Helping women love what they wear on a budget

How to Wear a Statement Blouse

How to Wear a Statement Blouse
You may have noticed that the blog has been a little quiet over the last couple of weeks.  That is because life has been a little crazy over here lately.  I had no idea that the end of the summer would be such a busy/stressful time of year for a mom.  Preparing Jack for kindergarten and trying to cram in all the last-minute summer activities has been a lot.  That’s why I needed to not worry about blog content and just focus on other things.

Now that life is starting to settle down I am excited to start getting some blog posts out again.  I’m excited that fall is right around the corner because I love sharing fall fashion!  It’s the best season to style clothes for!

I recently started to work with another local West Michigan boutique called Bella Grace Boutique.  I stopped by the shop a couple weeks ago and I had so much fun trying on different pieces.  I love shopping at boutiques because it’s always a fun way to find new unique styles.  One of the pieces that I came home with is this Raspberry Pink Smocked Blouse.  I will tell you that I am not a blouse girl.  I don’t like a lot of fluff and I always feel like blouses just don’t flatter me.   Well, this blouse has changed my mind about how I feel about a statement blouse.  I loved it immediately when I tried it on.  It has the cutest polka-dot pattern on it.  The sleeves are puffy with a pretty little ruffle at the wrist.  I love the material and how it lays and it’s also thick enough that you don’t need to wear a cami under it.  Plus the color is so perfect for fall.  It’s not pink, it’s not red, it’s not peach, it’s raspberry pink! It is just the perfect statement blouse!
As soon as I tried it on I started to brainstorm all the different outfits I could come up with.  That’s why today I want to share 6 different ways to wear this statement blouse!  Let me know which look is your favorite in the comments!  Also, I have a code at Bella Grace Boutique that you can use to get 20% off your order.  It’s THRFITYWIFE.

I have always loved cardigan sweaters. Lately I’ve been wearing them buttoned up, which is an easy way to update the style and wear it in a new way!
