The Flowy Blouse & Pencil Skirt

Posted by Jalisa on Jun 04, 2014 under Dressed Up Casual

Hi Guys!

Is it just me or do you feel that we've kinda blew past spring? In NY, I honestly can't describe what season it feels like, even though it's still technically spring! One day it's in the 80s and sunny, the next it's rainy and in the low 60s, which to me, is not normal considering we are now in June! Anyway, to satisfy me assurance that we are in spring, I have been styling various floral prints here on the blog and this one in particular is subtable for the office. I wore this top a few months ago with a skater skirt, for a more casual feel. This time around, I paired it with a navy pencil skirt, which tied in well with the sleeves of the blouse, allowing for the upper body to shine for us pear shapes.

I always suggest to the pear, rectangular, and hourglass shapes to tuck in flowy like blouses, like the one I'm wearing, to not only emphasize or redefine the waistline, but to create some visual balance and volume to the upper body, particularly for the pear and rectangular shapes.
