of course, today the high is 80, so I will be keeping them in my drawer until it’s cold again in a couple days. I kind of like this few days on and few days off of winter we have going on right now. I usually can only stand cold weather for about 3 days and then I am done with it. You know just enough time to wear my cute jackets and sweaters. I like rotating with spring weather, because the breaks from the cold are nice. Alright ya’ll I am off to tackle this Monday! I hope your day is short and sweet! Thanks for swing by today!
