Basic Blouse

Everyone should own a basic blouse like the one pictured above in either white, black, or a fun color. They are so versatile! I have a similar one in pink and one in blue that I bought from Forever 21 and I have loved them (you can see some of those posts here, here, and here).

I love that they can be dressed up, dressed down, layered, or worn on their own. A blazer is usually my go-to for a blouse when I want to look like I have put a little effort into my look. Sometimes, however, I will just pair my blouse with a simple pair of jeans in a fun color. 

What is your favorite way to wear a basic blouse like this?

    I totally agree. We all need a basic blouse for dressing up or down. The coral one you have here is just lovely. I like the color very much.

    You style this blouse perfectly in both looks! I love it half-tucked into skinnies + a blazer. Easy and chic. :)

    I like this post, because sometimes I forget to buy the simple basics. A simple top like this is the perfect starter piece for mixing and matching your wardrobe. I love this top in orange! Heather

    Love your ideas! If I'm trying to dress up a blouse and don't plan on wearing a skirt or blazer, I'll cinch the waist with a cute skinny belt.

    Great, simple picks- I love when style blogs post things I might actually wear. I`m not the biggest risk-taker & don`t usually wear super bold things, but these are perfect choices because they are bright, pretty, but also simple enough to be really wearable!

    love how tops like there are so versatile. i have a few that are kinda similar and they are great with a cardigan or blazer for work or with jeans for the weekend.
